Color Throwdown #285

This week I decided to make a card using the color throwdown color scheme. This was a tough one for me. The card didn't turn out quite like I wanted it to.

Kraft love

I got together with my Aunt yesterday to make cards and whipped up these little cards in a couple of hours. I am the slowest card maker in the world. I found the idea on pinterest but tweaked it to make it my own style. I love how these turned out and they were really fun!

I used all Kraft card stock. Then I punched out strips with 10 different paper punches, inked them with versamark, layered them, and popped on a flower. 

Missing You

I wanted to make a special card for my Mom who lives 15 hours away. She was here for a week long visit and it was hard to see her go. Anyway, thanks to pinterest I found the perfect inspiration. The card is made from a giant dahlia stamp my Aunt had. We made this card together a couple of weeks ago when we were crafting together.

I chose this color because my Mom loves lavender and I wanted something soft and dainty.

Here is a link to the card my Aunt made. I love her cute card!

CAS(E) this Sketch #69

This week I chose to do the CAS(E) this sketch challenge. It worked out great because I needed some thank you cards and had an inspiration for this sketch. I love re-purposing old dictionary pages into card decorations.
 I made two in green.

 And two more in pink.

The last card doesn't match the sketch but I decided to upload it too.
