Prima Paper Pretty Mosaic Laughter card for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Hello, it's time again for my Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge inspiration. This week I am playing with some new (to me) papers.  I fell in love with this paper stack I acquired second hand. I created an entire series of cards with it.  I hope to post soon.  

Here's the sketch:

I fussy cut a butterfly from a scrap of paper and inked the edges. I manipulated the wings and adhered to the card only in the center for a more 3D effect.

I stamped the sentiment in Perfect Plum and inked the edges.  I layered all the paper pieces on a soft plum card stock.

Ingredients:

Prima Pretty Mosaic Paper

Stampin Up Word Play sentiment

Stampin Up Perfect Plum ink

misc card stock

Colorbox Cat's Eye ink

pearls and brads

Karen Burniston Tiny Gnome Birthday Card

Welcome to my blog, today's card was a birthday card for a friend's dad.  I had a lot of fun creating several different gnomes.  I still have a couple more in my stash.  The others are made with different papers.  I loved the fun dots on this little guy.  I paired him with a simple background accentuating the funky color palette. 

I used the die as a stencil to ink the details of the gnome hair.

I can't wait to do something a little more involved with these little guys.  This card did serve it's purpose and I hope brought a smile.

Ingredients:

Karen Burniston Tiny Gnome die set and word die

Tim Holtz Distress ink Hickory Smoke

misc scrap paper from my stash
