An Encouragement Card and Thanks Card for Some Challenges

Hey Friends!!!

I am just popping in with two cards that I created using some challenges as inspiration.

My first card I used The Paper Players #774 Sketch that is on the blog this week as my inspiration. 

I dug out my coveted Basic Grey paper for this card. I die cut the flowers using the Fresh Picked Anemones from Spellbinders. 

The sentiment is from Kristina Werner for Concord & 9th Everything Will Be Okay Stamp/Die set.

I LOVE how this card came out. The inspiration sketch is below:

For my second card, I used the colors from the Color Hues Challenge Badge #TCH127.

I dug out the Friendship Leafy Cluster set from Simon Says Stamp! for the leaves and the sentiment.

I did a bit of ink blending with Ocean Breeze and Aquamarine dye ink from Pinkfresh as my teal color on the leaves. The peach on the leaves and the background is from Peachy Keen by Altenew.

I used the Altenew Arched Foliage embossing folder on white cardstock for the background. I cut a strip of peach at the top.

I finished the card off with some sequins that was in an old Spellbinders Advent Calendar. I was so bad at opening them when I bought them and completed opening THREE this weekend!

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