Three Cards for Saturday

I absolutely loved this week's Muse #34 inspiration card, from Therese Calvird.  I was tempted to use some of my many house stamps or dies, but there were so many incredible cards already out there, I felt like all the good house ideas were taken.  So, I went a different route, and was inspired by the fact that the houses were little wooden pieces--and I used some little wooden birds that I have been hoarding for quite some time.  I stuck with the basic layout of the Muse card.  The heart is three layers of the stitched heart from Lil Inkers Of the Heart dies, and they are separated by dimensional adhesive dots.

Both Simon Says Monday and Simon Says Wednesday challenges are embossing, so I will be entering this card in both of those challenges as well.

 

 

Edited to add:  I am linking this to the Metal, Wood, & Cork Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

My next card uses the colors of this week's Dynamic Duos #70 and follows the sketch at Clean and Simple Stamping #258.  I paper pieced two of the flowers from Verve Great Friend and added some Ranger Black Enamel Accents to the centers.

My last card uses the colors from this week's ColourQ cQc #206 and the sketch from this week's Freshly Made Sketches #103.  I had given up on this week's ColourQ colors, and pulled out a stamp for something else, when it dawned on me just what I should do for this challenge.  I used one of my earliest wooden stamp purchases--Hero Arts Birthday Gift--I think it is supposed to be a birthday cake made out of presents--and stamped all the layers with the ColourQ colors, and then paper pieced it back together.  The piece at the bottom is Rich Razzleberry stamped in Versamark with WMS Off Beat Backgrounds, and embossed with clear EP.  I used some little rhinestones and stickles to decorate the different layers of the Birthday tower.

Both Simon Says Monday and Simon Says Wednesday challenges are embossing, so I will be entering this card in both of those challenges as well.
