One of my goals for 2017 was to create more for fun, and today I am happy to share 2 cards I made for some fun challenges.
First up is a card using a brand new stamp from PTI--Splits With Love. I was inspired by the colors at Color Throw Down #424.
I am also entering this card at Simon Says Monday Start Afresh and Simon Says Wednesday New Something.
And, I am squeaking in at the last moment with a card for CAS(E) This Sketch #202. I used three sizes of the flower image from Verve Poppy Birthday and the Rose Petal collection of ombre inks from Altenew.
Thanks for Visiting
great way to start the New Year-getting to craft for fun. I love the CAS design of your first card with the lovely texture background. And fab ombre stamping for the second card x
ReplyDeleteThat's my plan too! Actually just want to craft more-period! But I do so much better when it's just for fun. I loved the time I spent before Christmas, just playing with new supplies! Love today's cards!
ReplyDeleteOff to a good start with your crafty goal! Love the embossing on the first card and those ombre flowers on the second card are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI like that plan of yours and want to do that too! No deadlines, just some for fun card!! Yours are wonderful Joyce!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Joyce...love your first one, those circle flowers are just so pretty in pink and your design is fabulous. Your second card is amazing, love how both your stamped images and sentiment have the ombre look.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards, Joyce. The ombre flowers fit the sketch perfectly and I love the split flowers on the first card.
ReplyDeleteJoyce love both these cards. Arent these flower stamps stunning, the outline with the split sentliment and the filled in with them getting smaller and lighter yumm love them and the sentiment. Clever you.

Joyce I love them both, and notice a bit of impression [you know I can't resist] impression plates? or embossing folders? xx
