Hello and welcome to my blog today. I present my take on this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. We are teaming up with Double Trouble Challenge for the next two weeks. I am continuing to use up premade pieces from my stash. I found this black and pearl alcohol ink background. I decided to continue with the monochromatic theme. I added washi and die cuts along with a stamped and embossed sentiment.
Here's this week's sketch.
I layered the alcohol background on shimmer paper then a shimmer silver card base. I used those same papers and more for the die cut foliage. I almost forgot to mention the halloween charm I added, topped off with twine. To finish the card I added a few gems.
Here is my desk as I was building the card.
As I enjoy doing, I made a second card with the additional background. Two cards were just logical. However, I changed up the die cuts, charm and washi on this one. I added a little magical apple!
I die cut multiple flowers and shapes out of monochromatic blacks, grey and whites including shimmers and prints. I just pulled out my newly organized scraps. I used Totally Tiffany Collection Keepers for each color. Well, my blues spilled over into 3 keepers. I found a bunch at Tuesday Morning a few months ago. I have successfully filled them all! It is so easy to find pieces to die cut now in just the right hue.
