A Couple More Cards for Some Challenges

Hey friends!!!

Just popping in with some cards I created for some challenges. Both cards are get well cards as my friend asked me to create one for her and I always try to give a choice.

My first card I created was inspired by this week's Freshly Made Sketches #600!! I try to play along most weeks but I don't always have time to upload. I wanted to make sure that I did today!! I also used this weeks Color Throwdown #757 as the color choices for my card.


I used Alex Siberia Designs Fantasy Flowers Die Set too die cut my aqua flowers. I added some white greenery from Altenew's Branches and Berries Die Set.


The sentiment is from Memory Box's Best Life Typewriter Sentiments.


Below are the badges that inspired these cards.

Color Throwdown

The second card that I created was inspired by the Less is More #490 and the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #518.



I started off by using a crackled dry embossing folder on the background of my card.


I then used the Postage Dies from Waffle Flower Crafts with some random stencils to shade in the stamp centers.


I added a die cut from Altenew's Branches and Berries Die Set that I had colored in with Copic Markers.


The last thing I did was to add a sentiment from a Mama Elephant stamp set.

Well, that is all from me today. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a fabulous Sunday!
