AHSC628 Celebrate

Happy Monday, peeps! It's dreary and gray here in SE PA, but my card today will brighten it up!  The Atlantic Hearts sketch challenged me a little, but in the end, I really enjoyed creating this card! I just had to think outside the box a bit! Here's the sketch:

And here we go:

Rather than stamp the "splotches" figured in the sketch, I pulled out some retired Hues of Happiness DSP and tore little strips of the pink hues to complement my Strawberry Slush card base.  I found some pretty glimmer paper in my stash and diecut the word "celebrate", then added punched butterflies in various pink prints:

A tiny sliver of black glimmer paper formed the bodies of the butterflies and I added some black sequins from my stash for the heads.  Everything went on a piece of Basic White that had been embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  I left the inside blank; I'll add a sentiment when I need a special card for a special someone!  I think it's bright and cheerful enough to offset any birthday blues someone might be having, LOL!

I hope you'll play along with our sketch this week!  Wednesday will be the reveal for ALL the DT's creations but you can share yours at the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog any time!  Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
