Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge – Sketch # 27

I continue to adore the sketches for Atlantic Hearts Challenge. The sketches provide awesome opportunities to work with one of the new Close to my Heart paper packs. For the next several weeks I will be using Sarita paper for the sketches. The sketches are wonderful and versatile to   cards in the Saritia paper packet.. For the bling and flowers on the top of the box I used a variety of CTMH paper flowers and Mini Medley packages of various embellishments. The inspiration for this card box cover came from a card in the new CTMH Fall/Winter 2013 idea book and catalog. The cards are stamped using several new stamp sets from the new CTMH fall/winter 2013 catalog and the Saritia wonderful stickease stickers. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in a catalog and the specific items used for these cards and the box!

As with all my cards these days, I have decorated the inside of each card as well as the front of the card.Please make sure to visit the Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge and join in the fun each week with the wonderful sketches provided!

Heart 2 Heart – Lace and Color My Heart – Crystal Blue and Twilight

This week at Heart 2 Heart the challenge is lace and at Color My Heart it is. When I read lace I immediately though of the wonderful snowflake I used last month for the Heart 2 Heart My Favorite Things challenge. So …. I used the same stamp in CTMH crystal blue and twilight for the Heart 2 Heart challenge and the Color My Heart challenge this week. What do you think of the changes created with this wonderful stamp from last month?

This is the picture of the card I used for the Heart 2 Heart My Favorite Things challenge in September.
