Challenge cards

I had a New Year’s resolution of sorts to do more challenges this year and I’ve been hitting a few when I can.

This card is for the City Crafter Challenge: Shades of Green. Green happens to be my favorite color. I stamped the big flower from Friends ‘til the End (Papertrey Ink) in black on the Dotti Biscotti (Papertrey Ink) pattern paper.  The bling is nice and blingy in person.

Elegant Thank You

This card is for the Fourth Friday Fun challenge over at Paper Garden Projects.   I have 2 friends on the Design Team, Alyssa and Amber, and both are very talented ladies.  The challenge was keeping cool and a couple of brightly colored fish are pretty cool to me.

Let's Catch Up

Thanks for stopping by today!

    Oh wow. That first card is soooo clever and well designed Leigh Ann. Just plain perfect. And the second is adorable! Those fish are so full of color and look great on the dark blue BG, with the cork bottom!

    Both cards are fantastic, but I really like the first! Great way to focus on buttons, and thanks for showcasing that frame, I've had a hard time knowing what to do with it.
