I am popping in to post a few cards I have been working on this week, as 2 of the challenges are about to end.
This first card is inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #243. I used my newest flower stamp by PTI--Forget Me Not. I am also entering this at Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes.
My next card uses the technique in Make it Monday #254 Stenciling with Texture paste. I followed the sketch at Paper Players #301 and am also entering it at Less is More where the challenge is to use a stencil.
My next card is inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #179.
And, finally, I am celebrating the 4th birthday of Addicted to Stamps and More. I was inspired by the challenge photo. I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday, without toppings this week.
This card was pretty fun to make--I started by stamping the sentiment using Lawn Fawn's Quinn's Alphabet stamps. Then I doodled and colored with Copics, adding a couple of balloons and gifts from a Clearly Besotted birthday set. I outlined everything in a grey Copic to make the images look a little 3D.
Thanks for Visiting
Fabulous cards, Joyce! I love your bold use of colour. Your Less is More card is super and what a great idea to use texture paste with a hint of colour to showcase the flowers. Thanks so much for a lovely entry!
