Brighten - Color Challenge #1

My Favorite Things Color Challenge this week looks like this:

And it was indeed a challenge for me, but I came up with two cards for it. Here's one using MFT's Watt's Up Stamp Set and the large frame die (with stitches) from Blueprints 15.

My base is the light gray, along with the metallic die-cut sentiment and silver embossing. The darker gray is part of the bottom sentiment, and the blue frame is included as well.

Because of You...

This week's Sketch Challenge at the My Favorite Things Blog looks like this:

And here's my take on it using MFT's Watt's Up stamp set.

Mother's Day and Graduation

I needed a Mother's Day card that I could create fairly quickly because time was getting away from me. For inspiration, I went to this post from Ink to Paper and CASED the beautiful card there...

Here's my take on it using several Flower Fusion stamps, Sending Love, and Think Big stamps from PTI. The stems were a challenge, but I managed with a stem from Springtime Doodles. 

In addition, I've made a couple of graduation cards this week as well:

Gratitude

"Due to the Coronavirus, many of us are separated from our family and friends which in some cases has caused feelings of loneliness, boredom, depression, and maybe a bit of frustration being stuck at home! This is the perfect time to reach out and touch someone to let them know how important they are to you or to let someone in your community know how much you appreciate all of their hard work. With that in mind, Project: Reach Out was created." - Ink to Paper Blog
