Sunday Crafting

Hello!

I hope you have been enjoying your weekend :)  I didn't get much time to craft but did squeeze in a few cards for current challenges.

First up is my card for this week's CASology with the cue card - Wood.

 
I gold embossed a circular woodgrain stamp from Hero Arts.  I stacked the die cut circle up with 4 or 5 layers to make it a bit more chunky.  The lovely bird die cut is from Penny Black and sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I used a gold krylon pen round the edge of the white card.  I love a black and gold colour combo and think it works well for a sympathy card.  I will also link up with Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge which is Anything Goes.
 
I have also made a card for The Card Concept's current challenge with a baby theme.  I used this sweet panda stamp from There She Goes which, unfortunately, is no longer available:
 
 
I die cut the heart and popped it up over some patterned paper.  The sentiment is from one of my all time favourite sets by Papertrey Ink.  A few enamel dots to finish.  Simple!
 
I hope you like these cards.  I'll be back soon once I have had the chance to make something else to share :)
 
Happy crafting!
