My first card today uses an older WPlus9 set called Heartfelt Mix, and I was inspired to use it for a CAS valentine by WPlus9 Throwback Thursday #11.
I am also entering this card at Addicted to CAS #80, where the challenge is RED.
I don't often manage to play along with Muse, but I had to try this week, as my friend Tracey was the Muse and she gave us this inspiring beauty to CASE.
Isn't Tracey's card just the picture of simple elegance? My card did not turn out as CAS, although I had planned it that way when I started--just couldn't stop, I guess.
I was inspired by Tracey's mats, the stitching, the green layer, and her floral focal point.
Speaking of flowers, I used Persian Motifs from Altenew as my 'something new' for Simply Create Too #101.
I used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #220 and am also entering my card at Addicted to Stamps and More #177 where the challenge is to Make Your Mark and I used Copics to color in my flowers and also to doodle a border.
Now, how about a few pandas? I've got two dancing pandas to wish a special little boy a happy birthday.
I am linking this card up at The Male Room #27: Young Ones Babies & Little Boys, Simon Says Wednesday Create with Critters, and Seize the Birthday Clean and Simple.
And, last of all, some more birthday pandas...again entered at Simon Says Wednesday Create with Critters, and Seize the Birthday Clean and Simple.
Thanks for Visiting
