Freshly Made Sketches #749

Hello, friends!  I had some time last night to create a card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches .  I dusted off an old set of flower dies from My Favorite Things called Stitched Blooms and went with the dies that look like daisies.  I know daisies aren’t usually blue but the color matched perfectly with the blue gingham washi tape.     

Supplies:

Paper:  All from stash

Stamp: Seasonal Sentiments (Honey Bee)

Ink: Black Licorice (MFT)

Accessories: Stitched Blooms (MFT), Blue Gingham Washi Tape (Hobby Lobby)

The Paper Players #798

Hello, friends!  I’m back to share a fun card for this week’s The Paper Players Challenge.  Stef gave us a new color challenge, and I immediately knew what I wanted to create - a doggie card!  I’ve had this idea in my head of creating a card with a doggie holding a balloon, and these colors were perfect for it.  I used some teal twine to mimic the doggie holding the balloon.  I love how this little pup turned out! 

Supplies:

Paper: All from my stash

Stamp: Sending Smiles (Hero Arts)

Ink: Black Licorice (MFT)

Accessories: Teal Twine (Home Goods), Images cut with the Cricut Maker
