Hi Friends!!! Hope you are all having a great weekend. Just popping in with a few cards for some challenges. I have been trying to get in my craft room more this year and I have been doing a good job at keeping it up. I should be cleaning it up but instead I have been playing.
The first card I created for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches #619.
I took a few liberties on this sketch, I do like how this card came out. Instead of a square shape, I used a curved arch die.
The heart border was cut on my Silhouette Machine and was in my scraps. The navy heart paper was a from a Honey Bee Stamps free paper pack that I got with an order.
I loved that I was able to use a ton of scraps for all these die cuts!!!
My second card was inspired by the Inspired By Challenge-Blue.
I LOVED the blue shutters and the mosaic tile. I also used the sketch loosely on my card.
When I saw this challenge, I knew I had to use my Granny Square Dies from Altenew and some of their old cube inks-Lapus Lazuli.
I know, I know, these Granny Squares are supposed to be knit but they screamed mosaic to me! My favorite color is blue and I had so much fun making this card.
The sentiments were from my stash and I have no clue who created them. The embossing folder is my NEW FAVORITE from Honey Bee Stamps-Burlap.
My last card I am entering into this round of The Christmas Kickstart Challenge #82-The Midas Touch.
I apologize for the photos from this card. I had such a hard time photographing it.
Most of the die cuts on this card are from The Greetery. The embossed background is from Spellbinders-Holly and Foliage Embossing Folder.
I used Tim Holtz Tarnished Brass Mica Spray on the background because it matched the antique gold paper I used on the bow and strip at the bottom.
Well that is all from me today. I have to get ready to go with my friend to a psychic show. I don't know if I really believe in it but I keep an open mind!! Have a FABULOUS night!!
