I had some time to play in some fun challenges over the weekend. First up is a card inspired by the photo at AAA Cards #75. I was inspired by the bright and bold colors and the pinwheel shape.
I inked up Quilted Summer for the very first time, remembering that the pattern of the quilt looked kind of like a pinwheel. I am also linking this card up at Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes.
My next card is inspired by the photo at Fusion Challenge. I was inspired by the colors of the chairs in the photo. Inkspirational #119 asks us to use 5 or more stamps--1-flowers; 2-stems; 3-sentiment; 4-butterfly #1; 5-butterfly #2. All the stamps for this card are from the same set as the quilt card above.
Ice cream is my very favorite dessert, so I needed to play along at The Card Concept #59. I used bitty dot paper in colors similar to the inspiration photo.
With 2 of my besties on the design team, it was only a matter of time before I got around to playing in Sugar Peas Design Mix it Up Challenge. I decided to play with the sketch.
I cut a bunch of extra flowers--Bitty Bouquets, and stamped enough while my Misti was all set up to make a little card set. Always nice to have them on hand for last minute gifts.
I am entering this card at CAS Colours & Sketches #194.
I am entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #214: Clean and Simple.
And one more card, just to round out the set. All sentiments are stamped in HA Soft Granite ink and are from various PTI Keep it Simple.
Thanks for Visiting

Joyce! I am so behind in commenting outside of challenge blogs. I just love your crafting!!! First, your quilt card is AWESOME! and a fabulous take on the AAA inspiration. Thank you for playing the AAA Challenge. Your fusion card is wonderful. Love the embossed background and the way you "planted" your flowers. Who doesn't love an ice cream come? (that would have worked well for the AAA Challenge too). Love your set of cards for the Sugar Pea Challenge - love that you reversed the placement of the side accent. A wonderful bunch of creations!!!!
ReplyDeleteAn amazing collection of cards! I love the use of dotty DP for the ice cream cones. Such a great take on the theme. Thank you so much for joining us at The Card Concept.
