Happy Anniversary

Hello. I had a few minutes to put a card together for the latest Freshly Made Sketches challenge yesterday.  

The daisy die is made by Memory Box for Simon Says Stamp. I cut it three times, stacked it up for dimension and glued it down over the cut-out bricks.  The sentiment is from MFT stamps and stamped in hickory smoke archival ink. I used a dark gray as the cardbase on this to help make the flowers stand out a bit more. 

Thanks for stopping by.

With Sympathy

Hello. Playing in the Just add Ink #741 challenge of simple and elegant today.  I need to add a few sympathy cards to my stash, so I used this challenge as a starting point. 

I cut out a long rectangle using a die onto a piece of cardstock and used it as a stencil for the background on this card.  The silhouette stamp is an old one from Papertrey, ink and stamped in versafine ink.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee stamps.  The stitched outline die is from My Favorite Things. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Sending a little note

Hi all! I'm playing in the theme challenge over at The Paper Players today.  It's all about spring flowers. 

The tulip stamp is from the Friendship Jar Fillers from Papertrey, Ink. I stamped it in Simon Says intense black ink so that I could color them with Copic markers. 

The sentiment is from The Stamp Market and the stitched dies are from MFT stamps.
