I have a very busy week ahead of me and made up this super quick card using this weeks sketch from AHSC and the Blossom Cardmaking Workshop on the Go.  The workshop comes with directions to make 15 cards (5 each of 3 designs) but of course there is lots of room (and supplies) for your own ideas and interpretation. For several upcoming workshops I am doing just that!

For this card I used my Cricut Art Philosophy to make my pretty flower and its stem. I used the scallop border punch directly on my card base and then used the zip strip from the top of the paper for the pattern contrast down the right side.  

The Happy Birthday is from the exclusive stamp set that comes with the Blossom WOTG and I stamped it in Sunset.  I also inked the edges of my card base, the kraft paper and patterned papers with sunset. 

I really wanted to add a bow to this card and used the Extra Thick Glacier Twine that came with the Blossom WOTG.  To do something "a little bit different" I knotted the ends of my twine and adhered it to my card instead of tucking the ends.  I then tied the bow around the adhered piece.  

Thank you for stopping by, I truly appreciate your comments.  Please 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 as one of the top 3 cards of the week.

Happy Crafting!

Ariana and Delicate Wings...

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.
