Flower Power at Inky Impressions

Hi there fans and followers and a Wednesday welcome to you.  We have two things going on today and two posts - a busy day.  Let start with the new challenge at Inky Impressions. Flower Power is the theme this week and that can mean lots of things - a beautiful flower stamp or image, tons of flower embellishments, pretty floral papers, etc on your cards and projects. We want to see them all!

 

I went with an image that has flowers on it, floral papers and a punched flower embellishment on my card to fit the theme.  The image is Angelica's Bunny Hugs and it's on sale right now in the Inky Impressions Store.

I used this beautiful layout from Card Patterns for my card design. I was so inspired after seeing this and the design team samples using it. Thanks for the inspiration ladies! I'm entering my card in their challenge this week.

Now pop on over to Inky Impressions Challenge blog and see the creativity of all the Inkettes - you'll love what you see there.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sugar Creek Hollow - Masculine Cards

It's a beautiful Saturday morning here and another Sugar Creek Hollow challenge.  This week we're looking for masculine themed cards.

Create a card in vintage or shabby chic style with a masculine theme and enter the challenge this week!

 I used Stampin Up! Artifacts stamp set - an older one that I love for masculine cards.  I created the sentiment that is the focal point of my card on my computer.  I thought it was good sentiment for a retirement card.  Lot's of dry embossing on this for the rich textures I was trying to achieve.  Tell me what you think.

Be sure to hop over to Sugar Creek Hollow and see the design team's card inspirations this week - they are terrific.

I'd like to enter this card in the male theme card challenge this week at Crazy 4 Challenges C4C102.
