Happy Sunday!!!
The sun is shining today but I have decided to spend some time in my craft room. I wanted to create some cards for a few challenges this week.
The first card I created for this weeks Color Throwdown Challenge #743. It was to make a card using the colors pink, lime and white.
This card was so fun to create!! I shaded my card front with two types of pink ink. I then placed the Pinkfresh Studio Daisy Chain die cut over the top.
The sentiment is from the Stylish Oval Stamp set from Spellbinders. I stamped it on white and used a circle die to cut it out. I then shaded it with pink ink. I just love how this whole card turned out!!!
I am entering this into the Color Throwdown Challenge #743 and the Happy Little Stampers-Anything Goes with Dies.
My next card I created for two challenges. I did a little distressing and used both premade elements and elements I had to create.
I used 49 & Market Countryside Collection paper and ephemera on this card.
I added some Spellbinders flowers and a sentiment from MFT. I adore this paper collection!!! I know a lot of people love to create there own papers and I do too. However, I also like using pre-made papers as well. I kind of have an addiction to pattern papers and need to stop buying them.
I am entering this into this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #586 and this round of The Card Concept 195b. I loved the fun bird images and vintage flavor of the Card Concept badge. I am hoping it is okay to link to The Card Concept as I did not use any colors from the badge!!!

My last card I originally created for LAST WEEKS Freshly Made Sketches but never photographed it in time.
I just figured I would throw it on the blog for everyone to see. Don't you hate when that happens?
The background is from an embossing folder by Honey Bee Stamps. The postage stamp die is from Kat Scrappiness, the pattern paper from 49 & Market, and the planter is from Altenew.
Yes, my sentiment is not perfect. I tried to cut it in a straight line but I couldn't do it. This was my second attempt and I figured that I didn't care and am leaving it.
I do love how this card came out other than that and think I will make a couple more cards with this design for a set.
Well that is all from me today. Thank you for stopping by. Have a fabulous night!!!

Fabulous designs! I especially love the rustic feel of the second card. Thanks for playing along with us at FMS this week.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards Nora! The first one is so pretty. I like the color peeking out of the pretty cover plate die!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great set of cards! Love each and every one of them, especially your bird card for The Card Concept :-) It is perfect for our challenge which is an inspiration challenge. You do not need to use the colors, just like your card, you were inspired by the birds. Love your vintage style, the rooster image as well as your fun sentiment. We are thrilled that you joined us and hope you can play along with us again soon!
ReplyDeleteThree totally different cards and all so lovely!! I'm really taken with the look of the pink shading behind the cover plate.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty cards, Nora! I really love your sweet images and great details. Thank you for playing with us at the HLS Die Challenge. I hope you can join us again soon.

Really cool ombre blended background for the CTD card! Thanks so much for joining us at the Color Throwdown this week!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about papers, love creating my own and also using some of the beautiful ones out there. Your entry for our challenge is a fabulous mix of elements that compliment each other beautifully. Thanks so much for joining us at The Card Concept this week. Kerry, DT
ReplyDeleteFabulous collection of cards! Your FMS card has such fabulous elements and they all work so well together! Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous collection of cards! I love your take on the 2nd pic at The Card Concept:)
ReplyDeleteHi Nora:
ReplyDeleteYour cards are absolutely lovely. To answer your question about The Card Concept, you are absolutely fine not using the colors in the inspiration photo. That's just a starting point for your own personal creativity - which you absolutely nailed. The only real rule (to be eligible to win) is that you not enter it in any other photo inspiration challenges.
We are always so excited and grateful to have you share your wonderful art with us and we hope you'll stop by again soon. Have a wonderfully blessed and creative week.
