I was also on vacation for the last week and missing crafting while I was gone. So now, I have two cards that I made for challenges, and here is the first one. I did this one for the Dynamic Duos challenge for this week, which is DD#66 Pool Party and Black and a neutral color.
I used a white base, with a black layer and then a layer of Ocean Mist paper from Gina K. The Ocean Mist layer was embossed with a new folder called geometric rings. I fussy cut the bottom out of the rings to make a scallop edge. I used a Nestability die in black and in the center, placed a very large button, in Ocean Mist. Topped that off with some ocean mist ribbon and black and white baker's twine. The sentiment is from Gina K, Tag Lines.
The next card was done for CASology #58
This challenge was Paper. So When I saw these cute paper clips, I just thought a friends card would be perfect. I added the smiley face as an after thought and I like how this turned out.
Appreciate any comments, and thanks for looking.
Welcome Back! And Good Luck with your Craft Fair! GREAT cards, love the dies and the texture on your DD entry.....and those paper clips are super cute! Good Luck on the Challenges....hope you win!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good wishes, Donna. I haven't won in awhile, but it feels good to be back creating, even without a prize. It is hard competing against you and Sharyn. Lol
DeleteGlad you're back! Hope you had a great vacation. Both cards are so cute. I love the die on the first card, and I have that embossing folder. Isn't it fun! I really like the paper clips too......so cute. Good luck with the challenges and with your craft fair.
