You Make Me Smile Card

Hello Crafty Friends!!

I got home from my vacation on Tuesday after a twenty four hours of travel. My husband and I had a FABULOUS time on our Alaska cruise. We did a small cruise line with less than 750 people. This enabled us to go into smaller ports. I would recommend.

I was finally able to get into my craft room on Thursday and made some cards for some challenges. 

I created this card using the Freshly Made Sketches #745 and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge-Fabulous Florals.

I started off by dry embossing a piece of purple cardstock using the Spellbinders Intertwined Lattice embossing folder. The frame is from Sunny Studios.

I had created the lavender flowers using a die from The Greetery. I had colored the stems in using Copic Markers and insk smooshing. The sentiment is stamped and die cut using Spellbinders You Make Me Smile Sentiments.

My second card I used the Inspired By Challenge as my start off for my card, as well as the middle across from the Tic Tac Toe Challenge #297-any color, free, sentiment. 

I started off my card by dry embossing the Simon Says Stamps Blooming Wreath on a white card panel. I then used a Distress Tool around the edges. Next I took the Cadet Blue Positively Saturated Ink pad to colored in my flowers with a small blending tool.

I used the Thick and Thin Thanks Dies from Concord & 9th for the sentiment. The butterflies are Poppy Stamps Nordic Cheery Butterflies.

The flower centers are colored in using a YG 21 Copic Marker and some tiny dots of Diamond Stickles.

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