Hello friends!!!
I have not been posting lately but I have been creating. I haven't been in the mood to blog as of late as the state of the world is just so depressing to me.
That said, I am popping in with some cards for some challenges. My first card I created using the Freshly Made Sketches #706 and this week's Just Add Ink #772, which is a color challenge, as inspiration. Am I the only weird one that goes back and looks at old sketches when I need an idea?
I used Prima Marketing "Bewitched" Paper Pad, chipboard stickers and Ephemera for this card. The moon was created with Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Moon Mask stencil.
Below are the badges I used for my inspiration. The colors that inspired me from the Just Add Ink are the purple, brown, gray and the orange leaves on the broom.
I think these die cuts are so much fun and the pattern paper needs nothing, though I did distress the edges of all the paper on my card.
I always feel funny when I make Halloween cards because I do not usually send them out. It isn't a holiday that most people I know celebrate!!
My next card I created I used three challenges as my inspiration- Freshly Made Sketches #709, Just Us Girls Challenge #798 and the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #282.

I used the Beautiful Branch die from Simon Says Stamp for my flower. I used the leaves as my "banner" and the sentiment as the rectangle in the sketch.
Like I stated above, I ink smooshed, then used TWO stencils on my background-a polka dot and the Grime Stencil from Tim Holtz. I then ran the white panel through my Platinum with the Honey Bee Burlap Embossing Folder-my absolute FAVORITE!!! The sentiment is from Waffle Flower Crafts.
My last card for today I used the Festive Friday #196 info list as my inspiration for my card.
I chose to use red, poppies and paper piecing for my card.
As I look at this, I am not even sure that these are poppies!! However I think they look like them!
This is such a simple card but I LOVE how the flowers came out!!!
Well, that is all from me today. I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

ReplyDeleteWonderful array of cards, Nora. The soft stenciling on the card for our challenge looks fabulous with the burlap embossing. It keeps it from clashing with the focal image. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Us Girls.
