You Make My Day Card for Two Challenges

This card is for two challenges.

First, I've used the sketch at Sunday Stamps#248 here.

And then it's also for TGIF Challenge#299-Product Spotlight: Background Stamps, here.

I've used the Buffalo Check Background stamp.

The greeting is from one of the SAB offerings, the Berry Blessings stamp set. And that coordinates with the Berry Delightful DSP. I've also used the flower from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set.

Here's my recipe:

Papers: WW, Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Berry Delightful DSP

Inks: Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green

Buffalo Plaid Christmas Tree Card

 

I'm a huge fan of buffalo plaid so I had to make this card that I saw on Leah Dixon's blog here. I just changed it up to use my favorite color!

This Christmas card is also for The Spot#142 here. The colors to use are Black, White and a pop of color. I had to use my all time favorite-Real Red.

Banner Year and Buffalo Check Background are the stamp sets. It's hard to see but the WW piece was embossed with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder and the Real Red piece with the Subtle embossing folder. The tree was punched with the Pine Tree punch.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Banner Year and Buffalo Check background

Papers: WW, Black, Real Red

Inks: Black and Real Red

Hello Sunflower Card for Two Challenges

Here's a cute card for two challenges.

First, I've used the sketch at Sunday Stamps#236 here.

And then it's for the inspiration challenge at TGIF Challenge#275 here.
I saw this and thought of the Just Jade and Bumblebee pattern in the Flowers for Every Season DSP.

I added a strip of Just Jade stamped with the Buffalo Check background stamp and some Just Jade from the 2020-2022 In Color DSP.

This is my first try at no line water coloring, so I used the sunflowers from the Jar of Flowers stamp set.
It's not bad for my first try, but I shall keep practicing!!!

The greeting is from Best Year.
