Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #10!


 

Happy Canada Day!  The sun came back this weekend and in the Alberni Valley (where I live) it feels like someone turned the heat way up!  It is currently 30'C and the weather network says it feels like 37'C.  We love it but it takes a bit to get use too especially when it was only 20'C a few days ago.  Hello summer... swim lessons and sunburns here we come!

We are already at week #10 for the Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge and as always Michelle created a super fun sketch for us to play with!  We have had a number of new babies recently and I have been trying to keep up with all the welcome cards.  This week I needed to make another hello baby card but this one needed to be a little divergent from the norm as it is for a co-worker of my husbands and well my husband is a little divergent. :)  LOL If I made him a flowery, cutesy welcome baby card I do not know if it would actually get delivered!


Using some of the awesome Later Sk8r paper (so sad that it is already sold out!) and the "Outta This World" stamp set this card came together quickly.  I stamped my robot on White Daisy cardstock using Pear and Outdoor Denim Pigment Inks and I then embossed the image using Clear Detail Embossing Powder.  I stamped my space ship and sentiment on Whisper cardstock with pigment inks and also embossed the images.

After several minutes of fussy cutting I decided my robot needed a little more colour so I used my Lagoon Alcohol Marker to fill in some of his details and I used the Pear Alcohol Marker on the large dots of my space ship.  I then added a few of the Blue & Green Epoxy Bubbles and finished my card off using the ever present and my very favorite Stardust Glitter Glitz Gel!

Thank you for stopping by and I truly appreciate your comments! Follow the link to check out all the great artwork submitted to the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge! I hope you get inspired and decide to come play along!  We would love to see what you create and you may be voted into the top 3 cards of the week.

Happy Crafting!

    Candra I love this card. I did not get to order any of the Later Sk8r and I think I heard it is gone. I love this paper and love your robot guy!

Ariana and Delicate Wings...

Image
Working on cards for my monthly Card Club and I love to use "challenges" to help me focus (sometimes I have too many ideas and not enough paper!).  Challenges are not only helpful but also a lot of fun.
Products I used to make this cards are the very pretty Ariana Paper Packet, the sentiment is from the Joyful Birthday Stamp Set (B1419) and the current Petite Perks - Delicate Wings (ask me how you can get yours free!) for the stamped images. All stamping was done in Indian Corn Blue Ink and all products are from Close To My Heart.  Some of the challenges that inspired me for this card are:

Heart 2 Heart Challenges: Pantone Spring 2014 Color Challenge The challenge is to use one (or more) of the Pantone Spring 2014 colors on your project; only neutrals such as white, cream, tan, gray, or black may also be used. I feel the Ariana Colour palette and the Indian Corn Blue that I used for the stamping fall into the colour palette used in the Pantone Spring 2014 nicely.
