Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #54


I find it very hard to concentrate when the sun is out and I have things to get done. Like make something fun with this weeks sketch from AHSC!

Having played with the very bright and colourful Lollydoodle the past few weeks this switch to the more masculine Timberline paper packet was a bit of a shock to my creative system. Lets just say that way more humming and hawing went into this little grad card than I care to admit!
 
 Products I used to create this card are my Cricut using the Artbooking cartridge, Juniper Ink, chocolate, champagne and juniper cardstock, the very lightest paper in the brown& tan Glitter Paper and the cute little grad hat was stamped from the Congrats Graduate (A1139) Stamp Set.

This card turned out very clean and simple and way more masculine that I had originally intended but as mentioned Timberline is a bit more "boyish" with it's plaid, wood grain and hounds-tooth patterns. 

My apologies on the picture, I just could not get the light right today!  You would think with all the sunshine coming in the window it would be a better picture but nope, not today.

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 might get voted top card of the week!  
Happy Crafting!

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.
