The Paper Players #789

Stef's challenge at The Paper Players is for a masculine card and I wanted to show you the one I made for my brother's birthday.

The gas pumps are from C9's Fueled with Love, cut from scraps.  The background is Altenew's Checkered Squares embossing folder.  The sentiment is computer generated.  This was so fun to make and I came up with a few other sentiments to make more.  

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

Color Hues #134 and Krafty Chicks #823

I finally got a card completed for the Color Hues challenge.  I was having a problem with ink smearing when using my Ohuhu markers so I ordered a different ink to see if that would make a difference.  It may have been the stamp because I still got a little smear so don't look too close.

The flowers are Pen Sketched from Altenew.  The stem in the center was my trial run but I needed it to fill out the arrangement so I cut off a mis-stamp at the top and finished the coloring. The background is Dotted Lattice from PFS over turquoise paper.  The sentiment is from BetterPress.

It's birthday week at Krafty Chicks so I'm sending my card to them too.

Freshly Made Sketches #739

Flowers would have worked well with Karren's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches but instead of going with the expected, I went in a totally different direction with this fun card.

The dies are Birthday Brew from Spellbinders Just Add Cake kit.  I decided to go non-alcoholic and make root beer.  The sentiment is from the kit and the background is from a Honey Bee paper pack.

Just Us Girls #826 - Die Week

Carol is the host for Die Week at Just Us Girls and she would like to see a butterfly die used on our cards.

I'd like to welcome Kellianne from In My Stamp Room as our guest designer this month.  She has some softly colored and beautifully designed  cards on her blog that you'll want to take a peek at.  

As for me, my card is fairly clean and simple.

I've had this Memory Box butterfly for quite a while.  One cuts the detail that's done in Graphic foil from C9 and the other the background that is colored with Mica Sprays in Snowflurries and Winterfrost. The same colors are on the border cut with HA Rounded Rectangles. C9's Swirls Die adds a little flight movement to the main panel.  The sentiment is from The Ton. 

Now it's your turn.  For inspiration, please check out what the Design Team and our guest Kellianne have made.  They're sure to give you ideas.
