Hello and happy Tuesday. I'm popping in quickly to share 2 cards I made this week. First up is a card inspired by the colors at The Paper Players #503 and the challenge at Simon Says Monday: Summer Memories (last summer, we went to Portugal, and these multi colored houses on a hillside remind me of Porto).
I used a stamp from Mama Elephant Scene Builders and colored with Copics.
My next card was inspired by the sketch challenge at Inky Paws #129 and Just Us Girls #548: Die Cut a Window. I made a slimline card using the cats from Newton's Nook Book Club and also the snuggling cat and dog together from Porch Swing Friends.
I used Slim Line Window Dressing dies from Mama Elephant to cut the windows and curtains for my sweet critters.
I am finding that the slimline cards are a bit tough to photograph. Here are some close ups of each of the three windows.
The middle window.
And the final window on the right.
Thanks for Visiting
How cute is this, love the buttery gingham curtains!
