Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

This is my first entry for an online challenge, so go easy on me :-)

Being STAMPtember, I wanted to be able to create something on as many days as possible this month. I can't promise every day, but often.

To get my mojo flowing, I checked out a CTMH sister's blog for sketch challenges. This week is sketch #19.

And here is my entry:




made with the You are my Happy stamp set, for National Stamping Month. You can buy this set of 3 carrier sheets for only $15 when you spend $75 from 1 to 30 September via my CTMH website.

I used the pretty flowers on the icons sheet, Cotton Candy and Slate ink, and white daisy cardstock. I used the Australian standard A6 card folded in half, dimensions are 14.85 x 21 cm.

Hope you like it :-)

Have you entered a sketch challenge before?
Please share links in the comments for other challenges, I would love to see what you create

Yours in craft,
Monika

  1. this is darling. I felt like I was reading Dr. Seuss, and the little birds are as cute as can be. Brought back memories of reading to my children when they were little. Thanks you so much, and thanks for joining us at AHSC!!

    1. Thanks Barbara, I had the same thoughts, as I still read to my girls (9 and 3) and they love Dr Seuss :-)

  2. This is really gorgeous Monika! A really lovely card, well chosen colours and wonderful sentiment! I now feel very inspired... just wish that New Consultant kit would be dropped at the door so I can get playing.

  3. Great card Monika. First time entering in a challenge? Awesome! I do it often. It helps me with the feedback on the project and also gives me a little push to do it again.
    I don't want to overwhelm you, but there is a great site for challenges at paperplayful.blogspot.com. I check there often.
    Hope to see your projets again soon.
