Color Hues #137

Like a few other crafters, the first thing I thought of when I saw the colors at Color Hues was poppies. 

These BAF Poppies are from Altenew, stamped with their Heartbeat and Vineyard Berry inks .  The leaves don't have a fill-in stamp so they're left in black and white.  For the background, I cut PFS Petal Grid and backed it with black.  A sentiment will wait for a later time.

The Paper Players #795

I was crazy not to bring summer stamps and dies with me to the lake when that's what a lot of the challenges will be.  I did bring Spellbinders Oh Buoy! so I used that for my card for The Paper Players CAS challenge - Going to the Beach. 

The background is from a Lawn Fawn pack I got to make baby cards but this sheet looked like a foggy sunrise at the beach to me, especially when I added the seagull and sand.  All die cuts are from scraps.  No sentiment at the moment until I know who it's going to and why.

Krafty Chicks #829

I mentioned in my last post about loving the birds from Unity Stamps and thought this one would be good for the CAS challenge at Krafty Chicks.


The image from Flock Talk was stamped in Memento Toffee Crunch one day when I was playing with my new Ohuhu markers and having trouble with black ink.  It worked great with this cute and funky bird, that was then placed behind a panel cut with MFT's Peek-a-boo die.  The sentiment comes from the set.

Freshly Made Sketches #745

I've always loved those birds from Unity that I see people use on cards so when they had a sale I couldn't resist.  I also couldn't resist the faces of the Windowsill Woodlands.  I thought one would make a great card for Jen T's Freshly Made Sketches.

I mean look at that face.  Adorable.  And the sentiment goes right along with it.  The raccoon was stamped on Bristol and colored with Zigs, what little coloring was needed, along with the background.  Some wood patterned paper that I have been  hoarding seemed to fit.
