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. 

Instead of a square card, I created a rectangle card. I used two different stencils on my background, as well as some ink smooshing. I used the diagonal starting from the top left of the TTTC card-Leaves, Free and Die Cuts.

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!!
