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!!

These are fantastic Nora! Your purple roses are gorgeous and I like your stenciled sky behind the balloons!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous 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.
ReplyDeleteNora your colors and designs are amazing.
ReplyDeleteHugs Diane
Beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteA 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
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards Nora! Your purple is delish! Your balloon card has just the right amount of pop and dimension to exact a lovely scene. Those clouds are amazing! Thank you for linking up your work at INk~
