Sprouting 3

Hi! I’m here with 2 cards for CASology’s: Week 192:

 I made 4 cards today at the request of my mother who wanted some cards for co-workers who will be retiring soon. I posted the others separately.

Here’s my card:

  To make this card, I re-purposed a mask from this card here.

Stampin Up Sizzlits Little Leaves – Retired

As an afterthought, I made the stem by sponging some ink on a piece of Post-It Removable Labeling Tape and then trimming a very thin piece.

    We’ve been having some beautiful days here at our house! How about you? Is Spring springing at in your Northern Hemisphere locale?

Thanks for stopping by!

I am very happy toe share that this card was chosen by Ardyth for a Honorable Mention at CASology! Thanks, Ardyth!

P.S. Here’s a pic from today of some Pansies and Forget-Me-Nots on my patio.

Hi! I’m here with a card inspired by CASology’s: Week 192:

and Time Out’s inspiration photo for Challenge #54 Home Sweet Home:

I made 4 cards today at the request of my mother. She wanted some cards for co-workers who will be retiring soon. I’ll be posting the others separately. Here the one I have for you in this post:

I die cut the leaves out of some removable sticky label, masked off the side, did some ink blending and then stamped the sentiment.

I re-purposed the leaf mask for another card. You can see that one here:

I also stenciled on some white ink through the negative left by the die cut leaf. Can you see the white leaves?

Hi! I’m here with 2 cards for CASology’s: Week 192:

I made 4 cards today, at the request of my mother, who wanted some cards for co-workers who will be retiring soon. I’ll be posting the other 2 separately. Here’s the first of the 2 in this post:

For both of these cards, I die cut the leaves out of some removable sticky label, masked off the sides, did some ink blending and then stamped the sentiment.

     Here’s the second: (slightly different colors and a bit of water splattered on this one)

I’d like to play this second card along at One Layer Simplicity Challenge: OLS26: As You Wish April. (I realized after I linked this up that this is not technically one layer. I attached the white panel to a green card base! Sorry. 😦 )

Thanks for stopping by!

AAA Cards Game #62 – Anything Goes

I’m happy to be here today with a post for AAA Cards Game #62 – Anything Goes!

I have 2 umbrella cards, made with patterned paper, to share with you.

I printed out the umbrella images onto patterned paper and then fussy cut them out.

Here’s another fun umbrella card. This time, I stamped the sentiment in embossing ink on the bg.

I hope that you are inspired to play along. Make sure you stop by AAA Cards and visit all of the design team members blogs.

Thanks for stopping by!
Grace & Peace,
Melissa
