Rainbow Brick Card

 This card is based on one I saw online - I love rainbows so a rainbow brick background was very appealing!

I stencilled the background with 8 oxide inks in a rainbow colour pattern. The butterflies and the sentiment were die cut from black cardstock and I added gold glittery bodies to the butterflies. The front was adhered to a black card base. I think it's quite striking! 

Enjoy,

Christmas Wishes Windows

 I recently purchased this set of windows dies from Spellbinders - I have wanted it for some time! 

There are tiny pieces in this set... and so many of them! I chose a blue and silver colour scheme and arranged all the windows and the elements on a paint splattered background. I used white glitter paper for the snow and added a bit of shading to the trees. The sentiment was hot foiled and placed at the bottom. I added some green and clear Stickles to the wreath, the plant and the trees. 

Enjoy,

Swinging Birthday

 Sketchy Saturday is a challenge I like to do when I have some extra time. This one was fun as I chose a black and white colour scheme. 

The papers are old SU papers and I added a black mat around the largest piece. The image was stamped in black and die cut with a circle, along with a mat piece. A small sentiment was added with foam tape. Easy! 

Enjoy,

Hope All is Well

 This simple card was based on a sketch - I used 49 and Market papers. 

I followed the sketch for the placement of the panels and die cut a stitched hexagon from vellum. The image is a rub-on that was die cut with a circle and I added a darker circle behind it, along with some silver metallic thread. The sentiment was added at the bottom of the circle. I used three colours of Liquid Pearls to add some dots around the card. 

Enjoy,

AH 684 - Beautiful Friend Flowers

Welcome to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 684!

The sketch is shown below. 

I chose a 3D embossing folder for the background, cut that piece into three even sections and adhered them to a white mat with foam tape. The turquoise circle was die cut and I added a white circle on top. The flowers were stamped, coloured and added in the centre, along with some open vellum pieces. A small bow was placed at the base of the flowers and I added a hot foiled sentiment. The flowers were brushed with a shimmer brush to add some sparkle. 

Come and join us at Atlantic Hearts and show us how you interpret this sketch. 

You have until Sunday evening to link up your project. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy,
