Flowers & Pandas


Hello again!  It's been a looooong time since I've posted this many days in a row.  I'm really enjoying the extra time in the Craft Cave and just wish I could have it all the time.  If only I'd had one of those 3 winning lottery tickets...  Ah well, one can but dream!

I have two cards to share today.  First up is the colour challenge over at The Challenge.  I made a similar card for a CASology challenge but this one is a lot brighter and with a more relaxed font.  I Copic coloured the WPlus9 flower and popped it up on foam tape.  The Lawn Fawn letters were cut 3 times and stacked for added dimension.


Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (Textured White) Bazzill, (Smooth white) Papertrey Ink, (Night of Navy) Stamping' Up
Stamps:  (Flower from Doodle Buds) WPlus9
Inks:  (Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko
Dies:  (Louie's ABCs) Lawn Fawn
Markers:  (YR16, YR68, BG15, BG23) Copic
Gem: Doodlebug



Next is a card for the One Layer Simplicity "The sky's the limit" challenge and also for the AAA Cards glitter challenge.  I stamped the ballon in pink ink and then covered it with pink glitter (although it looks rather red here...) and I masked the string to make it a bit shorter.  I stamped the sentiment in blue ink since I didn't have a blue sky.  :)

That's it for me today but I'll see you tomorrow with more cards!


Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink
Stamps:  (Panda from Pandamonium, Balloon from Party Kit) Mama Elephant, (Sentiment from Rainbow & Cloud Sentiments) Lil' Inker Designs
Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Melon Mambo, Not Quite Navy) Stampin' Up
Glitter:  (Tourmaline) Martha Stewart
Gems:  Recollections

  2. You just carry on spending time in your craft cave; obviously your creative expression needs a 'voice' because you're designing a whole lot of 'fabulous'! I'm with you on the lottery wish! Your blue/white hello paired with the pop-of-colour flower: smile-maker! And your panda with his glittery balloon: super adorable! I think, between him and the elephant, you have the makings for two tags to share at Tag You're It...(hint, hint...yep, pestering *grin*).
    Hugs~c

  3. Two great cards, Jen! LOVE the rich blue on your first card, and you've rocked those colors. That little flower is so sweet on your card. And I do love that glittery balloon helping your sweet panda float up to new heights. Glad to see you spending tons of time in the craft cave; they've been really productive! Bev

  14. Using that Doodlebud flower as the O in your word is a great idea, Jen, and so colorful. It was a great way to use the colors. Color challenges are my most difficult, along with one layer ones, which you also managed to do and do well.
