Have been playing this week in my craft room. I stamped a BUNCH of images from some sets by The Greetery and some backgrounds using Pinkfresh Studios Pop Out Stamps to create two cards for some challenges.
For my first card, I used two challenges as inspiration for my card.
I used the sketch from Fab Friday #195 and Watercooler Wednesdays #282 Anything Goes Challenge.
I created the striped background paper and had fun layering my flowers in The Greetery watering can.
As I was creating this card, I was thinking of "styles" of cards and trying to figure out if I had a set style. I don't think I really do. I like all types of stamps-critters, flowers, solid stamps, line stamps-and adore any kind of paper-colored cardstock, white, pattern paper. I think if I had to pick any kind of "style" that I have is that I layer things. One layer cards are too hard to make because I always mess them up!!
I actually was not sure I was going to even like this card when it was done because of the bold background. However, it has grown on me.
My second card was inspired by my first, no challenges. Instead of the watering can, I used a mason jar for my flowers.
The frame was die cut with a Reverse Confetti die and was hanging around on my desk so I decided to layer it over the background I created.
The sentiment tag and sentiment is from Mama Elephant. I just LOVE tiny tags!!
I used a little too much Aqua Clear Shimmer on the flowers. It was a new pen and it kind of globbed out!! You can see it in the photos more than IRL.
Well, that is all from me today. I hope you all have a great night!!

Lovely pair of cards Nora. I do like that bold striped background behind you watering can. Lovely choice of colours. Thanks for joining us this week at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge. Tristan DT.
Two wonderful summer cards Nora! I haven't seen anyone ink the watering can in green, I LIKE it!!
Beautiful colors on your cards and I love the striped background. Those greens are perfect for summer. The big panel in our sketch is perfect for the watering can and flowers! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
