I have finally had a crafty weekend! Here's what I made:
I am entering this card at PTI Make it Monday #349: Negative Die Cut Backgrounds. I used a die from the Shakers and Sprinkles kit, which I had completely forgotten about. I am also entering this card at Just Us Girls #473: LOVE and Simon Says Monday Challenge: Love is in the Air.
My next card was inspired by the sketch at Just Add Ink #442 and The Paper Players #427: Love is in the Air.
Last of the 'love' cards is a card I made inspired by the challenges at Poppystamps #53: Love Me Do and Addicted to Stamps and More #326: Anything Goes. I used the Party Lanterns die from Poppystamps for this card, and cut my lanterns out of a paint chip, which is how I got the nice ombre colors. I am also entering this card at Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #127: V is for Valentine. Still not a snarky card, but this is the least mushy of my 3 valentines today.
Next up is a card inspired by the sketch at MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge#422. I rotated the sketch by 90 degrees and used some of my newest MFT wine stamps and dies.
I used Copics to color this festive penguin, and am entering this card at Day 1 of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. It's my first time playing along, and I am going to try to participate as much as I can.
I am also entering this card at CAS(E) this Sketch #307, Addicted to CAS # 152: Birds, CAS on Friday #150: Birthday.
Last up is a pair of black and white birthday cards inspired by the challenge at Seize the Birthday
I made a second version of this card, and am entering it at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.
Thanks for Visiting
Wow, when you have a crafty weekend, it really shows! I'm happy if I actually make more than one card in a day. :P I love that dotty heart die, but also really like that you used not-hearts for that last valentine - and that you're a fellow paint chip user. A productive weekend with terrific results! And, I get to say thanks for playing at the Sisterhood and at Seize the Birthday. :)
