Two Cards; Three Challenges

  • by

This is my second post today, for the Team-up Thursday and Kim Klassen’s texture photography challenges, scroll down.

I’m on a roll this week with card challenges and enjoying it! For my Mother’s Day card, I used a sketch from Card Patterns . . .

Sketch109

and the Just Rite Color Challenge.

Justrite inspiration

 

Here’s my take:

HappyMothersDay

I used two Just Rite stamp sets, “Breath of Spring” and “Happy Everything.” The two yellows and the blue in the challenge show up on the tulip image which I colored with Copic markers. The green became the card base and scallop. The dies were from Papertrey (medium scallop) and Spellbinders (tag), the ribbon from my stash, and the pearls are Hero Arts. We’ll be away for Mother’s Day so I’m happy to have this ready to put in the mail to my MIL.

The next card is for the Less is More challenge, “a touch of red.” I had a red butterfly left from a previous card this week, so this card came together quickly. I’m very happy with it, and think it’s a design I’ll use again.

CelebrateYourDay

The cardstock is Select White from Papertrey, and a green textured cardstock from American Craft. The brand of leaves is a Sizzix die, and the stamp are Hero Arts (butterfly) and Papertrey (sentiment.)

    I loved those butterflies in the other card you posted, and this one is just as pretty on its own.
    I’m loving that color combination for your color challenge! Well done!

    Yes, you have used butterflies so well this week Karen, the last card and the card from a couple of posts ago are both lovely!
    It is a pity you are not taking the BBfS class but I completely understand why and perhaps that was the decision I should have taken too – we will see how things pan out!
    Good luck with all of your travel and I hope the move runs smoothly for Matt – it is exciting news 🙂

    Your cards are stunning, as usual, Karen. But I’m particularly taken with the butterfly one. I think the simplicity and cleanness of it, combined with the texture of 3D embellishments – just perfect.

    Both cards are absolutely stunning, I love the butterfly and the leaf die and ……. Am really envious of the card stock that you use, the textures and colours are beautiful, will have to check Papertry out. Love Sheila x
