Hello! I'm back today with some card that I created for various challenges ...
My first card was inspired by the Little Red Wagon challenge to use 3 or more flowers ... as you can see, I used more than 3 :)
Hand Stamped Sentiments also posted a challenge to create something inspired by spring ... and this definitely fit!
I'm thinking that this would make a nice Mothers Day card -- I like the bright colours and the various dies that I used for the background.
I cut out each individual mason jar and tied some twine around the lid ... an easy way to add some texture and dimension. The yellow flowers are all punched out with one of my many flower punches and I used some yellow button brads for the centres.
The next card that I am sharing was created for a challenge at CAS-ual Fridays. They challenged me to use a tree in a card ...
You can see that I chose to create an apple tree ... this was inspired by the fun sentiment from the Jillibean Apple Cheddar Soup sticker page ...
And finally for today, I am sharing a card that I created based on the following Freshly Made sketch:
I had fun with this Jillibean paper and chose to go with a fruit theme so that I could also enter this card in the Paper Dolls challenge to use a sketch with a fruity twist ...
Thanks for stopping in!
