Stampin Up Plus card trio for Atlantic Hearts Challenge

Welcome today.  I got a bit carried away with this week's Atlantic Heart Challenge sketch.  I created a trio of cards using a lot of Stampin Up products along with lots of other products. I began by spraying several backgrounds with various shimmer and ink sprays.  I then searched my stash for scraps to satisfy the assorted strips.  I began leaning into monochromatic but my final card branch out a bit using a 6x6 paper collection.

My first card uses spray ink and scraps from my purple papers.  I stamped in the sentiment in Stampin Up Concord Grape. The sentiment is from Stampin Up sentiment set. I used the second part inside.  I finished off the card with gems.

Here is this week's sketch.  A really great design for using scraps and getting inky!

I went pink with this card.  I utilized a left over sentiment from my last Atlantic Hearts Challenge inspiration.  I pulled the blue from some accents in the printed paper otherwise I stayed pink!

Frida Immersive Exhibit layout for Sketches in Thyme

Welcome to the next installation of my Chicago 2022 scrapbook. I scrapped this page per the latest Sketches in Thyme Facebook Group sketch.  We have four sketches per month and this is the fourth.  I am using the same K & Co papers I have had on my desk for a couple of months.  I purchased them second hand so I don't have the name of the stack but they are so pretty! I just love the bright color combination.

Here is the sketch.

I used both pink and orange letters to create the title.

I printed these two photos small to accommodate the sketch. I cut several circles out of different scraps and since I they are doubled sided papers I had lots of choices.

Ingredients:

K & Co papers

Creative Memories sticker letters and circle cutter

foil washi tape

gems and flair
