Happy Birthday, Hello, and Happy Anniversary



TGIF--this week has felt like the longest week ever.  I am very happy that the weekend is almost upon us.  I have a quick post to share three cards.

I used a Mat Stack #1 die cut to mask off an area on the front of this one layer card, and then stamped a background using PTI Beautiful Brushstrokes.  My sentiment is from Graceful Greetings.  Love that feminine font.

I am entering this card at Seize the Birthday, where the toppings challenge is to make your own background.



I used the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #121 for inspiration on this next card and used those Altenew Painted Butterflies I still had out from these cards.



I am also entering this card at Simon Says Monday Anything Goes.


My last card uses the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #184.  I just flipped and rotated the sketch.


I am also entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes.




Thanks for Visiting

  16. Fabulous cards, Joyce! I love the first card and how you made it a one layer! I've been so tempted to get those butterflies (from the second card) -- I love how you used them! Wonderful take on the sketch! And I love those flowers with the woodgrain for the third card!

  17. Love your cards, Joyce. I say that every week but it's true. That aqua tag with the butterfiles really stands out and your brushstroke flowers are wonderful but my favorite has to be the daisies with the woodgrain.
