I thought of you today card for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

I thought of you today and made this card. I used the latest Atlantic Hearts Challenge sketch. I used some old dies and some newly acquired second hand dies on this card. I haven't played with the Cheery Lane foliage dies in a while. The new ones are by Love from Liz. I purchased them second hand and discovered this company. They have some neat stuff.

Here is the sketch.

I manipulated the die to raise the flower petals. And inked edges of die cuts and card layers with SU Tip Top Taupe and my new acquisition of blending brushes. I do like the way they spread the ink. I will be using them more..

An aerial view.

Honey Bee 6x6 Playful Pastels paper

Shine Bright with Spellbinders Kaleidoscope Argyle dies for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Hello, today's card uses Atlantic Hearts Challenge Sketch 586. I had fun playing with this die for the first time. It's always hard to know exactly how all the pieces work together the firs time around. I think it worked out great. I wanted a lot of pink. I gave this to my niece for her high school graduation.

Here is the sketch.

Another view of the elevation of the die cut pieces. I did not use any foam tape, there is just a lot of individual layers.

Ingredients:

Spellbinders Kaleidoscope Argyle dies
