AHSC #65 - Congratulations

I think it's kinda funny when I get stuck on my own sketch......even with my notes wrote beside it on what I want to use, when the time comes to actually create it, it doesn't come together.

This isn't the first time this has happened either, but I didn't give up, and I managed to create a card that I'm very happy with.

Here is this week's sketch:

Here is my creation:

I started with a White Daisy cardbase, and layered a piece of pattern from Balloon Ride.  I then cut an oval from one of my cricut cartridges from a second pattern from Balloon Ride.  I choose Desert Sand as my mat and the colour for stamping my sentiment from Casual Expressions (D1525).  The flowers and leaves are from A Mother's Love a Hostess stamp.

I hope you will take the time to hop on over to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and check out the amazing creations from our Design Team.

Sketch #48 AHSC meets Balloon Ride

Wow, I had to pull this creation out of my stash, can't believe I remembered that I had made this one a few weeks ago, and forgot all about it.  Here I was struggling to make a card last night, as my weekend got away from me.  My husband looked at the sketch, and says to me, didn't you make that card a few weeks ago, and sure enough I did.

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:

I used Balloon Ride to create this card, along with a piece of Sky Cardstock and Chocolate Ink to distress the edges.  The sentiment is from Greatest Love(B1444) and is stamped in Chocolate Ink.  I hope you love my card, I love how CAS it is.
