I haven't been keeping up with the challenges very well the last week or so. I've been wanting to, but life keeps getting in the way. Ah! At least I have a life and I'm thankful for that.
Anyway, last night, I snuck away and did not just one, but two cards. It was fun too!
This one is for a friend, who was chosen for a full time position at the library where I used to work. I'm so delighted for her and for the library. They're a perfect match!
The layout is from retrosketch this week. I tipped it over though. I really love the simplicity of these sketches and wish I could play every week.
For card number 2, I used the WT377 challenge at SCS last week to use the negative of a die or punch. I punched this flower with the new Blossom punch and attached a piece of that bright and beautiful Summer Smooches DSP behind it.
The challenges for both of these cards are...
Dynamic Duos to use Real Red and Island Indigo
Less is More to use Red, White and Blue in honor of the Queen's Jubilee
Paper Players where Jaydee challenged us

This will go to my friend whose birthday is Independence Day. I love having a red, white and blue card to give her.

Pretty cards Bonnie! I especially love the embossing. So glad you played RetroSketches this week!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fantastic, Bonnie! Love the clean design and the scored lines on the first card really pop! Thanks so much for joining us this week at the Paper Players! :)
ReplyDeleteIt IS nice when challenges all fall into place, especially when stamping time is very limited. You get good exposure all at once. :)
ReplyDeleteI like that top card, especially, with the little 3D flower pot. So cute!
