Double Challenge Card

Happy Monday! It's a hot one here where I am, so a few minutes sitting in the air conditioning blogging a card doesn't seem too bad an idea. ;) I needed an anniversary card, and managed to slip a couple of challenges into the making of it. And managed to make my first slimline card for a long time, too! 



I had already decided I wanted to stencil some hearts on my card - and then saw the Just Us Girls Challenge was looking for rainbows, so why not! And my stencilled hearts looked even better after I traced around them with a Sharpie pen, as this month's CAS Mix Up suggested we try. I was also reminded of my historic youth, when we actually used cardboard letter stencils to trace titles for school projects... I had trouble tracing perfectly then, I have trouble tracing perfectly now. :D After I traced, I continued to leave the stencil on and gave the hearts a generous spray with sparkle mist. I cut a little piece out of the stencilled panel - I didn't want the two cut layers to still match exactly, but I also needed as much length as possible. The sentiment is heat embossed with sparkle embossing powder. Finally, some gems and sequins, possibly with one covering a pen slip. :D 


And now the outdoors is calling to me again. Have a great day! 


Edited to add: I realize I left out an applicable challenge! (And don't want to change my post title...) I'm also adding this to the current CAS(E) This Sketch challenge - I took a number of liberties with the sketch, but hope it's still acceptable. 


Supplies: Neenah white cardstock, The Ink Road Modern Romance stamp, Versafine onyx black & picked raspberry, barn door, carved pumpkin, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron, blueprint sketch, shaded lilac & wilted violet distress ink, Hero Arts sparkle embossing powder, Sharpie pen, Tsukineko clear sparkle shimmer mist, Studio Katia iridescent hearts, Pretty Pink Posh sparkling clear sequins
