Dynamic Duos #64 and Moxie Fab Birthday Card Challenges

It feels like forever since I was making cards and blogging, but really it has only been a week or so.  I'm back from vacation, and have one quick card to share before I need to get back to all of my neglected chores and laundry. 

 
I had an idea to stack and combine two cuts from the PTI Triangle Cover plate--and I either saw it someplace or dreamed it up myself.  I honestly can't remember.  Anyway, when I sat down to play, this is what I decided to try.  If anyone out there knows who posted this idea first, please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due.   I thought the background looked a bit like a trellis, and so paired it with some flowers from Cutting Garden and leaves from Embroidered Blooms.

I am entering this card into the challenge at Dynamic Duos as well as The Birthday Card Challenge in the Moxie Fab World, the  Simon Says...Triangle Challenge, and The Trendy Triangle Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

Thanks for coming by to see what I've been up to.  I know I've been a little scarce, as I tried to keep myself and my family unplugged as much as possible while we were away.  But, now that I'm home, I expect I'll be round to visit all my usual haunts as soon as possible.


Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps:  Cutting Garden, Embroidered Blooms, Verve Big Wish
Paper:  White, Harvest Gold, Hibiscus Burst, Soft Stone
Ink:  Soft Stone, Memento London Fog
Other:  Triangle Cover Plate, Turning a New Leaf , Cutting Garden Dies, MFT Fishtail Flags, Prisma Glitter

ColourQ #190 and CAS(E) this Sketch #29

Father's Day must be around the corner, because my favorite color challenges are featuring all these yummy masculine colors this week.  I am taking advantage of all this inspiration to get some Father's Day cards made.

I really love the colors in this week's ColourQ cQc#190, and used them on both of my cards today.  My first card is a CASE of Tracey's award winning card from CAS(E) this Sketch last week.  Change the colors to a manly palette, turn the butterflies into stars, and done.

My next card uses the same color scheme and the sketch from this week's CAS(E) this Sketch CTS#29.   My May PTI order arrived this afternoon, and I had to pull out my little triangles right away.
