I've got several cards to post today. First up is a card inspired by this week's Muse #101. I was inspired by the colored card base and the stripe of white embossed stamping. I masked off a section of a red card base, and stamped a random grouping from Doodlie Do. I scored above and below the stamping and added a sentiment in the reverse color scheme.
I am also entering this as another example for this week's CASology Challenge #130 where the cue word is FRIEND. My design tip--white space can be red. I am also linking up at Uniko Studio #17 where the challenge is Love and Friendship and Less is More #207 where the theme is Friends.
I needed to replenish my stash of masculine get well cards. When I saw this card from fellow CASology teamie Hazel, a lightbulb went off in my head, and I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I started playing around with On My Couch, Polka Dot Parade (the one with the easy chair) and some new Lil Inker dies.
I am entering the first of this series at Happy Little Stampers January Sketch Challenge, and the second at Colour Me #55.
Thanks for Visiting
