Finally Crafting Again



I'm back from my travels and my nest is only half full, so I had a chance to play around in my craft room this weekend.

First up is a card inspired by this adorable card by Kim over at MUSE #250.

Kim's Inspiration Card


I was inspired by all the cute colored images, the die cut windows, and the sponging inside the windows.  I used MFT/EH Good Friends stamps and fussy cut (forgot I ordered the dies, too), and colored with Copics.




I am also entering this card at CAS on Friday #125: Color Me Pretty and Addicted to Stamps and More #276:  Anything Goes.







My next card uses the technique of the week at PTI Make it Monday #310: Shadowed Sentiments and the color scheme at Color Throwdown #477.  I stamped HB in Orange Zest and then used Aqua Mist for the shadow.  I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday.








Last up is a card that uses 3 really cool nesting dies by Birch Press, sent to me by my dear friend, Tracey.  I used the color scheme from this week's Cupcake Inspiration #438 and am also entering at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Layer it Up.







Thanks for Visiting
