Quick Post With Some NEW Cards

Hey friends!!  

I am just popping in with some new cards. The beauty of having summers off is that I actually get a lot of time in my craft room!!!

My first card is to enter Freshly Made Sketches #591-and I am telling you that it is a stretch but it is MY TAKE on the sketch-and it is not an exact interpretation.

Below is the sketch:

See what I mean about the "interpretation" part? I have playing around with products that I have cut, colored, die cut, stamped etc over the past months but never used in a card. This is one of  the cards I made for a set using Pinkfresh Studio Arch Floral Stamps and matching Dies. 

The "frame" is also a PinkFresh Studio stamp-Around The Shape Arches, paired with Floral Grid and Nested Arch Dies.

Last but not least, the bird is from Lawn Fawn's Magic Iris Bird House Add On. The pattern paper is from an old Recollections Paper Pad that I have had forever.

My next card is a day late and a dollar short. I created it for Tuesday Morning Sketches #712. 

Again, I went a little overboard with this sketch. 

The flowers are from Pinkfresh Studio's Arch Floral Stamps and Dies, the sentiment is from Spellbinders, as is the embossing folder.

I used Copic Markers to shade in my leaves. The doily and tiny envelope are from my stash.

 Again, this is one of a set I created for my friend. 

Well, that is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS Monday!!

A New Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!!

Hey Friends!! It is time for a NEW Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. Challenge #572 is a COLOR challenge. Can you guess what ones from my card????

The green is an extra color but Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #972 is all about using RED, WHITE, and BLUE on a card!!!

Okay, okay, I probably should have stuck to the badge but I really am not a fan of using only red, white and blue on a card. 

I don't send out patriotic cards for holidays so I went with coloring in my tulips red, the background blue and using white/red elements on my card. 

The tulips stamp is a background from Simon Says Stamp! The border was in my stash so I am not sure of the company. The sentiment is from  Pink Fresh Studio and the rick rack is a die from MFT Stamps.

For more information and to see the addition of some NEW members of the Design Team, hop on over to Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. I cannot wait to see what you create!!

That is all from me today. Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!
