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:
It covers the entire side of the furniture store... here is a little closeup for
a look at the artists' detail:
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'...
And here is the card I made with one of them for Bobby's Just us Girls' #715 Stencil Challenge ... it might not be what Bobby had in mind, but a stencil WAS used!
I couldn't bear to cover any of these gorgeous soft colors up so I did
a camouflaged sentiment with this big friend die from Altenew.
Now I promised I'd readdress that fun Freshly Made Sketches card ... I'm laughing at myself as even the second card ended up LESS CAS than I'd like! BUT I knew that I wanted to revisit this collection of Anna Griffin papers... so there! lol
I had just the right sized scraps of this particular design to puzzle-piece them back into a slightly smaller than A2 panel for Kim's Sketch #624. The pieces were 'stitched' together using a few stitching dies from an old EH set... wish you could see them better. Maybe this helps:
I'll share this pretty pattern-paper-covered card with Double D too! I love that they are
embracing patterned paper this month!
These sweet flowers are oldies but goodies from SSS this time cut from a creamy card. and look! another Betterpress-ed sentiment... I may need to press more as they sure were handy to have this week.
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!
