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.

Just Us GIrls #816 - Stencil Week

Lisa is the host for Stencil Week at Just Us Girls and this time it's Anything Goes.

After I bought the Magnolia Dreams embossing folder from Altenew, I found out there was a stencil that went with it so that came home to me and I used it on today's card.

I used Altenew inks in Rose Quartz, Pinkalicous, Sagestone, Olive Grove, Vanilla Cream and Butternut.  A simple sentiment from their One-Go Birthday was all I needed to finish it off.

What stencil will you use to make a card?  I know you have a few so I hope you'll pull one out and join our guest Milla and the rest of the Design Team in making a card for the challenge.

The Paper Players #778

It's a sketch at The Paper Players and Claire designed a great one.  I wanted to put a bird as my focal point and found one already colored in the package.

It's from Hummingbird Thanks from Pretty Pink Posh.  Next I went in search of patterned paper and found both pieces in a pack from Honey Bee called Team Tie-Dye.  The green was cut with a deckle edge from My Craft Spot (oob) and the label is from Pinkfresh Studio's Dotted Fancy Frames.  I used one of the dies from the set to partial die cut the vertical banner.   The Subtle embossing folder from SU and a sentiment from SSS finish it off.
