Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #219

Welcome to this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!  This was a great sketch to use some more of my No Worries paper pack.... I loved using all of my scraps to cut a bunch of stitched banners for the main background design.

I'm also playing along with the No Worries Challenge for July at Heart2HeartChallenges!  You should check it out!

I used some dies from C.C. Designs that I got on clearance for stamping my sentiment and the vellum label.  Love these!  And that great Margarita glass is from Two Paper Divas... they aren't around any more, however you can still find some of their stamp sets around if you search online...

And I hardly ever just put my sentiment on the base, but I felt like I had enough banners...lol!  So I thought this was a good time for that!  I carried the green from the Margarita glass around the design by adding a few green sequins..

That's it for me today!  Hope you enjoyed this quick card... LOVE this sketch!  Hope you join us over at Atlantic Hearts this week!

Popping in for a quick one today!  Needed a man card for a young man at work that has a birthday tomorrow... the poor guy has to sit in our area and he's one of two young men in a room of 11... and he's a really good sport!  He's one of my favorite people... probably because he reminds me of my kids... his sense of humor and fun.... so of course I had to make him a birthday card!

I'm using the No Worries paper pack (it's our theme over at the Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge.. you should check it out.. you don't have to use the actual papers!)  I'm playing along with the sketch challenge over at Dragonfly Journeys (sketch is at the end of the post).  I'm also playing along with Heart2Heart Challenges Fiesta Challenge, and Cards 4 Guys Something Blue For Father's Day

I will admit... I don't have a whole lot of stamps suitable for a 20-something young man... or really a whole lot of man stamps...lol!  But I did have this cool set from Two Paper Divas with the Beer Mug on it and I thought it would be perfect... although I did have a hard time deciding between the Margarita and the Beer Mug...lol!  But I landed on this one because I thought it would be fun to color... I made some bubbles on the inside (I've made better bubbles but they were so tiny and an afterthought so not the best... but he won't notice..lol); I also added some white streaks for a reflection and some liquid glass to the foam and sliding down the sweaty glass... I don't think Two Paper Divas is around any longer, however you can still find some of their stamps on Amazon and on the Walmart website...

And I am loving that Cheers die from Paper Smooches... love their word dies and the fonts on their stamps.. I think it really adds to the fun feel!

This sentiment was from the Two Paper Divas set as well... and all dies are from Craftin Desert Divas except for the double stitched circle... I believe that is from MFT.

Hope you enjoyed your stop here today!  I'll be making a few man cards over the next week or so... don't forget to come back and see me!  You can sign up to get email notifications if you want!

See you again soon!
