tomorrow is a new day

 hello hello!

Another great challenge from Festive Friday - World Autism Awareness Day

The challenge was SO great in fact, that I used more than three items from the inspiration list on my card... I used SEVEN: bright colors, butterflies, rainbow, blue, patterned paper, ribbon, and square card!

Love how bright & cheery this card ended up!

I started with the cloud patterned paper. Then I die cut some rainbow strips using MFT rainbow die, matted them with black cardstock for definition before adhering the rainbow to the card.

I die cut the cloud (Mama Elephant) from some blue ombre patterned paper, stamped the sentiment (SSS), tied ribbon around the card front, then adhered the cloud to the card front with foam tape.

The smaller butterflies (SSS) were die cut from cardstock and adhered with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

hey foxy

I love working with challenges that take me outside of my comfort zone, and the CASology: Fox challenge was no exception...

my card was also made to work with the latest challenge at Festive Friday: International Women's Day (I used heart, glitter, female sentiment)

And here is my creation

This was so much fun for me to create because I NEVER design with critters... and I actually enjoyed watercoloring that cute little fox ;) I won't even tell you how many attempts it took to get one that didn't smear or bleed, but hey, practice makes better, right? LOL  I mixed several colors of distress oxide inks to get the color I wanted (wild honey, carved pumpkin, scattered straw). The stamp set is ancient... but I'm glad that I found it in my arsenal! 

Grateful for challenges that allow me to step outside of my comfort zone!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

thinking of you

Time for another Festive Friday challenge - #FF0056

I really like having this inspo list to work from, such a great challenge...
 concept!!! I loved pulling items together to create this card

From the inspo list, I chose to work with: books, numbers, ribbon, bugs/insects, and the color yellow.
Isn't it great when things just fall together? That's exactly what happened with this card!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
