Colorful Sunburst Style Card

Hey there.  Here's another colorful card for Virginia's View Challenge.  This was a fun technique for me to pick up.

I used stamps from Choose Happiness by Technique Tuesday to create this fun look.  I used washi tap to make my sections, and then stamped away.  I am loving the https://www.clearsnap.com/pigment-cat-s-eye-queue- because of their small size.  They made it easy to color the stems yellow, with the blooms yellow.  I am loving using small stamps to create backgrounds also.  

Thanks for reading.  Have a fabulous day!

Colorful Card

Hey there!  I have noticed several different card making blogs hosting weekly or monthly challenges, so I decided to stretch my skills a bit and participate in a few often.  They also have sweet prize packs if you win (some are random drawings, others are judged), so I figured, why not?

Virginia is encouraging us to try working with lots of color in different ways for this month's card.  I made a couple cards that fit this category.

I found some fun stamps from their Splash of Color line on clearance for $3 a set at Michaels.  I snatched them up, and am glad they did.  The paint splotches and splatters totally screamed "All about color for me."  This was a fun one, and it stretched my creativity a bit.

Create a Scene Card Challenge

Hello there!  Yes, it's been awhile...ok years!  I had another baby (who will be 2 in October---what!?!), and decided blogging was totally out of the picture.  It probably still is, but I thought I would start posting cards I make every now and then.  I found that while sewing and other crafts often take more time and effort than I can do right now, card making is something quick and simple I usually can make time for as a mom of two little ones.  I am posting this card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges.  I love challenges because they give me a chance to stretch my skills.

 

This week was "Create a Scene."  I don't often create scenes with my cards, so it took me a minute to come up with something.  I finally went with this simple sleigh card.  I generally stick with very simple and clean looking cards.  I guess my mind's been on the several "Christmas in July," posts and sales in the industry lately!  Or maybe I am wishing for cooler temperatures than our 100+'s around here. :)  

The paper is from assorted American Crafts Textured Cardstock packs.  The sentiment is from this Technique Tuesday stamp set, and the gift is from this Technique Tuesday stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a fabulous day!
