Hello Friends ... Happy Sunday to you!!
Today I have a card to share that I created yesterday since hubby didn't need my help on our guest bathroom remodel. I looked on Paper Playful and found a few challenges that I thought would be fun to create for using their challenge themes.
Here's what I've created . . .
I started out by embossing a background white panel using the Creative Expressions 'Fanciful Flowers' 3D embossing folder (EF3D-043) and sponged around the edges using pink & purple TH distress oxide inks.
Next, I die cut a frame using the old Spellbinder Labels 17 dies from lavender card stock and ran it through using the same embossing folder for added texture. I used dimensional tape to add a little extra dimension to my card on this frame.
My focus flowers is a stamp & die set by Altenew. It's the 'Statement Flowers' set. I've used Tombow markers for my coloring and my sentiment is from the Creative Exprsesions 'Birthday' Wordies Sentiment Sheets. (CEW001). Nuvo crystal drops were also used for embellishment.
I'm very happy with the outcome and that's one more birthday card I can add to my sale boxes.
Here are the challenges that inspired me today:
Creative Knockouts Challenge #544 - Embossing Delight
Ellibelle's Garden Party No. 2 - Anything in or from a Garden
Just Us Girls Challenge #770 - Word Week - YOU
Seize the Birthday #303 - Layer It
Tic Tac Toe Challenge #268 - Using bottom row across
I hope you like what I've created and are having a fabulous weekend!
Our weather here in Ohio has been kind of gloomy & rainy but I just keep telling myself that warmer weather is right around the corner ... it will be here probably before I'm ready for it! LOL We had 7 yards of mulch delivered yesterday so as soon as those temps go up a bit more you know where you'll find me!
Thanks so much for taking the time and stopping by ... it's greatly appreciated!
As always . . .
