MFT Creative Olympics Event #3 Crafty Biathlon

The challenge was to combine a technique with a card style. I chose inlaid die cutting with a gate fold card. I die cut layered hearts, the larger heart from red cardstock and the smaller from white. Using the paw print from pet accents, I cut it into the white heart. I cut them a second time out of black cardstock and inlaid them into the white heart. I layered the hearts on top of a gate fold card that I had added a panel which has paw prints dry embossed on it and cut down the middle. Using foam tape on the left side of the heart and a velcro dot on the right side so that it will open and close. Inside I added a panel with the sentiment.

Supplies

Stamp - MFT (critter condolences)

Dies - MFT (pet accents, layered hearts)

Ink - MFT (extreme black)

Embossing Folder - Darice (paw print bkgrd)

Atlantic Hearts #238

My supply of sympathy cards is quite depleted so I thought I would use this week's challenge sketch to create something simple and yet soothing using a yellow and white color scheme. This card began with an embossed layer by M'press with a round frame in the middle, I then added a stamped greeting by MSE and surrounded it with varied yellow flowers by Prima. I put Ranger liquid pearls in the center of each flower. I decided on an additional thin layer of black behind the white embossing to help ground the black lettering in the center. Hope you'll play along with us as the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca/
