I’m back again with another card for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

AHSC 158-Happy Birthday Card

For my card this week I started with a white cardstock base and cut another white panel slightly smaller than the base. To create the grid design on the background I used washi tape to create a mask on the panel. I then used Glass Bead Glitter Gel along with a Tim Holtz stencil to create a subtle polka dot pattern.

For the focal point of the card I used two circle dies from Big Picture Classes on fabric & vellum. I then cut an anchor from (retired) CTMH Outdoor Denim Cardstock using a Hero Arts die. The sentiment is from the CTMH Hostess Exclusive Birthday Wish Stamp Set & is white heat embossed on Outdoor Denim Cardstock that was cut using a banner die. I added silver stitching around the panel and also through the die cut circles.

It’s difficult to capture the Glass Bead Glitter Gel in the photos but it really does shine and has just the perfect texture!! Actually this card just screams texture with the heat embossing, the mixed media, the fabric and the stitching!

I’m back again with another layout from our cruise.

Big Picture Classes Cut File, Dear Lizzy, Heidi Swapp, Hip Kit Club Layout

I used a cut file designed by Ashley Horton for Big Picture Classes on patterned paper from the Dear Lizzy-Fine & Dandy Collection. After I had it cut I backed it with 6 photos and 3 Project Life cards from the Hip Kit Club. Then I grabbed CTMH White Daisy Cardstock and added some mixed media. For the pink paste I used Faber Castell Glass Bead Glitter Gel, CTMH Blush Re-Inker & white acrylic paint. Once I had the color mixed I used a Tim Holtz stencil and created a random polka dot background.

I added stitching to a few of the Polaroid squares and then started embellishing. I used multiple products including: Pink Fresh Studio Puffy Sequins, a chipboard gold glittered circle from the Maggie Holmes-Shine Collection, gold glitter hearts from CTMH, Heidi Swapp gold Minc arrows, a retired CTMH Balloon Ride enamel shape, CTMH Pink Enamel Dots, Gold Glitter Trim from Michael’s, a mint & gold Heidi Swapp bow, and a few other odds and ends from my stash. For the title I used tiny wood veneer alpha letters from Studio Calico.
