Today I needed to make my nephew a birthday card QUICK! I have to get it in the mail tomorrow if I want him to get it on time. I always keep blog challenges handy so that I can use them for a jumping off point in creating cards, especially when I need something in a hurry. Today I decided to use the sketch challenge from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog. I am using the current sketch #91. Here is the link: http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.com/2015/01/sketch-91.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AtlanticHeartsSketchChallenge+%28Atlantic+Hearts+Sketch+Challenge+%29
Here is my take on the sketch. I kept it pretty literal for time's sake.
I also wanted to use the current stamp of the month from CTMH which is "This Moment". The real challenge was to try and make a masculine card out of a mainly Valentine themed stamp set. I think I did okay with it. The "happy birthday" stamp is from the CTMH stamp set called "Holiday Tags Occasions". I also wanted to use the new paper pack from CTMH called "Heartstrings" which is also very Valentine's Day themed. I think it turned out masculine enough. I used the matching CTMH inks in slate, lagoon and cranberry. I distressed all the edges with a brown ink, too. Thanks for stopping by.

Love this! I'm forwarding the link to my CTMH consultant so she can case it for one of our classes! TFS
Great card - very clever take on the sketch and Jan SOTM.
I love your use of the arrow...I struggle with masculine cards.
Very cool! Love that you used the arrow for the border...
I love how you used the arrows and the fun brightness of your card. TFS
Fantastic take on the sketch! What a great masculine card. Thanks for playing along at AHSC!
Oh I love your take on this week's sketch! Love the arrows - how fun! Thanks for joining us at AHSC! Jess -DT
I love the use of the arrows down the side, what a unique take on the sketch. I would have never thought of Heartstrings as a go to for a masculine card but you did amazing with it, I have to rethink my Heartstrings from here on out. Thanks for playing along with AHSC!
