After nearly a week of dealing with surgery on my right thumb and a nasty and exceedingly itchy rash on my back (caused ironically by a new anti-itch lotion), I'm more or less back to normal. At least back in the craft room. I have a couple of cards to share for some current challenges. First up, one for the Inspired By Challenge. It's another weekly challenge, so often comes and goes before I get my act together. Earlier this month, I made two cards to send to blogging friends that meet this week's theme: Tweet Messages. Since I think both friends have received the cards, I can post them now.
This is a new stamp set (for me) from My Favorite Things (which is quickly becoming one of my favorite stamp companies), called "Winter Songbird."
These were fun to watercolor, and the sentiment came from the same set. Pretty quick, and definitely CAS.
I used my favorite Hero Arts Rounded Rectangle Infinity dies to cut the first two layers, and then added them to an Asparagus (Gina K) card base.
The next card is a soft floral birthday card. It's for the new Fusion Card Challenge: Flowers.
The pretty, soft floral arrangement is my inspiration.
This beautiful floral arrangement is from Altenew's "Bergenia Builder. I stamped it in a soft gray ink, and quickly colored it with Copic markers, adding some detail to the floral centers with a Staedtler Fineliner.
I simply trimmed this panel down with my paper cutter and added it to a gray card base.
The sentiment is from an all-time favorite from Papertrey Ink - "Signature Greetings."
Off to catch up on my homework for Liz Steel's Sketchbook Design class. It's been absolutely wonderful; worth twice what I paid for it.
