Mid Week Update...4 Cards



Yay for crafting time during the week.  I played along with MUSE #187 because I fell in love with Tracey's inspiration card.



I was inspired by Tracey's free form floral stamping, placement of her sentiment and her colors.  I broke out my newest inks for this card--a couple of little Altenew cubes.  Have to say that I love the ink, and will be getting some more next time there is another sale.  I used Fall Floral stamps from MFT.  I am also entering this card at The Flower Challenge #1.




Sneaking in under the wire at CAS(E) this Sketch #193.  I kept pretty true to the sketch, and used blended distress inks.



Inspired by this card by Nicole, I have a card for PTI's Create Along with Us. I used Copics to color, and added a little gold pen to match the gold embossed sentiment.



Last up is a holiday card using Winter Village that I am entering at Merry Monday #217: Retro/Vintage.  I am also entering this card at Simon Says Monday Challenge: Explore the World.  As I live in sunny San Diego right near the beach, my snowy scene is inspired by the adventure my oldest daughter will have this winter at college in Maine.





Thanks for Visiting
