Bright and Cheery Birthday Card

Hi, The card I have to share with you today is made using

a lot of the things that came in the last Stamp of Approval box.

I made the center panel using the stencil that came in the SOA box and

embossing paste.  Then I colored it with Catherine Pooler inks.  I stamped the flowers using the same inks and then die cut them with the matching dies,

all the stamps and dies were also in the SOA box.  

This card also follows one of the row at the

House That Stamps Built - Tic-Tac- Toe challenge.

Center row down is my card.

Well that's it, I hope you like my card.

Challenges entered:

Hi here is a super quick post.

Over at The House that Stamps Built they are having challenge

to use food or drink on your card.

Here is the card I came up with.  The wine bottle and glass is 

a stamp from Rubbernecker Stamps it is a really cool stamp that gives it a watercolor effect, check it out HERE. The sentiment is from Repeat Impressions.  Papers are from a Paper House stack.

Well, I cut myself real close to the deadline on this one (just 15 minutes to go) so I better get this posted.

Wood Plank Card

Hi, hope everyone is having a great day!

I saw this technique a few weeks back on 

The House that Stamps Built blog. Every Thursday

they feature a Project of the week and this technique was

one of those projects  Plank Background .

It looked easy enough to do and produced a great result.

So here is my card I made using this technique to make my 

background plank paper.

I added a panel which I embossed with a wood-grain pattern. 

I actually created this card following one of the sketches for the

Monthly Sketch Challenge over at the Crafting Circle.

The challenge runs the whole month of March so you still

jave plenty of time to hop on over and join in.

The sentiment I made up (I know kind of corny) and wrote using my Cricut Explore.

Here is what the inside looks like also written with the Explore.

So that's it, that my card for today.

Have a great weekend!
