Happy Monday. I'm popping in to post 2 birthday cards I made yesterday.
First up is a card I made, inspired by this colorful card by Melissa for the PTI new product release. She used the new pen stamp, and I used Pencil Me In. I just love the way this card turned out, but I have to tell you that I was holding my breath by the end. So much stamping and lining up, and I was really afraid I'd mess it up and then have to start all over again.
By the time I got all the pencils stamped, I was too scared to stamp a sentiment, so I opted for a die cut sentiment.
I am entering this card at PTI Create Along with Us, CASual Fridays #194: Beautiful Rainbows, and Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes.
I was inspired by the color challenge at Paper Players #384: Any Shade of Pink to pull out a bunch of different shades of pink paper and my MFT Jungle Friends dies to get started on my next card.
I am also entering this card at CAS(E) This Sketch #262, AAA Cards #110: Ombre and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Girl Power.
That's it for me today. Come back tomorrow, when I'll be posting the new CASology challenge for this week.
Thanks for Visiting
Those pink little ellies are adorable, Joyce ... and what a delicious, rainbow collection of pencils ... so bright and fun against all that crisp white! The end must have definitely been a breath holding moment! Hugs, Anita :)
