Hello and happy Monday. I am posting a few cards I made just for fun. I recently got a new cover plate--In the Woods, and paired it with the Tinsel & Tags House Additions mini set. I cut In the Woods out of vellum, and colored the back with a Copic marker.
I saw this next design a few times during the PTI release. I did not buy the PTI set with the beach chairs because I already had these chair dies from Impression Obsession. I am trying just a teeny bit harder to see what I can do with what I already have, instead of buying so much new stuff. We'll see how it goes, but so far, so good.
I cased this card by Laura Bassen during the last PTI release. She used Block Party, but I thought I could do something similar with Sketched Shapes. I used a rainbow color scheme of Pure Poppy, Orange Zest, Harvest Gold, Limeade Ice and Spring Rain.
I made another version with the focal point in the lower corner.
I was inspired by this fun photo and all the cards in the Inkspirational Challenge #72 gallery to make my last card. I used fireworks from Waltzingmouse USA 1776, the skyline from Altenew Sketchy Cities, and some Distress Inks to make my card.
That's it for me. Please come back tomorrow to see my December 12 Kits of Occasion Post.
Thanks for Visiting

ReplyDeleteLove all these cards. You did an awesome job with the vellum and copic markers. Love the rainbow cards too.

ReplyDeleteSo many great cards in one post! I don't even know where to start. I love the cityscape with the fireworks. The card with the vines and the reclining chairs is so relaxing. I wish I were there right now! I like the simplicity of the birthday cards. They are so colorful for being CAS. Love 'em all!
