Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #120

AUGUST! Already. Time really just goes a little too quickly. For this weeks challenge at AHSC I tried to do a more "manly" card and have a little fun with the new Zoe Paper Packet.

For my base I embossed slate cardstock with my Arrow Embossing Folder and then went at it with my sanding block to expose the white core.  I hand cut out the three banner strips from the Zoe Paper and used canary cardstock with a thin sweet leaf piece for my large banner. I also sanded this piece and stamped my sentiment from August's Stamp of the Month "Framed" S1508 in black ink.  I added a few arrows from my black arrow washi tape and wrapped a piece of glacier extra thick twine around the end.  I used thick foam tape to adhere the banner to my card giving it a bit more of a pop.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #178

Image
I love how sometimes I see a sketch, and I create my card/project almost exactly the same and then other times it turns into something that still has the base elements but is not at all how I had planned it! That happened with this sketch for AHSC.  I started out with so many ideas (good sketches do that, give you tons of ideas) and then while playing with my many ideas this card was the outcome. 

Products I used to create this card:
- Kraft Paper, Juniper Cardstock - CTMH Oh Deer! paper - Gold Shimmer Trim - Gold Sequins - Cricut Flower Market - Wreath - Cricut Artistry - Deer
Thank you for stopping by, I truly appreciate your comments.  I hope you have been inspired to come play along with us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!
