A couple of cards for One Layer Wednesday. Susan set the challenge for us to make a card using circles. Now when I first saw the challenge I immediately thought of my PTI set Dot Spot. A super fun set full of circles within circles. Then I thought of the really neat Hero Arts stamp I have called Large Artsy Circle. But then I thought to myself "geez... get outside your box, Rosemary, and think of something else"! So then my thoughts drifted to a sweet Memory Box stamp called Bramble Wreath and to the cute Hero Arts stamp Bicycle. So I made two cards.
The first card uses the Bramble Wreath stamp and a stamp of my favorite saying. I used this week's color combo from Splitcoaststampers of Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake & Black.
For the second card I stamped the bicycle image using the Hero Hues ink, Grass. A yummy, juicy and oh so springy color. I colored the basket and teeny tiny flowers with Koh-i-Nor pencils. The sentiment is from the PTI set Everyday Button Bits.
Thanks for taking a peek....

Two great cards Rosemary! That wreath is beautiful and so perfect for a CAS card like this.
ReplyDeleteI just love the natural look of your first card. I've been eyeing up that bike image for a while now, love it in the green:)

Really cute! I adore that bicycle in green!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Rosemary! That bramble wreath reminded me a bit of an Easter card, kind of similar to a crown of thorns image. Cool stamp.
ReplyDeleteI love the bicycle stamp...especially in green! I am getting that stamp for Mother's Day and I can't wait! (I know this because I bought it with my 40% off coupon at Michael's, then gave it to my DH and told him to give it to me for Mother's Day!).
Great cards!
Both your cards are beautiful, Rosemary! The first is understated and lovely! And your bike card is wonderful - I love the fresh green and terrific CAS design!
ReplyDeleteLove them both, Rosie! Hope you have a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day to you! :)
ReplyDeleteRosemary, both cards are just fab! The first card is subtle. And the second card is just plain FUN!
ReplyDeleteI think both cards are just fab! I love the simplicity of the first with such a lovely sentiment. And the bike is such fun - love the splash of colour with the flowers in the basket!
