Hello and happy Saturday. When the stars line up and my mojo cooperates, I try to make one card that meets the criteria of all three MFT Challenges. My first card is inspired by the sketch at MFT Sketch Challenge #497, the colors at MFT Color Challenge #145 and The Birthday Project Challenge Party Hearty. I am also entering this card at Inkspirational #217: Painting or Coloring, AAA Birthday #15: 3D, and Seize the Birthday #194 (no topping).
While I was looking through my MFT goodies for the first card, I came across this adorable frog that I think I stamped 2 years ago (has it been that long?) when I was visiting Tracey in Canada. I love how he looks like he is nonchalantly leaning against the wall...what a cool guy, checking out the party scene in his local pond. I used the same sketch as in the card above. I created my own patterned paper using a couple of Copic markers, so I could exactly match the colors I used for the frog. I am also entering this card Inkspirational #217: Painting or Coloring.
Next up is a one layer card inspired by the challenge at Stay Crafty with Hero #11 and the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #380. I am also entering this card at The Male Room #140: Sport (surfing and paragliding) and Seize the Birthday #194 (no topping).
I am entering this next card at Poppystamps #70: Glim & Glam and also AAA Cards #169: Made in Minutes. I die cut this Thank You background die once out of white cardstock and then cut just the one 'thanks' word out of Pink Glimmer paper, then inlaid that word back into the negative space. It's hard to see the shimmer on the pink paper, but it is there! This card was so quick to make.
While I was looking through my Poppystamps stash, I came across this Urban Skyline Collage die, and thought it would also be good for the Poppystamps #70: Glim & Glam challenge. I used 1/2 inch wide stripes of glitter paper behind the negative space of this die. I am also entering this card at Perfectly CAS #10: Sparkle.
I used this gorgeous framed deer die cut for my next card, which I am entering at the Memory Box Challenge #63: Framed and AAA Cards #169: Made in Minutes optional twist Christmas.
I was inspired by the colors at this week's Color Throwdown #601 for my next card.
Last but not least is a clean and simple card inspired by the color challenge at Less is More #423 and Cupcakes Inspiration #497: Flowers with Pearls.
That's it for me today.
Thanks for Visiting
I pat myself on the back if I can make two cards in a day. Do you have a lock on your craft room door? :D I think all your cards are terrific, but that casual frog has really stolen my heart. <3
