Cards for a Couple of Challenges

Happy Sunday crafty friends!! I cannot believe today is the last day of July!! This summer has gone by so fast-too fast!!! When you work in a school, the first day of August is not a date you look forward to. It goes all downhill from there!! Not really!!

Today I am popping in with some cards I created for some challenges. I actually had some inspiration this week and wanted to use some of the new supplies I have bought this month.

My first card is clean and simple. I am entering this into Addicted to Stamps-Any Occasion challenge. 

I used Pinkfresh Studio's Beautiful Blooms stamps, dies and stencils for this card. 

The background die is from Birch Press Design. I actually had to cut it down because it die cut wonky when I ran it through my die cut machine. I should have used a new piece of tape!!!

My second card was inspired by the sketch at Sunday Stamps. 

I used products from 49 and Market Spectrum Sherbet Tidal Wave collection. 

The sentiment is from Pinkfresh Studio's Rainbow Sentiments.

I used Waffleflower Crafts A2 Layer Dies to die cut out all my panels of pattern paper. I used Pumice Stone Distress Ink along the edges and then distressed them.

I am also entering this card into The Paper Players Challenge-PP602. It is a Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge and I used the middle row-die cut, blue and pattern paper.

This card was a bit out of the box for me but I LOVE how it came out!!!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Reminder for #548

Hey friends!! Happy Monday!!

Today I am just popping in with a reminder for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #548. 

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #548 is a color challenge. It is to use poppy, rose or olive on a card.

I used a ton of Spellbinders flowers on my card from the Mini Blooms and Sprigs Die Set. The background die is from Pinkfresh Studio.

I actually thought this challenge was going to be harder than it was. I do not use these color regularly but it was a lot easier than I thought. These tiny blooms were so fun to use.

Do you want to join the challenge? Head on over to Cupcake Inspiration Challenges to enter!!! I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

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!!
