Happy Saturday! I ordered the new Funky Feather stamps from Waltzingmouse, and I could not wait to ink them up. I used colors from this week's ColourQ cQc #196 to stamp a pattern inspired by these cards on the WMS blog post. I've been gradually increasing my stash of SU inks and papers, and was so excited to find that I actually had all of these colors to play with. The sentiment is from Casual Fridays Bold Wishes.
My next card is for this week's Muse 24 challenge, where we had this amazing card from Laurie Willison to case. It took me a while to figure out what to do, as I honestly just wanted to replicate her card exactly. I ended up using the same sketch, color scheme and impression plate, and used circles stamped on text paper as a nod to Laurie's inspiration card. The stamped circles are from Sketched Shapes, and the sentiment is from Avery Elle. The card front is embossed with the Woodgrain IP, but it is hard to see in this photo.
I am continuing to work my way through my favorite Hero Arts stamps for the A Blog Named Hero Playing Favorites challenge. This card uses To/From Petals, one of my favorite flower stamps. I did lots of masking to make this a one layer card, and I will be entering it into the Hero Arts One Layer Card Challenge.
My last card for today is for this week's Dynamic Duos DD#60 challenge of Bright Yellow and Bright Green.
And, if you were wondering....my daughter returned home last night from Virginia--safe, sound and exhausted. As I had hoped, she had a wonderful time, and was way to busy to miss any of us back home.
I am also linking this post up to Stacey's Birthday Linky Party, as there are lots of birthday cards here for the party.

ReplyDeleteFour gorgeous cards Joyce!! Your new WM feathers are so much fun. Thank you so much for sharing with us this week at Dynamic Duos!
ReplyDeleteI have been waiting to see what you could do with those feathers Joyce...I was not disappointed! LOVE this...the colors are fabulous and so neat that you have all the SU colors now...I am always having to guess which of my inks are the closest. Your take on Laurie's card is really good with all those green circles and I really like all the masking you did with those To/From petals. Sounds like it was a very productive and fun day for you. So glad your daughter is home...darn those kids, they never miss us as much as we miss them!
ReplyDeleteAnother productive day! I love your take on this week's Muse - all the elements, but in a different way than Laurie's! And your masking is very precise and clean! Thanks for playing with Muse and A Blog Named Hero this week!
ReplyDeleteThese are all great. I love your feathers on the first card and those stamps on your Hero Arts card are amazing. Such a treat to come to your blog and see all the wonderful cards you've made to share with us.
ReplyDeleteLove those gorgeous sunflowers Joyce! So glad you joined us at Dynamic Duos!
ReplyDeleteThese arr all beautiful cards! I think we both used the same cardstock fornour cards. I like the idea you had to stamp on text.
ReplyDeleteThey're all fabulous but I think you know I have special affinity for those feathers!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd they look great in those colors too!
Love the feather stamp & the angles on that card and your Muse card is perfect - always love the woodgrain and text paper!
ReplyDeleteWell done Joyce. Your mojo is in full swing! Love that second card. Perfect dot placement and stamping
ReplyDeleteThese are all sooo stunning, Joyce. I love the feathers, they're fantastic, and your stamping's awesome. Thanks for the link to WMS ... my wish list just grew, again ... oh good! The sketchy circles on the print background are really cool (on the wish list already), the HA flowers are a delight and the background to the sunflowers is gorgeous! Happy to hear your daughter's home safe and sound! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteAll winning cards here Joyce! OMGosh that first one is amazing and a sure winner !!!!! I thought for sure I was going to get Funky Feather then at the last minute got Fancy Feathers. Glad you daughter is home safe and had too much fun to miss you!
ReplyDeleteOh, I really like your cards, Joyce, especially the first one! I debated on getting both the Funky & the Fancy Feathers, but in the end just got the Fancy ones. I can't wait to get them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Joyce! I love your take on the Muse card - the circles in varying greens was a fantastic idea!
ReplyDeletewonderful cards with your style written all over them.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, love your use of colour & fabulous stamping :)
ReplyDeleteGlad your DD is home safe and had a great time, Joyce! Once again, you have regaled us with the most delightful cards possible!! The feather set rocks and I'm in love with what you did for the MUSE challenge!!
ReplyDeleteAll are fabulous, Joyce! Of course, I LOVE the feathers. I really debated about which feather set to get but decided on Fine Feathers. Just might have to get the other sometime in the future. Love how you placed them at an angle!
ReplyDeleteLove those feathers, Joyce, your card is lovely! Thanks for playing with us at the colourQ this week.
ReplyDeleteI found my way from the Muse challenge but had no idea the delight I would find in ALL your cards. The polka dots on book page paper is a great idea. I also love the amazing masking you did on the Hero Arts card. I haven't see that stamp set. It is awesome with lots of potential (as you have beautifully shown).
ReplyDeleteYou have been a busy bee! Love ALL of your cards ( as always I am a FAN!) The Dynamic Duos is just lovely!
