A trio of cards for a trio of challenges!

Happy weekend eve, my friends! I have a few cards for you today - they couldn't be any more different!

First up a little tweetie for Freshly Made Sketches #669 by Narelle!  Hopefully she will see that the head and body represent the two circles at the top right? ha!



Isn't he a cutie?  I found this card base just waiting for him in my snippets box!
SSS: Layered Berry Bird cut from watercolor cardstock and colored with these Ohuhu markers:
 

My second card is for Color Hues #102 Navy and Lime - I have had my eye on this Altenew Balloon Flower for a while!


The hardest part of layered inking is keeping the top ink from blending.
I dried my layers this time, but it didn't seem to help much.
My friend and DT member Marcia influenced the argyle embossing [Spellbinders: Argyle Socks] on the left - thanks, sweet friend!


Last one!  Just another gorgeous Betterpress plate I added to my Christmas stash - yes, I am continuing to add to my Senior cards for 2025 so there is never a question of making just one!  This particular card will be sent over to Christmas Kickstart #94: Bring on the Baubles!  His baubles are tiny but really do make him festive!  The baubles were treated to a bit of sparkly Stickles!


Spellbinders: Dashing Reindeer on white BP cardstock; Hemstitched Rectangle Frame



This one is pressed on cream BP cardstock and framed by using one of my old EH Essential Rectangle dies.  BTW these are the BP inks I've used in case you're wondering.


I'm slowly getting back to a rhythm around here - it feels great!  hmmm I'm already wondering if you're tired of me again? lol
