A few last minute cards!

Hello!

I hope your week has been a good one.  I wanted to link up to a few challenges before we set off on our holidays.

Firstly, the cue card at CASology is Rainbow.  I have gone for a very literal interpretation:




The challenge gave me the perfect excuse to play with my new Paper Smooches rainbow die which I inlaid in to the card and added a bit of Wink of Stella.  I added a few clouds cut from glitter paper and a fun sentiment from Mama Elephant. I will also link this up with the Anything Goes challenge over at Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge.

My next card is using the lovely colours from the Card Concept:





This is one of my favourite colour combos!  I stamped and white embossed the beautiful butterflies from Uniko Studio and used Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers and Shabby Shutters Distress Inks in the background.  A sentiment from Altenew to finish.

I will also link up with Less is More and Addicted to Stamps which have Anything Goes Challenges at the moment.  I will also play along with Uniko Studio's Anything Goes Challenge too!

Thanks for stopping by!

    Two great cards but I'm especially loving the butterfly one - the background you created is just gorgeous and the black really stands out against it :) Thanks for playing with us this week at Addicted to Stamps and More!

    Two fabulous cards Sarah. Love the inlaid technique with your rainbow and the wink of stella adds a wonderful shine. Love the sponging of your butterfly cards. Lovely mix of colors and perfect to show off those beautiful white embossed butterflies. Thanks for joining us at ATS&M.

    How are you getting such stunning cards made before setting off on holiday??? Your a machine!! I would be up to my eyeballs in lists of what to pack etc. I'm so jealous of your rainbow die. Its cut perfectly into your card and love the glittery clouds. And those colours on your second card blend beautifully together. I love this combo too!! Have a good holiday!!

    Two great cards, Sarah. The embossed butterflies are really lovely on the inked background and the glitter clouds with the shimmery rainbow is so perfect.
