Time Out #310

Time Out has an inspired by challenge that is just in time to fill your Easter baskets or whatever else you have in your stash to make a sweet card. 

I gave away some of my secret addictions with my card. 😂

 

I cut the Candy Jars from MFT and filled them with dark chocolate M & Ms and Good and Plenty.  Once the candies were glued down I covered the jars with packing tape to make it look like glass.  The embossing is Dotty Circles from Altenew and the sentiment is from MFT Expressions. 

Our sponsor for this challenge is Lawn Fawn who is offering our winner $25 store credit.  The winner will also be asked to guest design for a future challenge.  Just remember that your card is restricted to 5 challenges including Time Out.   We hope you'll join us.

The Paper Players #779

Ann was in charge of setting up a Tic Tac Toe board for The Paper Players this week which happens when there are five Sundays in a month.  

There are so many great options to choose from. I went on the diagonal from bottom left to upper right - circle, flowers, sentiment.

I started with Cosmos Bunch from PFS thinking I would do an eclipse card.  I changed my mind and cut a circle from a Masking Magic A2 panel.  The flowers in the center of the circle were stenciled with Altenew inks and then Arctic ink was brushed around the edges.  The panel was trimmed to add a border of green and then the BetterPress sentiment added.  I like the softness you get with the masking as opposed to cutting a circle from the center and popping it up.  

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

Freshly Made Sketches #729

When there is a sketch as basic as the one at Freshly Made Sketches, it can be difficult to make a decision on which way to go with your card. I decided to go simple.

I don't know why the vellum looks wrinkly and the sentiment looks crooked because they aren't in real life. 😡  My flower is Lilacs from The Greetery.  I made panels of purple and green using Distress Spray Stains.  I don't use them often enough and thought it was time to give them a workout.  The background is the same Waffle Flower Rhombus cover plate that I used yesterday, minus the die cut overlay.

Color Hues #129 and NBUS #84

My friend Marcia picked the colors for the Color Hues challenge this time.  Purple and Marigold.  So how about some dahlias? 

The dies are Into the Blooms: Dahlia from PTI cut in C9 Fig and Sunflower.  The background is Waffle Flower's Rhombus Texture Die and Rhombus Die Panel.  The black fern was in the package and it worked so added it and an embossed sentiment from The Ton.  The background dies are new so I'm also sending my card to Darnell's NBUS.
