Card Challenge Sunday


Today I had some time to work on my Mojo, finally! I decided to take on two challenges and do something very different for each. Both were sketch challenges but from two different sources. My first card is based on this sketch from Taylored Expressions. When I saw the cute flowers I knew I had to use the CTMH Splendor Paper. I fussy cut the flower from one of the patterned papers and then stamped the bird and the three bug buttons. I embossed them to give them a bit of shine and character.


The second challenge is from 365 Cards. I decided to go with a gate fold card and rotate the sketch 90 degrees. I am going to send this one to my niece who just learned how to ride a bike. I don't have a bike stamp but thought this one would work out just as well. She was so excited to learn that she called to tell me right away.

  2. I used a template design from "Wishes" and made 20 cards with the Splendor pack ... I LOVE that pack but now when I close my eyes all I can see is those patterns. :D LOL I LOVE YOUR CUT FLOWER! That is amazing!
