The Flower Challenge #108 - Reminder

There is still time for you to make a thanks card for The Flower Challenge and there is more inspiration on the blog to inspire you.

This is a new die that I got from the Spellbinder's Warehouse Sale called Fresh Picked Buttercups.  The flowers are the same color as my last card - C9 Clementine which I understand has been discontinued. 😥 The leaves are C9 Parsley and the background is the last piece of a really dark brown that I didn't swatch so I have no idea whose it is.  I used the same sentiment die from Altenew as my previous card in the color of the flower centers.  

Will we see your card in the gallery?

Freshly Made Sketches #712

Although I have enough Christmas cards made for friends and family this year, it's always good to stockpile for next year.  This is my way of saying I made a Christmas card with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. 

I gave my Festive Friend a knitted sweater from a Honey Bee paper pack.  The panel was stamped with a sentiment from C9 and partially embossed with an ancient Snowflake folder from Darice.  A little slice of Altenew Ruby Treasured Cardstock separates the two and leftover paper from an unknown pack adds more snow to the background. 

I'm so glad you dropped by to see what I've been up to.

Just Us Girls #801 - Word Week

It's Word Week at Just Us Girls and Carol chose this word:

While at Michele's this summer, I stamped one of her darling Penny Black images and decided this was the time to use it.

It's called Little Sledder. I think she is precious and reminds me of my four blond granddaughters. (when they were little of course). She was stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Distress Inks.  A Penny Black frame, also cut from watercolor paper, was added to SB Blush and a sentiment from PTI finishes it off.  

What comes to your mind when you think of the word winter?  For inspiration, our guest Leslie Miller and the Design Team have a wide variety of beautifully made cards.  We'd love to see your card in the gallery.

What a great turnout we had for our 800th challenge.  I put all the eligible names in a bowl and had my husband draw a name.  Drum roll . . .  the winner of the Dazzling Diamond hot foil plate is Karen Letchworth.  Please send your mailing address to bobbarah @ gmail .com, Karen, and congratulations.

Christmas Kickstart #104

'Just Add Antlers' is the theme over at Christmas Kickstart and I had just the right dies to make a card. 

Featuring Simon Hurley's Floral Stag!  He was cut from C9 Acorn and Desert Storm scraps and is hanging from Altenew's Ornate Nesting die cut from a scrap of wood look paper.  The background floral is from Honey Bee, the greens from TH and the sentiment from PFS. 

Thanks for dropping by.
