AHSC #116 - Do what makes you happy

This week over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, we have an awesome sketch to play with.  There is just so much potential with this sketch.

Remember that you can change out the image with anything you choose....our sketches are a starting point, and shows you placement. We encourage you to let your creative juices flow.

I decided to stay true to the sketch, but kept it pretty clean and simple.  I used the stamp set Wavy Blooms.  One of my favourite stamps.  The flower is coloured with ShinHan Alcohol Markers, Cherry Pink and Tender Pink.  The sentiment in stamped in Black Ink on a layer of Smoothie, Blossom paper, and White Daisy.

I hope you like my card, but continue on to Atlantic Hearts to see the fabulous creations from the design team.

What makes you happy? AHSC # 102

I'm still not sure how we managed to get to sketch #102 already, it just seems like yesterday that I was still in the planning phase of creating the sketch challenge and doodling sketches in my notebook.

Anyway, I changed up the sketch a little as I stamped my sentiment in the matted section of my card instead of directly on my base piece.  I am always second guessing myself, and might try a different sentiment that isn't quite so large and recreate this one again......but all I know is that I love to craft and teach others this passion of mine.....it is what makes me happy.

Here is this weeks sketch:

Here is my card:

I used the Blossom paper and coordinating colors to create this card. The flower and sentiment are from the Stamp Set Wavy Blooms (D1651) and were colored with ShinHan Touch Twin Alcohol Markers.  I used the Thick Twine in Glacier for my embellishment and stamped the sentiment in Black Ink.  To create the scallop border on the mat I used the scallop border punch and used 3D foam tape to pop the mat and the flower.

I hope you will head on over to Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and visit the creations from my Design Team.
