I've been playing around with my new Big Hugs stamp set and came up with a couple of cards. I am entering this first card at Colour Me One because I used Colour Scheme #31 and Virginia's View Challenge #11: Clean Slate because of all the white space. I used Background Basics Super Stripes to create the plaid in my upper corner, and the Camouflage Die technique with my Hugs die.
I was just playing around with my Distress Inks and CASED this card from Laura Bassen.
My last card is for this week's Inkspirational Challenge #73: Note. I used NBUS--SU Holiday Home on this card, so I am entering over at Darnell's NBUS Challenge #3. Lots of fussy cutting on this card, and I did all the coloring with Inktense Pencils (without water). Not too sure about this card--my little village might be just a tad too busy.
That's it for me today. Sort of guiltily looking forward to tomorrow when school starts back up...
Thanks for Visiting
Hi Joyce, just popped over from NBUS#3. Love your fun colourful village. It's got character. Definitely not too busy. Like the hugs cards as well. I agree, you can't ever have enough. Hugz

ReplyDeleteGorgeous set of cards. I just love that camouflage die technique. Pretty plaid stamping.
ReplyDeleteWow! These are just fantastic, Joyce. Creating that plaid just boggles my mind - it's not something I have the knack for, but you most certainly do!! Love those camo looks. Must try them one of these days! The little houses are so sweet, and it looks like a little village to me. Great trio. Bev
