IB191 ... Thanksgiving Card

Hello!  Popping in with a quick card today.  I came across this fun theme over at Inspired by Challenge.

I was inspired by the cute bear peaking through the pretty flowers.

Paper: Orchard Harvest (Creative Imaginations)

Stamp: Year Round Messages (Hero Arts)

CMCC... Christmas Card

Hi Friends,

 

**Please note that I did not turn on Word Verification.  For some odd reason, it will pop up when you leave a comment.  Some of my other blog friends have encountered the same problem**

 

Last week. I purchased some new stamps from my local craft store, and I just had to break them in.  I decided to create a card using the new palette from Colour Me Challenge - Night of Navy and Silver.  Such an elegant combo!

 

 

                                            

My card:

 

 

The card base is Whisper White, and the layers are Night of Navy and pretty patterned paper from DCWV The Twinkle Glints Paper Stack.  Not sure if you can see it, but the diagonal lines have a shiny silver to it.  My new stamp is from Hero Arts called Joy Burst, and was heat embossed in silver embossing powder.  I really like how the image stands out.  I hope you like it.

Have a fabulous day!

 

 





 

The Kraft Journal.... Birthday Wishes

Hi Friends,

I'm popping in quickly to share a card I put together using the sketch from The Kraft Journal Challenge.

My card:

The card base is Kraft, with layers of brown and green gingham card stock.  I took a piece of Night of Navy and embossed it with SU! Stripes folder, and adhered to the left hand side of the card.  The die-cut circles were created with the circle nesties.  The car is from Hero Arts Three Fun Cars stamp set, and was stamped in Night of Navy ink.  The sentiment is from SU! Petite Pairs, and was stamped also in Night of Navy ink.  Since it's masculine card, I refrained myself from adding any bling! 

I'm also adding this card to Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes.
