Chantilly Card - Sketch Challenge

I created this card for the sketch challenge at the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. The sketch is below. We would love to have you play along with us this week! I combined the Chantilly paper pack with the butterflies from Dotty For You. The like the way the soft colors blend together. One of my favorite techniques that I don't use nearly often enough is machine stitching on paper. I love the detail it adds to the card. Add in a few buttons and a little bling and everything came together perfectly! I am also entering this card in the Nip and Tuck sewing challenge at the Heart 2 Heart Blog. Check out the other great creations there!

Claire Card featuring the May SOTM

I absolutely love the colors in the Claire paper pack! They just have that cozy feel to them, kind of reminds me of a quilt that my grandmother had when I was little. When I saw the sketch this week, I immediately thought of these papers. While browsing through the blog of a fellow CTMH consultant, Susan Williams, I found a tutorial she had created for a sunburst card and thought it would be great with the sketch and Claire papers. Check out her tutorial here at Just Crazy Blessed and while you are there check out her other posts, she is just crazy talented! Here is the sketch for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. We would love to have you play along with us! I had fun using the May SOTM  on this card. I just love those pinwheels. If you would like to purchase the stamp set, it is available on my website until the end of the month.

Buzz and Bumble Card

I am so excited to be a part of the Design Team for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge! What an honor! Below is the sketch for this week. I must admit, I struggled a little with this sketch. I think sometimes the simple sketches are more challenging for me. After pulling out several paper packs and not having much success putting something together that I liked, I saw that the Buzz and Bumble paper from our club meeting a couple of weeks ago was still sitting on the corner of the table. I grabbed it and this card suddenly came together rather quickly! So, I guess it was a good thing I hadn't cleaned my scrap area lately! Lol! Check out the other cards at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge for some great inspiration!
