Lucky me....I was able to sneak in some crafty time this week. First up is a card for PTI Create Along With Us. I was inspired by this card by Betsy. I sponged Distress Oxide Salty Ocean ink and then splattered with water to get that watery look, and used the Waves cover plate inside my window. The birds are from Mountains Majesty and the lighthouse is from Guiding Lights.
I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday where the theme is Beachy.
I completed a card I had started at Tracey's house to enter into the Rainbow challenge at Addicted to CAS #138.
My next 2 cards are also made with things I stamped and die cut at Tracey's house. They both use MFT Tweet Wishes.
I was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #341 and I stayed true to the sketch, until I decided to add that third yellow bird, as the card felt like something was missing. I guess there really is something to the 'rule of threes'. I am also entering this card at Less is More #373: Friendship.
I colored a few more of those Tweet Wishes critters, this time inspired by the colors at Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #448. I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #296: Anything Goes.
Last up is a card I made using a fun new stamp from Concord & 9th called Sketched Stripes Background. You can rotate the stamp (or the paper) and get a fun geometric design with lots of different sized rectangles. I am entering this card at AAA Cards #117: Geometrics.
Thanks for Visiting
Nice geometric pattern idea and thank you for playing at AAA cardsm also love the color of the card ;-)
ReplyDeleteLots of fun cards and my hubby likes all the birds in them! Squeal on the last one as that stamp is still uninked on my desktop! What a great card!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of these cards in the winner galleries of these challenges, Joyce! You've really hit the ball out of the park on each one! And it's great that you are finishing up your started creations; I so fail at that! While I love all your cards, I have to say I really love that upside down owl!! Hugs, Darnell
