new sketch adventures

I was looking for a stamp to make a non-specific background, but I saw this stamp and went in another direction entirely, when the stamp said (I swear it was aloud) "Perfect for the new Atlantic Hearts sketch!"
stamp sets - Timeless Textures,  Dare to Dream (hostess); ink - Pumpkin Pie; card stock - So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie; Big Shot with Sunshine Wishes thinlits

I've been trying to remember to make a baby card for Card Buffet, and I had this set on the counter while I thought about it.  After I saw the new Freshly Made sketch yesterday, it came together effortlessly:
stamp set - Bookshelf Builder; ink - Peekaboo Peach, Marina Mist, Sweet Sugarplum, So Saffron; card stock - So Saffron, Peekaboo Peach

It's too bad I don't know anyone having a baby - I love this card, and it was a lot of fun to make!

I love the way you stamped the striped background from the sketch! So clever and pretty...and sunshine is a great sentiment for right now. Wish we had more. :) So glad you could join us at AHSC this week.

These are both great cards, Kathe! I love the colors on both, and your stamped "background" stamps are a fun take on the sketch. Thanks for sharing with us this week at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
