Happy Monday. I've got 3 cards to share today, so I will just get right to it. First up is my favorite of the bunch.
I pulled out some flower stamps that have not seen ink in a while and did one of my favorite things--just stamped an entire card front in a sort of random pattern. I used the colors from Color Throwdown #334, and the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch #261. That pink ink--Little Piggy from WPlus9, is NBUS, so I am entering this card at Darnell's latest NBUS challenge. By the way, this is now my new favorite pink ink color. I ran the entire top panel of my card through with the Hexagon Cover plate used as an impression plate just for a little quilted texture.
My next card is my 2nd entry this week using the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #115. I used SU Stippled Blossoms and watercolored the blooms a little bit. That crooked border is hand drawn, and I meant it to be crooked (LOL).
I am also entering this card at AAA Cards #35: Bare naked CAS.
Last for today is a card shaped like a giant cupcake--inspired by the photo at The Card Concept #31. I think this might go in the Clean and Layered category. I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps, where the theme is Anything Goes and Seize the Birthday, without toppings.
That's it for me today. Come back tomorrow for a new CASology challenge.
Thanks for Visiting
