Happy Monday, peeps! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday! Ours was very busy visiting friends and family, as well as hosting as well! We still have New Year's to look forward to as well! I rarely send out New Year's cards, but since I did miss sending a Christmas card or two, I thought I'd make a couple to mail out! Just in time, the new Atlantic Hearts Sketch is up:
I also used the photo inspiration from Inspired By:
I must say this card was not without its issues---I forgot that I should only use Stazon when stamping on vellum, and that glue dots show through when you use black cardstock! Oh well! The balloons were punched out of various glimmer papers with the retired balloon punch; sentiment is from the retired Greetings of the Season, diecut with the Stitched So Sweetly die. I embossed a piece of vellum with the Wishing Stars embossing folder from Spellbinders, and I added some swirly stars (Close to My Heart) and some miscellaneous sequins. Everything went on a Very Vanilla card!
I hope you'll play along with our sketch this week! It's a fun one! Be sure to share it with us at Atlantic Hearts! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
