Muse # 157, CASology #189 and Mod Squad

I have three cards for you today, one for each of three challenges.
For Muse:
Here's Anita's card that was my inspiration.
I masked off the sentiment strip and stamped the Altenew flowers on either side.  Because my flowers didn't cover all along the mask, I drew a couple of lines.  A light wash of DI finishes it off.

For CASology:
Their cue word was
and of course that meant I had to use my WPlus9 DoodleBuds and then added a little doodle frame of my own.  I also did a light wash on this card using Altenew inks.  Did you know they are great for watercoloring?

Last but not least is a card for Mod Squad.  I've not entered this challenge before but a couple of my teamies from Just Us Girls are the hostesses and . . .well, I thought I'd better support them.  The challenge is "The Rainbow Connection" and this is what I came up with  for you, Judy and Vicki.
The stamps are from Hero Arts.  I've had them for a while and never used them.  I cut a circle, stamped and colored the rainbow with DI, then embossed the remaining card with a Clouds ef.  I am totally out of foam and no place locally to get any more so I cut a coaster to pop up my circle.
ETA:  Thanks to Jen, I'm sending this card to A Blog Named Hero.  They have a rainbow challenge going.

As you can see, I should have stamped the sentiment first.  Maybe this will be my entry into Darnell's BooBoo challenge on April Fool's Day.
Thanks for dropping by and making it to the end.

Fantastic cards, Bobby. I can see I'm going to have to relent and get that Altenew set - wow, you make it look so good with the soft colours! Love your doodle-blooms, too. So glad you joined us at Muse and CASology this week!

Love these, but my favourite one is the Muse one so soft and delicate! x

Three beauties, Bobby! I love the soft colours on the first two cards and I really like the lines you added the first one - it adds a lot and makes everything pop. I love that HA rainbow - I think I bought that set just for that image! Ha ha! A Blog Named Hero is having a Rainbow challenge this month - you should enter your card there. :)

Oh, I am so in love with this. That image is perfect here! And so unusual, I love all the line art! The embossed background is genius. I see you are a Clean and Simple gal, you have my admiration!! I so can't make a card without lots of fluff. Great take on the challenge, thanks so much for your support, and for playing along with us this week over at the Mod Squad Challenge!

Bobby, I love all three cards! I have to say, I am really wishing I had the doodle flowers from WPlus9 this week, your card is exactly why...they are perfect! I love how you grounded them on your card with your doodled border. Perfect! Thanks for joining us at CASology!

Triple perfection. Love all of your cards. The doodle flowers are fabulous!

Joyce said...

Fabulous trio of cards, Bobby. Love them all, but am particularly taken with your CASology entry. Love how you did the frame, and some of those happy flowers look like they do not want to be contained. Running off to spread the love. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.

It looks as though you had a busy, fun-filled time in your craft room!! Your cards are all wonderful! The lines on your sympathy card give the card such a clean look - and the design is perfect for sympathy. The doodled flowers are so fun and your rainbow card is sure to brighten somebody's day. The embossed clouds are such a great touch!

OH Babs said...

Fun cards and some of the stamps I also own. I am responding to your Doodle card for CASology I just love this stamp set and I have had a lot of fun coming up with different designs.

Barb Ghig said...

Neets B said...

Three gorgeous cards, Bobby. Another Altenew set I now have to have! I love your take on my card. Your delicate washes of colour are perfect for the occasion.
Thanks so much for playing along at Muse this week, Anita x

Kim Heggins said...

Bobby....this is one gorgeous card. To date my favorite that you have made. I love the soft sweet colors!

Betty said...

3 great cards, Bobby - your rainbow card is so cute and i didn't even notice the sentiment until you mentioned it (that's why i always stamp a sentiment in black so i can fix stuff like with a fine tip pen) - anyway, thanks for joining our rainbow challenge at ABNH this month - good luck.

A trio of terrific, my friend! You're got 'flower arranging' down to an art with your first two cards, and the rainbow? Absolutely charming! I think you've just expanded my wish list!
