A quick post from me with a few cards for challenges. I have taken a brief break from Christmas cards :)
I love the fresh colour combo for this week's Less Is More Challenge and decided to softly ink through a Memory Box die in Tumbled Glass as a background for a lovely dragonfly die cut from Clearly Besotted. The dragonfly is two layers which have a nice shimmer created with aqua and white/silver shimmer sprays. The sentiment from PTI is stamped in Hero Arts Tide Pool.
Eta - I also meant to link this up at Addicted to CAS where the code word is Dots!
Next up I wanted to make a card to play along with Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge which is a sketch. Here is what I came up with:
I used my Waltzingmouse woodgrain stamps and a fave sentiment from Uniko Studio. I thought that the grey and teal combo would be good for a boy's card. Here is the sketch - my card is a fairly literal interpretation.
I hope you like them! Thanks for your visit - I really appreciate it :)

Love your dragonfly card, Sarah .. so delicate and serene! I have this die on my CB wish list ... and can feel my resistance weakening! The crisp, graphic lines of your chevron card are fabulous! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI love the dragonfly card - the colours are so serene and lovely. I love this dragonfly die - it's one of my favourites. The chevron card is totally awesome - perfect for a guy card.
ReplyDeleteTwo really beautiful cards, Sarah! I love your dragonfly paired with the PTI sentiment and the color combo on your 2nd card is stunning! Loving those woodgrain chevrons :)
ReplyDeleteYour dragonfly card is beautiful. It has such a calm, peaceful feel to it.

I love the soft background with your delicate dragonfly, Sarah, and the chevron card is a great msaculine color combo.
ReplyDeleteLove your soft blue dotty background Sarah! Such a pretty backdrop for your beautiful dragonfly. Thanks for joining us at ATCAS.
ReplyDeleteI think both your cards are just fabulous. The colours are cool and crisp. I think the butterfly is lovely on the first card. And the chevrons are a great take on the sketch. Thanks so much for playing along with Waltzingmouse Fanatics!
ReplyDeleteLovely card designs, super background to your dragonfly, and the chevron stamped card is a great colour combination choice, one for the boys. Love how you have interpreted the sketch. Thanks for joining in with the Waltzingmouse Fanatics.
