Freshly Made Sketches #695 and Christmas Kickstart #100

I said yesterday that I had another card for Freshly Made Sketches.  I made this card for Christmas Kickstart's Merry-go-Round challenge before seeing the sketch and it was a good fit. 

The ornament is from Spellbinder's Christmas Wonder, the embossing folder is Encircle from Penny Black and the gold heat embossed sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio.  I can see making more of these with different colors and sentiments to add to my Christmas card stash.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a good weekend.

Just Us Girls #783 - Mood Board Week

It's Mood Board Week at Just Us Girls and Carol M has a fun one for us. 

 There are so many images that you can use, together or separately, to make a wonderful nature inspired card. 

I took the colors and used the Honey Bee Wildflowers for my card.  Two SU! embossing folders were used on the background - Ferns and Subtle - along with SB Elliptical Ovals.  The sentiment is also from Honey Bee.

Need some inspiration?  The Design Team and our guest designer Donna Mikasa have cards to do just that over on the blog.  Check them out and then add your card to our gallery.  We'd love to see you there. 

I hadn't thought of how much this card resembles the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #695 until Donna pointed it out.  I'm sending this card to them but there will be another one later.

Time Out #293 - Inspired By

This challenge at Time Out is to be inspired by your favorite song.

I'm not sure I have any one favorite song and I had to go with something that I have the stamps/dies for so this is what I came up with.

You can tell the song by the computer generated sentiment.  I stamped the globe from Concord and 9th in the center of my card base and then added the TH Funky Floral Wreath around it.  I had to add a bird and I found just the right size in Honey Bee's Seasonal Frames.  

What's your favorite song?  Please don't make us guess what one you used.  Make sure to tell us in your post and have fun with it.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Lawn Fawn, giving the winner a $25 store credit.  For inspiration, check out what the Design Team has made featuring their favorite song.

Inkspirational #345

The Inkspirational theme is three of the same and so daisies it is.

The funny thing is I went to my secondary Facebook page and this same design came up.  I searched my blog and saw I made one like it in June of 2023. The only difference was in the color of the background, the color of the basket and where the sentiment was placed.  The daisies are from TH Wildflowers, cut from watercolor paper and colored with Distress Inks.  The basket from The Greetery was cut in silver and backed with vellum.  The light blue background is embossed with the Timeworn Type folder.  The sentiment from The Greetery was added to a silver stick and bracket.  I guess a good design bears repeating. 😉

The Flower Challenge #104 - Reminder

There is still time for you to make a card for The Flower Challenge based on the colors in the photo. 

For this card I used the colors opposite from the previous card, using the blue for the flowers and rust for the leaves.  

The Morning Glories are from Altenew in the Cool Summer Night collection and the leaves are Orange Cream and Firebrick.  Another Betterpress sentiment finishes it off. 

I hope my cards and those of the rest of the design team inspire you to make a card for the challenge.
