Cards for Ukraine

 

I am joining in with fellow crafters in creating some cards inspired by the colors of the Ukrainian flag and the courage of the Ukrainian people.

I am entering all three of these cards at Color Hues #36.

First up is this card using one of my favorite new Hero Arts dies.  

I am entering this card at Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero: Anything Goes and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Die Cut

I was inspired by my friend Lindsey's card when planning this next card.  Sunflowers are the national flower of Ukraine and are now a global symbol of solidarity.

 I am linking this card up at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Die Cut.

This was actually the first card I made in this series, again being inspired by the colors of the Ukrainian Flag and their national flower.  The stamp is a very old PTI called Botanical Blocks.  I am entering this card at PTI What Do I Do with This challenge to use embossing powder.

Time Out #207...Wishing You Weren't So Far Away

 

It is time for a new challenge at Time Out.  We are trying something new this year---a CASE challenge where we are playing along with one of my favorite card designers,  Michele from I Card Everyone. 

Take a wander through Michele's beautiful blog, and you will see why we feel so lucky and thrilled that she created a card just for our challenge, and for all of our lovely participants to CASE.

We challenge you to make a card inspired by this beautiful card made by Michele from I Card Everyone:

Now, there are so many ways to be inspired by this lovely card.  I was inspired by the color gradient Michele used for her pink die cuts, and decided to do something similar with die cuts.  I chose die cuts in shades of turquoise for my card.  I was also inspired by that big, beautiful heart right smack in the middle of the card, and chose to use a circular window in the middle-ish of my card.  As a master of CAS card design, Michele's card is a CAS creation, and so I kept my card very simple as well.

Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our fabulous Guest Designer, Ashwini Rao,  and the Time Out Design Team.  Stamplorations is our sponsor for this challenge.  Details for the prize are on the Time Out Challenge Blog.


This challenge will run for 2 weeks.  I hope you will take some Time Out of your busy schedule to play along with us.
