Hello! Popping in today with two cards for several different challenges. Both cards ended up being very clean and simple and birthday cards. Let's have a look at the first one.
This card is for
Freshly Made Sketches and
Color Throwdown. I wanted to use some of my stash that hadn't been out in a while. I pulled out the Simon Says Stamp Fab Flower die set and to my surprise I had a set of the solid and outline flowers in brown in the envelope! With that I had a start on this card. I die cut the flowers from Hero Arts Peony Pink cardstock and another flower from PaperTrey Ink Dark Chocolate and then layered the flower as you see on the card. Pulled out my oldie, but goldie Swiss Dot embossing folder for the background. The sentiment is one from the EZ Strips Birthday stamp and die set from Simon Says Stamp. I thought it would be fun to attach the sentiment as you see and I'm glad I did. I really like it. I added gems to the center of the flowers. The gems are dark brown and pink, but only the brown one looks brown. I adhered the panel to my cardstock base and I was done!
Again, I used an older product on this card, the Simon Says Stamp Deco Heart die set. I had some scraps of cardstock in shades of blue on my desk so I used those for the heart. Just like the first card I didn't want a plain background so I pulled out the Simon Says Stamp Blossom Swag embossing folder to add the interest. I placed the heart on its side inside the swag and then added the sentiments, also from the EZ Strips Birthday stamp and die set. Those two products are really getting a work out, lol! I really like how this card turned out.
Well, that is it for me! Thanks for stopping by and have a wondeful day!

Two fantastic cards, Rosemary! Love the polka dotty background on the first and the pretty embossed background on your JUGs entry. Thanks so much for playing along this week!
Such pretty cards! The polka dots are a perfect base for the sweet flowers. Thanks for playing along with us at FMS this week.
Love the texture on both cards, Rosemary! And the fun flower trio on card one makes a great take on the sketch!! Love, love, love the turquoise heart on card two!!
These are both so pretty! I love the embossed backgrounds, which add so much to the designs. That heart is gorgeous and I love how you used it for a birthday card. Thanks for playing along with us at JUGS!
What a happy surprise to everything already cut - and then they work beautifully with the sketch! Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
