Two cards, one quick post!
I'm nearly late for the party at Color Throwdown #781 - and it has been FAR too long since I've played along... sorry ladies! I just could NOT resist your gorgeous inspiration this week!

Double D Challenge: Patterned Paper!
I have quite a collection of patterned papers that I just HAD to have - don't you? I was really happy to see the gals at Double D embrace them in their Patterned Paper challenge! Here are the few they shared in their mood board this month:

Freshly Made Sketches #624 and Just us Girls #715
Happy to see you today! I have two cards for two challenges! But first I wanted to share a photo of that mural I mentioned recently:

Now on with my cards!
First up, a 'mop-up' panel that I've saved since 2021 - oh you know you have them, too! You'll see the original HERE from a card made for the CAS Mix Up Challenge - yes, I do still miss those CAS challenges so very much! The assignment was to stamp through a stencil, and I loved the look so much and the inks I used together that I couldn't bear to waste the inks... here are my 'leftovers'...

I have nudged my way into your space quite a bit this week - and I appreciate every moment you've spent with me in my crafty space. Thanks so much!

A Color Challenge from Therese!
I do love a challenge! So, when my friend Therese Calvird suggested a color challenge I jumped right in!
But, before I share my card, I'd like to invite you all to join me as I watch Therese go LIVE to make her card! Are you in?? Just jump over to her Lost in Paper YouTube channel and click on the link for her LIVE - for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere it is TODAY Wednesday, Feb. 21st at 5 EST! When you arrive click on the 'Live Chat' so you can join in the fun! I will be there as her moderator - we do have so much fun chatting away while Therese does all the work! lol
Even though I have made many cards [see my favorite here] using her suggested Red & Orange color challenge, I was happy to make one [or two] more! Here's my first:
