I’m back again with another card for Atlantic Hearts. I have a baby shower coming up and I know the new trend is to bring a children’s book instead of a card, but how can a card maker not bring a card?! So I’m bringing both a children’s book and a card!

I used a white cardstock base and layered a piece of vellum slightly smaller than the card base. I had originally intended to use a layer of Georgie Patterned Paper but it was just too dark & distracting under the vellum. I then added a layer of pleated ribbon from Making Memories Passport Collection and also a thin strip of gold washi from Little B. I then cut a heart from the Tim Holtz Scribbles & Splats Die on yellow cardstock. I wanted to back the heart to help it stand out from the card so I grabbed a scrap piece of white cardstock and using Scattered Straw Distress Ink to lightly color the cardstock. I then added a few splatters of Heidi Swapp Black Color Shine.

Now head over to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge to enter your interpretation of sketch #164.

Thanks for stopping by!
