Hi there. I am popping in really quickly with two cards I made last night. I really like this first card that I made using the colors of this week's Color Throwdown 259. I used the Argyle stamp from Autumn Pattern Pieces and a sentiment from WMS Man of the Hour to make a birthday card for my dad.
In all honesty, I have to say that I don't much like this next card. I used the striped embossing technique from this week's Make it Monday 131. I almost didn't post it, but my daughter thought it looked cool, and I got to thinking that this could be the card that randomly wins, so.....here it is. I used stripes of Zing embossing powder on the balloons from Balloon Bash. I am also entering this card in this week's Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Emboss it.
Well, no time to chat today. I've got to run.
Thanks for Visiting
Stunning Joyce!! I love the argygle card, its perfect and the other one is adorable!!

ReplyDeleteJoyce I really like both cards. The argyle is perfect. Wouldn't a set of these look great? And the balloons are so fun and cheery.
ReplyDeleteI think they both are great. The argyle is perfect for the fall. The effect on your balloons is nice too....its a happy card, just what you want in a birthday card.
ReplyDeleteLove the argyle! Great colors and perfect for a masculine card! You've reminded me that I still haven't used my Autumn Patterns yet.
ReplyDeleteLove the argyle! I struggle with masculine cards and refer to them as DMC - Dreaded man card! Ha! Your card is amazing and the second is so fun!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you posted both. Your cards are fantastic. That large is so amazing and can't wait for that set to arrive in the mail. Your balloons are so much fun and believe me when a teenager says something is cool--go with it, ha ha!!
