Some Challenge Cards

Hey Crafty Friends!!

Just popping in with some cards that I created for some challenges. I will not be able to create anything due to my schedule for the next couple of weeks so I have been trying to craft as much as possible!!!


I am entering this into this weeks JUGS Challenge. It is a stencil week this week and I used the Spellbinder's Petalburst Stencils as my background. 


The border was cut with a die from Simon Says Stamp! and my butterfly is from the Nordic Cheery Butterflies from Poppy Stamps.


The leaves that are on my card are Pinkfresh Studio's Curvy Leaves-some of my favorite leaves ever!!! The thank you sentiment is from Altenew's Craft Your Life Project Kit-Arched Foliage.

I am entering this in the Just Us Girls Challenge #829-Stencil Week and If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #217-June In the Garden.

 

My next card I created for a friend. This card was inspired by this week's The Paper Player Challenge #792.


I dug out some 49 & Market paper, the SSS With Sympathy stamp/die set and the Mini Bloom and Sprigs die from Spellbinders.


I LOVE how this card came out. The little tickets are from the 49 & Market paper pack. 


I even used the pattern paper to die cut the flowers and leaves.


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

Nora... besides the fact that I love aqua and teal together... the added white gel accents are a perfect addition and make this card an absolute standout! Thanks for sharing this beauty with Just Us Girls.

Wow! Your stenciled card is amazing Nora! I don't believe I've seen that stencil before. Love the teal color palette, too!

What a wonderful sympathy card! The softness of the colours and the hints of distressing fit the mood well. Lovely clustering of elements draws the eye to that touching sentiment. Thank you for joining in with us at The Paper Players.

Your stencilled flower card is stunning Nora. I really like the design and your colour combo is beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us over at Just Us Girls challenge. Hugs, Denise x

Both cards are stunning (I always love your stuff) but the second one really sent me over the edge! I love the vintage feel and the color is so fresh and pretty! Gorgeous little embellishments too and what a sweet sentiment! Thanks for using our sketch this week at the Paper Players!

What a phenomenal sentiment and so true. I love the soft green with the touches of black. The distressed background is the perfect backdrop to that wonderful focal element you have created. So glad you shared this with us at the Paper Players this week
