Happy Monday and Some Cards

Happy Monday! Just dropping by to add a couple of cards.

The first card I used two challenges as my inspiration-CASE this Sketch #310 and Just Us Girls #476-Photo Challenge.


I had fun stamping a bunch of different colored roses on my day off last week using Altenew's Vintage Rose stamp set and die cutting them using the matching dies. I decided to use a couple of the purple ones on this card.


I embossed the pattern on the white Neenah Solar White Cardstock using a Darice embossing folder.


The sentiment is from my new favorite Memory Box stamp set "Best Life Typewriter Sentiments."

Again, I am entering them into two challenges.



My second card I created for Inkspirational Challenge: Use Your Stash.


I used Sugar Pea Designs "Birthday Balloons" Stamp set and and the MFT cloud stencil for the background.


I was also going to do a color challenge but could not get the colors right.


Well, that is all from me today. I hope you have a FABULOUS day!!

  2. Gorgeous roses!! I'm not usually a fan of purples - but it totally works here - it manages to be cheerful and elegant all at once! And I love the colorful balloons floating above the clouds - the little stars are a great accent.

  4. A great twofer for us today, Nora! I'm loving your take on the purple JUGS and sketch challenges! We all should be painting our flowers purple more often! It's a prevalent color in our yard, but I rarely color my card flowers purple. Makes no sense so this is a good reminder. And I love your dotty balloons floating up in the amazing clouds sending someone birthday wishes! Hugs, Darnell
