Freshly Made Sketches 361 Challenge

Another day, another challenge!

Today's card is going to be linked to the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

The sketch is below and my card is my interpretation of it.

I'm also linking this card to the Simon Says Stamp Flicker Challenge Let Your Stencils Shine.

 

Today I'm trying to link all the cards I made at a crop this past weekend to the challenges that are ending in the next day or so. I think right now I have three including this one that I have to link. 

I had to wait until I got home to get decent photos so I could submit them. 

I make a lot of backgrounds when I don't know what I want to do while in my craft room. I usually toss them into a container until I decide if I'm going to use them for a card or die cut sentiments from them. I was able to use a few of my backgrounds this past weekend and create cards!

For this card I used a PaperTrey Ink stencil along with distress oxide ink to create a watercolor background. The colors I used were wild honey and crushed olive. 

I die cut some garden greens using a Tim Holtz thinlet die from Sizzix. I've started die cutting more and just tossing them in a container for use on cards at a moments notice. 

The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. The set is called Handlettered Encouragement. I love all stamps from Simon Says Stamp. They are one of my favorite companies.

I finished off the card with some cork bling from Recollections. 

That's it! Now on to the next card!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

CAS on Friday - Flowers

I found another flower challenge. I've really had good luck this past week with card challenges! I wish that would happen every week. This challenge is another clean and simple challenge. Be sure to click the link below and check out the cards their design team created.

CAS on Friday - Challenge #141 - Flowers

For this card I used the stamp set called The Most Beauty by Reverse Confetti. My background was created using twisted citron Distress Oxide ink. I create backgrounds and toss them in a container until I decide what I want to do with them. For my flower I took one of the backgrounds from my container and die cut a wildflower using a die from the Sizzix Tim Holtz die called Wildflowers. The Distress Oxide colors used for the flower are twisted citron, fossilized amber, salty ocean and faded jeans.

 

The colors aren't always exact on my photos even though I edit them. Some colors look exactly like the card. The background color is a little darker in the photo than the real card.
