A Couple of Challenges

Hello friends!

Today I am popping in with two cards for some challenges. I have not been able to be crafty with cards but yesterday I was able to sit down and bang out some creations. It was so fun!!

My first card is for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #544. I used the Beautiful Blooms stamps, dies and stencils, mixed with some paper by 49 and Market-Spectrum Sherbet Tidal Wave and Sherbet Strawberry Lemonade. I ADORE pattern paper and it was so fun to use on a card.  

The background die is from Birch Press Design. Below is the sketch that I used:

The flower image was a  bit big for the card so I cut it down to fit where I needed it to go.


The inks are a combination of Simon Says Stamp and Pinkfresh Studio.

For my second card I used a color combination from the Color Hues Challenge.


I used my new Monthly Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Wood Anemone stamp that I received this week!!!


I did add a bit of yellow Nuvo Drops in the center. This is NOT an actual color of a Wood Anemone but I loved how this came out. I used ink from MFT and Tim Holtz Distress Ink to ink blend the colors.


I splattered some Pumice Stone and coral ink across the card front.

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

Another Thank You

Happy Wednesday!! It is POURING outside and thundering, and I probably should NOT be posting right now but sometimes you just have to risk it.

Today I am posting a card that I created last night as a thank you for Chris' Aunt and Uncle. I used this weeks Paper Players Challenge #452 as my inspiration.


Here is the sketch:


I used CC Design's "Kitty With Chicks" stamp to honor the kittens we played with over vacation.


I colored in the image with Copic markers and used a Nuvo Shimmer Pen with Glossy Accents over the beaks and the kittens ears. I then used an MFT stamp for the sentiments.


I layered the stamped image over some pattern paper scraps. I didn't use any adhesive foam because I wanted this to go through the mail easily.

I am also going to enter this into this weeks Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #232-Anything Goes.


That is all from me today. I thank you for stopping by. Have a GREAT DAY!!!
