Sunday Wrap Up



I had some time to play in my craft room today and was able to play along with some challenges I haven't played with in quite a while as well as one that is new to me.

One Layer Simplicity #19 asks us to Strip Down this month, by masking a strip down the front of our card and doing something interesting with it.  I used the color scheme suggested by this week's Less is More #35:  Berry Shades.  I blended the following Distress inks on my strip:  worn lipstick, festive berries, milled lavender and seedless preserves.


I have finally managed to purchase a few Winnie & Walter stamp sets and was inspired by Vanessa's card to use an image from Addies Garden as well as a sentiment from The Big, the Bold and the Happy.  I hope it is not too much of a stretch to enter this card at Winnie & Walter Rerun #3.





Next up is a pair of cards I will be sending to one of my nieces at camp.  I pulled out some Paper Smooches stamps and EP Hello Summer paper and made two cards I will be submitting at Paper Smooches Sparks Anything Goes.

I used the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #134 for my first card.




There was some paper in that pad with little banners on it, so I used it on my next card.  I will be entering this card at Addicted to CAS #69: Banners.




Thanks for Visiting
