Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #114

Happy Summer!  Here on the "wet coast" we are in the middle of a heat wave and drought... going to be a long summer. I have been so busy with end of the school year activities with Malcolm and all the outdoor projects we have going on, I feel like I get about a half hour in the craft room a week. I plan to change that and hopefully will start posting a whole bunch of completed projects using up some of my old (ahem, horded) supplies as I get ready for the new CTMH Idea Book that will be available September 1st!

Fun sketch this week from AHSC and I struggled a bit trying to figure out what I wanted to put on it.  I literally shuffled a bunch of my stamps sets and picked one at random.  The stamp set I picked is Hello Summer (C1595) and I decided to use the paper packet already sitting on my workbench, Jackson.  Cardstock I used are Glacier, Sunset, Canary and Colonial White.  I used Cocoa and Sunset inks for stamping.  A few pieces of the skinny green washi tape from the Boardwalk Washi Tape Pack and my quick card is done!

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!

    This is such a cute summery card! I have this stamp set but haven't played with it enough as it is winter here, but you have inspired me to get creating.

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.

Cards In E…
