Creative Memories Enchanted Power Palette with Sketches in Thyme

Welcome to my blog today.  I am posting this month's layout for Sketches in Thyme.  I have switched gears and I am scrapping vacation again. I used Creative Memories Enchanted Power palette for this layout including all the embellishments.  Even the bling was part of the collection. 

I thought the printed paper with the frame of vines really worked with this sketch.

Stampin Up Cycle Celebration with Sketch N Scrap sketch

Today is my niece's birthday, I made her this card to match the cute dress I purchased.  The print of the dress is just like the denim with white star paper.  I knew I had this paper in my stash, it is from Creative Memories many years ago.  I paired it with some birthday images from Stampin Up.

Here's the sketch from Sketch N Scrap.  I switched the flower up with a star because the dress had stars, however, I didn't want to forget it is a birthday card, so I chose the candle images.  Two for her second birthday and I circled the 2 on the paper.

I stamped the images and colored the flames with alcohol ink. I die cut the stitched star out of plain card stock.  I stamped the sentiment and die cut it with one of my most used sets from Kat Scrapiness. 

Ingredients:

Stampin Up Cycle Celebration stamps

Stampin Up Blueberry Bushel and Cranberry Crisp inks

Kat Scrappiness Stitched Sentiment Strips dies

Stitched Star nesting dies

Copic Markers for flames:  Y32 Cashmere, Y19 Napoli Yellow, Y17 Golden Yellow

Alcohol Ink with foil and Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome.  I have my latest inspiration for  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge today.  I used a lot of scraps in this design. First the alcohol ink panel is a scrap from other cards.  All the fishtails are from scrap as well. I used the 1" Creative Memories square punch to create the tails. I inked the edges of all the pieces with black.

Here is the sketch:

I cut the hello sentiment twice once in iridescent and once in black to create a shadow.
