I have been out of my craft room for 2 days, and it felt like forever. It was so nice to get back to 'work' (or play) and whip up a few cards for some of my favorite challenges.
It's Laura Bassen day on the blog today--my first two cards are inspired by this super talented gal.
My first card uses this week's color scheme at the Color Throwdown CTD235, and I followed Lauren's video tutorial on the Hero Arts site here on partial die cutting.
Next up is a case of this super sweet card of Lauren's. I used the colors from this week's ColourQ cQc#182.
My next card is for this week's CAS(E) this Sketch CTS #21. I am trying to use what I learned in last week's Pattern Play class--I broke into another patterned paper pad for this card.
My last card is for this week's Seize the Birthday STB#11. I used the scraps left over from the card above to make this card. It is almost impossible to see that I embossed the card base with the Numbers Impression plate--but you can see it in person. My husband's birthday is Monday (no foolin') so I need to decide which of these cards will be for him.
The challenge this week at Simon Says Stamps is Anything Goes, so I will enter all of these cards over at SSS, too.
