Happy Saturday! I had a little time to spend in my craft room today. I have 2 cards to share! One I made the other day and one I made today. First up, the one I made today.
I am playing along with this week's Just Us Girls Challenge. This week is an inspiration challenge. I was mainly inspired by the colors and the afghan on the couch. When I saw the afghan I immediately remembered a Lifestyles die I purchased a few years ago and sort of forgot I had.
My card base is aqua. I glued the background die cut to a white piece of card stock to create the afghan look. I used a strip of green on the side and around the frame image for a few pops of green. My sentiment uses the flower color. I finished with a few silver pearls. I am using this week's Mojo Monday Sketch. I am using Verve's Stronger Love and On Occasion stamp sets along with Verve's Cut Above Occasion Frame and Banner Bundle die set.
I am playing along with this week's Color Throwdown Challenge. I combined several Verve stamps for this card. I used Bountiful Background for the aqua background. I stamped the dot/stripe background vertical and horizontal in a tonal ink to create a grid look background. Next, I stamped one of the script backgrounds from Text Object in a tonal color to create some more depth and dimension on the green panel. I finished with the focal image. I stamped the polka dotted image from Bountiful Background onto vellum for the fishtail flag coming out from below the oval. I used Verve's Banner Bundle die set. I then die cut Verve's Classy Label die and stamped with coordinating frame in Love Notes. I stamped the sentiment from PJ Life Is Good.I finished the card with some Verve's Pastel Sequin Mix.
As always thanks so much for stopping by!Betty
