Hello. I'm playing in a few challenges today with this card. 

The bicycle dies are from Brass and Bliss. The cloud stencil is from A colorful life designs and the trees, bushes and hill stencil is from Simon Says Stamp.  I also used their inks to blend through the stencils.

I sent this off to a Co-workers wife who is a SU demonstrator, as a thank you. She recently made up a bunch of card kits that were handed out to us during our last meeting.  Such a sweet gesture and much appreciated.

Sending birthday wishes

Hello. Playing in a few challenges today with this card.

The flower dies are from Sizzix (Simon Hurley). I used up a few of my scraps in my stash box for the flowers.  Always nice to try to deplete that box! Sentiment is from The Ton and the Dragonfly die is a new one from Craft Addiction UK. I added a bit of sparkle to the wings with a glitter brush from Scrapbook.com.

I embossed the smaller stamp die cut using a 3D embossing folder from Honey Bee stamps. Love the texture it provides as a bit of dimension in the background.  Added a bit of jute string to it as well and ended up really liking how it framed up the sentiment. 

Entering this into the following challenges:

Hi all. Playing in the Just Add Ink Swirls challenge today.

I used Tim Holtz's Baroque swirl stamp from Stampers Anonymous to stamp the swirl onto watercolor paper. I really loved how it came out, so I decided to cut it down into sections to fit onto an A2 card.  I used dark navy cardstock to layer the panels.  The sentiment is from Pink and Main.

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.
