Weekend Recap



Hello there.  I'm here to post a couple of cards I've made recently.

First up is a little floral number inspired by both this card by Kay Miller during the recent PTI release as well as the photo from Fusion's 2nd Anniversary Challenge.

Kay's Card

My Card

From Fusion, I was inspired by the flowers, the colors and the yellow chevrons.  From Kay's card, I was inspired by her overall card design as well as the little copic dots she used on her card.  My dots were not as subtle as Kay's but I do think I shared her fear as I also added my dots after the card was otherwise complete.



I am also entering this card at PTI Create Along with Us,  Curtain Call, where the challenge is 'Girly' and Just Add Ink #294:  Add Something New (One Big Happy stamps and dies are new on this card).




My dear friend Jeanne sent me a very fun die for Christmas, and I have used it here on this card that I plan to enter at The Male Room #26: Anything Goes and Seize the Birthday where the topping is Clean and Simple.



Inkspirational is celebrating their 100th challenge with a Colour Blast from the past.  I used color scheme #87--Anything Goes with Kraft.








My last card uses 2 new dies--a tag die from Reverse Confetti and the Boxed Up Thanks from Lil Inker.  I used a piece of ombre paper from a big pad I bought at Michaels for the tag as well as the background.


I just realized that there is no stamping on this card.  I need to remember this if I ever see a 'no stamping' challenge.


I am entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Ombre challenge and Addicted to Stamps and More #176 Anything Goes.




Thanks for Visiting

  9. Great array of cards! Love your colorscheme for the flowers better (not to bright but lovely sunny!). The stars make a perfect CAS-card (less on it would be too little) and the die is a fun one! Hope you have a fun and colourfull week!

  12. Looks like you had some fun crafty time. I adore your Fusion card, love how you have subtly built up the flowers and the comic dots look great. Really like that star die and love the moment you have created here. You have rocked this tag die. I try to add tags to cards but with no real luck! Thanks for joining Fusion and Ink. Hope you have a fun week x

  27. Love those "happy" flowers. I haven't inked up that set yet. The stars are so much fun with their outline stitching and I don't know how you got the die and tag the exact same size. Great look.
