Multiple Cards for Multiple Challenges


Hello everyone. Hope your weekend is going well. So far so good here, even had some sun today but tomorrow we're supposed to see some showers. I actually played in my room most of the day, which is just the way I like it!! lol I worked on cards again, but hopefully I'll be able to spend some time in there tomorrow and work on some layouts. The first card here is for 3 challenges, all birthday themes. The challenges are for Birthday Sundaes, anything goes; More Than Favors, birthday anything goes, and Celebrate the Occasion, anything goes with a flower. I used Recollection cardstock for the card base, and both mats. The pp is from DCWV Celebration stack which is perfect for birthdays. The sentiment mat was cut with my new Nestabilities die. The elephant stamp was one I found in the dollar bin at Michael's and with "Water for Elephants" getting ready to come out, I couldn't resist!! If you haven't read the book, you need to, and of course, see the movie! I colored it with my Stampin' Up water color pencils and added Stickles to the balloons and the hat was colored with a Martha Stewart's glitter marker. The ribbon is from Michael's, the flower is a sticker from Walmart, and the buttons were from my stash. I used some embroidery floss from my stash too. The sentiment stamp is from a Scrappy Mom's stamp set.
This second card is for challenges over at Cricut Cardz and Paper Cutz and was created with Bazzil cardstock for the base, pp from DCWV, and Recollections for the bottom half of the mat and to create the basket, eggs, grass, and bunny peeps which all were cut with the Doodle Charm cartridge. I used my Martha Stewart fringe scissors to create the grass. The basket was run through the Cuttlebug with the Herringbone embossing folder. I then tied a piece of bakers twine from the Twinery on the handle. I used a Marvy marker for the eyes on my peeps and the stitching. I used my white Gelly Roll pen on two of the little eggs and a glitter pen on the other. The ribbon is from Michael's and the sentiment stamp is from Scrappy Mom's. Well, thanks for stopping by and I hope you like my cards. Take care!
