Hey Friends!!
Just popping in with a few cards I created for some challenges. I have been busy this weekend playing in my craft room. I am trying to use a mix of my old and new supplies. I was supposed to be on a buy nothing challenge with myself but I blew that already. Hopefully I will do better.
My first two cards I created using two challenges as my inspiration. I used the Color Hues Challenge for my colors and one of the pillows from the Inspired By... Challenge for my design.
This is my first card that I created. I had a lot of fun using a star embossing folder by Simon Says Stamp, a die by Paper Rose (stars) and a sentiment from Waffle Flower.
I loved that I had some old Zing Embossing Powder that matched the lime in my cardstock exactly!!! The inspirations badges for both challenges are below.
For my second card, I did the same design as the first but I flipped the colors.
The stamps are a mix from Stampers Anonymous. The sentiment is from MFT Stamps.
I used an old kit from Simon Says Stamp for all the products on this card. The circle die in an old one from Reverse Confetti. Instead of papers flipped on the side behind the circle, I used leaf ephemera.
The ephemera is from Tim Holtz. The paper was in the kit and I am not sure who made it. The sentiments were from my stash.
I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink and ink blended around the edges of everything.
Well, that is all that I have today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS night!!

What bold CAS cards you've created with the navy and lime challege! I love those stitched stars and the subtle stars created with the embossing folder make a great background. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great direction to go with our bold colors. I love both of your star cards, Nora! As for your floral card...Everything blends so well together. Love the richness of the flowers. Thanks for playing at Color Hues.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Nora - love these floral ephemeras! Such a great idea to sue the leaves for the background pieces, too - I love it! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
ReplyDeleteNora, you were definitely a busy crafter this weekend, making three fabulous cards! The vintage look of the 3rd one is so pretty with all the ephemera, and I really like both of the cards you made with our CH colors too! I'm especially smitten with the one with the lime green background - that collage design looks stellar with the big star! Thanks so much for playing along with us, we always appreciate seeing your card in the gallery!
ReplyDeleteI love both versions of your birthday cards Nora! They are both so bright and vibrant and dramatic and sure to put the recipients in a celebratory mood! Thanks so much for sharing both of these beauties with us at Color Hues. Marcia (DT) :0)
ReplyDeleteNora, love the cards you have crafted! Thank you for joining us at the Inspired By :) !!! Hope to see you soon again!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous use of the colors!! I love it both ways - and I love them both with the stars and with the grunge in the background!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! That barnwood background is fantastic!! So glad you joined the fun and played along with our "flying through" sketch over at Sunday Stamps...I love that you used leaves for the "flying through" portion of our sketch!!

Oh, how pretty the flower card is! All the elements work really well with the skethc. Thanks for playing over at Sunday Stamps.
ReplyDeleteA trio of wonderful cards! I'm especially smitten with your navy and lime green versions; they're eye-catching, bold and all-around striking! Thrilled you shared these in the Coloru Hues gallery.
