My Crafty Weekend

Gradually, I am shifting away from knitting and back to cards as the weather warms up.  I made 3 cards yesterday for lots of different challenges.

First up is this card using the Poppystamps Urban Skyline die.  I am entering this at Poppystamps Challenge #51: Summer Holiday and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  Travel/Vacation  --  as I was just in New York City for my first trip of the summer, and also Addicted to stamps and More #346: Anything Goes.

Next up is another card using a Poppystamps die, this one the Happy Birthday background die.  I am entering this card at Poppystamps Challenge #51: Summer Holiday --  this time because my daughter's birthday is in July, so celebrating her birthday is one of the major events of our summer holiday every year.

I used the colors from Color Throwdown #548, watercoloring them on the card base using PTI reinkers and a water brush, and am also entering this card at AAA Birthday #2: Use Water Colors and Seize the Birthday-- Cover the Card.  I am especially pleased at how this card came out, as the water colors are so pale and mermaidy and I managed to cover an entire card and yet still keep it pretty Clean and Simple and true to my style.

Last up is this funny/punny card, where I used some Hampton Arts stamps I have had for at least 5 years and have never seen ink.  (the shame!!)

I am entering this card at Retro Rubber #113:  Anything Goes,  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #137: M is for Menopause, and Shopping Our Stash #398:  You're So Punny.
