Get Well and Birthday Cards


I have a quick post for today with 3 cards for various challenges.

My first card is inspired by this gorgeous card by Laura Bassen, and I am entering it into a new PTI challenge Create Along with Us, which is a way to create something inspired by the release count down projects.

Laura's Card



I used the same design as Laura, substituting Meadow Green stamps for her Vintage Linen flowers. I used a frame made from Shakers and Sprinkles dies and a sentiment from Asian Fusion.  I am also entering this card at Time Out #35: Nature with the option of animals.




I am entering this next card at Just Us Girls #301 where the challenge is Gold.  I stamped the dotty image from Good Times twice in Delicata Gold, and then covered the part where they overlap with a die cut sentiment word, celebrate.  Then, I stamped It's Your Birthday in Memento Luxe ink, so it would sit right on top of the gold stamping.



My last card for today is inspired by this photo at A Blog Named Hero.



I stamped and clear embossed Hero Arts Zig Zag Background and then sponged each section with a different color of the rainbow using Distress Inks.  My sentiment is from Hero Arts Chalkboard Birthday, and I stamped it in black on a scrap piece, cut it out, and popped it up with foam tape.  I am also entering this card at CAS-ual Fridays #141: Embossing.



I am also entering these cards at Simon Says Monday Anything Goes challenge.



Thanks for Visiting
