Hello and happy Thursday. I am popping in quickly to share a few cards I've made this week. I used some stencils I got from The Greetery that create an entire card front's worth of plaid. It decided to cut it into strips, and used 2 of those strips for my first two cards.
I paired my first plaid strip with some MFT martini glasses, stamped using the same ink as one of the plaid stripes. I was inspired by Festive Friday #86 (Clean and Simple, Blue, Plaid), Freshly Made Sketches #490 and WWC318: Occasions (birthday).
I used another strip of that plaid for my next card. I also used the same sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #490 , and am also playing along with this card at The Male Room #151: Dads & Grandads, Stay Crafty with Hero Arts #24: For the Guys, WWC318: Occasions (Father's Day), and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Animal Antics (that sneaky little kitty taking a nap on dad's feet).
My next card uses the Peek-A-Boo Books cover plate die from Hero Arts and the Literary Quotes stamps to create a tone on tone monochrome card inspired by A Blog Named Hero June Challenge. I was also inspired by the challenge at Festive Friday #86 (Clean and Simple, Blue, Books) and Stay Crafty with Hero Arts #24: For the Guys.
And, one more take on that same design, this one using a rainbow of colors sponged upon the books. I'll enter this card at Stay Crafty with Hero Arts #24: For the Guys as well as The Rainbow Challenge #30: Radically Rainbow.
Thanks for Visiting
Fabulous cards, Joyce! I like the plaid you created!
ReplyDeleteLove that plaid stencilling! And very wise to use just a strip of it so as not to overpower your card. Perfect for a Dad card, my Dad wears loads of plaid! Thanks for playing along with The Male Room. X
