I am back for week 2 of the 400th Sketch Celebration at Freshly Made Sketches!  This is obviously my week for purple cards....I just can't seem to put the Eggplant ink pad away!  Freshly Made Sketches is creating with their previous Sketch #200 this week-


I took the liberty of curving my panel vs. going straight across. Along with the curved panel, I curved my sentiment as well.  One of the many great things about Close To My Heart stamps, you can curve them to your liking.  Just apply gentle pressure to the stamp when adhering to your stamp block.  No worries, your stamp will return to the original form after you remove it from the block.  Here is the complete stamp set and the sentiment in it's straight form-

The color scheme of the True Love papers is certainly a favorite of mine.  I can't get enough of the combo of Eggplant, Sage and Sapphire!  The purple family has always been my favorite color. Being a mom of all boys.....cards and my craft room are about the only place I can express it!  I can't even wear it!  Purple just does not work for me in clothes, either!  So cards, it is!  I created my card based on the sketch challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenges.


My lovely watering can of flowers is from the Where Happiness Blooms stamp set.  This set has been wildly popular and has sold out previously.  The set is in stock as I write this, but is due to be retired August 31, 2019.  If you would like a set for your collection, now is the time to order! You can order just the stamp set or a bundle with Thin Cuts dies.  I personally love the cut out features of the dies.


Design Tip: After inking up the multiple layers on my stamp set, I went back in and added a little shading with pencils for added depth.  I also went over the flowers with the Clear Shimmer Brush for some added bling.

Ok, I had so much fun creating my last card for the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge, that I am back with take 2!  This is such a super fun sketch and it really showcases the versatility of the Close To My Heart papers!  My card is created with the True Love Paper Collection.  All of the fun elements on my card (minus the bling) are also from the same paper pack!  Here is the original sketch, which I have added to slightly-


Do you fear mixing pattern papers?  Close To My Heart can totally alleviate that for you!  All of the patterns in the paper collections mix together beautifully.  The papers work great for all paper crafting! Scrapbooking, cardmaking, home decor...you name it!  I applied my elements in layers and added a tiny bit of bling-


If you  have yet to check out the True Love Paper Collection, don't wait....it is due to be retired as of August 31, 2019!  Here is a look at the beautiful designs that are included-

Design Tip: My elements are applied in layers with 3-D foam tape.  I applied a little bling with a clear shimmer brush to my flowers and small heart.  A few bitty sparkles finishes the design!
