Happy Monday, everyone! It's time for the latest Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, and I wanted to create a card in patriotic colors for Memorial Day, but not necessarily in a Memorial Day theme, because I don't send out those kinds of cards! But I knew I had some papers in vintage patriotic colors, so that's what I went with! First, the sketch:
To accomodate the size of my papers, I chose to make my card a wee bit larger than normal; it's 6 1/4"x 4 3/4", from Basic Beige. I cut my printed background paper to fit my card, then simply cut our the floral panel and added a Night of Navy border, although in my photo, it looks much brighter:
The sentiment is from Hero Arts, stamped on another piece from the same paper pad and diecut with a 3/4" wide banner die:
And since my card is a little larger than normal, I created a custom envelope with some paper I had in my stash, no idea the maker!!
I hope that you'll have some time this week to play with our sketch at the Atlantic Hearts! Thanks for visiting; enjoy your day and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteLove this LeAnne - a definite patriotic feel, but without the stars and stripes. Those papers are just fab!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like summer! Pretty card, LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteGoodness! This is just so striking with the image of the flowers against the boards, then the whole thing bleeding out into the richly coloured boards of the base. Simple but oh, so very effective!
