PP #64 & Friends with Flair

This is my card for the Paper Players Challenge # 64 to use a plant or animal, and the Unity blog's Friends with Flair. So I chose Unity's Feel the Joy flower. I stamped it in Memento Rhubarb, and then sponged Sand ink around it.

The wonderful background patterned paper is by My Mind's Eye: Lost & Found. It is definitely a new "found" favorite! The back side is the black & cream polka dot.

One Layer Wed

CFC 20 & Moxie Fab Sketch

This is my card for these 2 challenges: Moxie Fab Square Card Sketch Challenge, and CAS-ual Friday's CFC #20 Mini Card Challenge.

It is 2 5/8" square. The flower is PTI's Bloom Builders 3 dies, on cream paper, with sponging of Memento Sand ink and SU Close to Cocoa, so that it looks darker at the center.

The background is PTI's Houndstooth in Memento Bamboo Leaves on Cream. The banner is SU Old Olive with PTI Fillable Frames sentiment stamped in PTI Snow White.

It is topped off with a PTI New Leaf button tied with twine.
Happy Anniversary! Michelle & Corey.

Moxie Fab Horizontal & CFC 17

HI! this is my take on the Moxie Fab Horizontal Sketch. I also did this for the CAS-ual Fridays Stuck on You challenge. I used rub-on numbers from Making Memories over the sentiment from PTI Fillable Frames #4.
The background is new from PTI Houndstooth stamped in Versamark on Hawaiian Shores, and the main images are PTI Take Three: Summer stamped in Enchanted Evening on Hawaiian Shores. These are matted in a navy houndstooth from My Mind's Eye Lime Twist.

PTI August Blog Hop & Cosmo Cricket Sketch

this is my card for the PTI Blog Hop, and the Cosmo Cricket Sketch challenge. it has been a while since i have made any cards, so i thought i would combine some challenges.

did you see that great ribbon around the jar in the PTI inspiration photo? this is my take on it. i used the PTI Daydreamer set for the main image and the ribbon. all the patterned paper is Cosmo Cricket: Early Bird.

CASual Friday Challenge CFC15

It has been a while since I have done a challenge, so I liked the idea of doing a clean & simple one. When I saw the sketch challenge over on CASual Friday's blog, I just had to try it.
I saw on someone's blog, their inspiration of a splash of paint, and it intrigued me. I got out my watercolor paper, and chalk ink, spritzed a little water, and dripped away! I stamped the A Muse stamp in Brilliance black, then PTI Take Three: Summer sentiment in Memento Sweet Plum. The cardstock is blackberry by A Muse.
