Cute & Simple ~ Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #683

Do you sometimes have trouble getting started on a project? A sketch is a great way to get the creativity going! it gives you a way to create just the way the sketch lays it out OR as a point to shift and pivot the design your way.

Our team at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge shares a sketch each Monday to get you started. The blo9g opens on Wednesday for entries.You can use it as is or flip, flop, rotate, change shapes....whatever works for you. We just need to be able to see the sketch in your project. Most of all....have fun!

I wasn't sure where I was going when I sat down to create with this sketch. I ended up with a somewhat monochrome look and I love how it turned out. It looks even better in person! I did end up changing the flowers to vases of flowers but otherwise stayed with the sketch. 

I started with die cutting the border pieces with our New Bordered in Beauty set and the Paper Medley DSP. There are SO many different dies in this set! The versatility of it is off the scales! You'll be seeing this set show up a lot in my projects.

After I had that part done I focused on creating the images. I pulled out several sets but decided the vases of flowers from the Pop-Up Petals set was the way to go. This is the point where I decided to stick with the two colors: Hydrangea Hue and Misty Moonlight. 

Once the images were stamped I added color with our Blends but I eft the leaves uncolored rather than bring in a green. I also painted the flowers with Wink of Stella, but as usual it doesn't show well in the photo but adds a nice sparkle. The round vase is popped up with Dimensionals to give depth to the design.

Since there is a lot of white I edged the sentiment with a Blend. I added some cute little butterflies from the New 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies pack. 

I kept the inside simple, too. A couple of sentiment and some more flowers. That's it!
