This week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge is a shout-out to the Close To My Heart Color of the Year, Blue Belle. This color was announced last September and is about to retire as of August 31st. It's such a gorgeous color - it makes me sad to see it go!
The pattern in the squares and rectangles was created with an embossing folder. I inked the inside of the folder with Blue Belle ink, placed my White Daisy paper inside and ran it through my embossing machine. It's a fun technique and you get completely different results on both sides of your paper.
Here is sketch #432 that inspired my card.
I found this sketch to be a little more challenging that some. But that could just be me having a creative block. How about giving it a go yourself? I'd love to see what you come up with.
Below are the products I used for this card. As
I said, Blue Belle is retiring at the end of August so if you love this color
be sure to grab some before it's gone!
