Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #25

Good Morning!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend (here in Canada!).  Today we are on Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #25!  Wow....the weeks keep flying by!

Here was the sketch we were given:

 

I decided to play with the Later Sk8r paperpack from Close to My Heart (which is now retired).  I added a few chipboard elements distressed with a gold pigment ink and a sentiment from a Kelly Purkey stampset I had in my stash.  Here is my finished card:

Supplies Used:

Close to My Heart
 - Slate Paper
 - Later Sk8r Paperpack
 - Slate Twist ties
 - Pear Ink
 - Lagoon Ink
 - Slate Ink
 - Chipboard Starts
 - Cardboard corrugated stars

Kelly Purkey
 - "Dude" Stamp set

Misc.
 - Gold Pigment Ink

I hope you enjoy and now go and create something to play along with our sketch challenge!
 

In the next few weeks I hope to post a few Christmas and Holiday related projects, so stay tuned!  Do you have a project or paperpack that you want to see me tackle & post?  Let me know in the comments!

Cheers!

Some new cards....just because!

Hello everyone!

I wanted to enter a few different Challenge Blogs (including Creative Corner Challenges) this week, so I thought I would just to a "week in review" type of post with some of the different projects I have been working on this week!

Here we go!

I would also like to enter this card in the Creative Corner Challenges as well!

This is the card I am entering for Creative Corner Challenges!

I believe almost all the supplies for these cards came from Close to My Heart (mostly Huntington & Buzz and Bumble paperpacks).  I loved playing with the Pigment Inks to make the multicolored embossing on middle two cards.  

I hope you enjoy these cards.  Fall is in the air!

Creative Corner Challenges Entry - Child's Play

Hello my friends! 

This week I made up a card to enter at Creative Corner Challenges.  The theme this week is "Child's Play" and immediately my mind went to this cool Stampin' Up! Paper called "Storybook Friends" and of course, my fav, October Afternoon!

Here is what I created:

I really love this paper pack and wish I had more of it!  I also used 2 different Washi Tapes by October Afternoon.  Cardstock is by Stampin' Up! (Baja Breeze Textured Paper & Soft Suede).


Hope you enjoy this card and have a great day!
