JUGS363 Leaves

This weekend we are finally getting a feeling of fall in the air. Love the colors of fall leaves, so added them to my card for the JUGS 363 challenge today.

C4C255 Leaves

I don't usually have a Saturday that I have at home, so it was fun to do a challenge I haven't done in a while, the Crazy 4 Challenges challenge. Today the challenge was to use leaves. I inked my Darice embossing folder with fall colors, spritzed it with water then ran it through my cuttlebug. Then I diecut some Spellbinder leaves, and got out my favorite sunflower stamp from Flourishes. To keep that rustic look that seem to be going on my card, I tied some unraveled jute for my bow.  Fall is my favorite of all the season. I love the rich colors and cooler weather.

CCEE1423

In honot of "Bank Holiday" in Ireland, we are doing a challenge here at CCEE using money or green. I didn't have any stamps that had anything to do with money, but I generated this Beatles' lyric on the computer thinking it might fit this challenge. Of course, I used lots of shades of green on this card. The card base was embossed with a Darise embossing folder that I had inked in various greens, but it didn't turn out where you could see it well. I added the Martha Stewart border and this little vine die cut from MFT. Hope you will join in on the fun over at CCEE this week.

Easter cross

This week I play\n to make cards with my entire cross stamp collection. I decided this would be a way to share my great love for my Lord and the amazing thing He did going to the cross to die for my sins. Be sure to come by all week to see what I have posted. I hope you are reminded of God's great love for you every time you see a cross. These azaleas are from the new Power Poppy Azalea set that just became available this month. My azaleas in my yard are about bloomed out, but I think these will help me enjoy azaleas all year long.  I colored them with copic makers. The cross is embossed with a Darice embossing folder and the background doily is a Spellbinder diecut.

Double the challenge Double the fun

This card is for the CAS challenge 215 for this week as well as the CAS=ual Friday Challenge #97. The CAS challenge was to use turquoise, pink, and celery. The CFC challenge was to use a chevron pattern and flowers. My chevron pattern is an embossing border from Darice, then I rub a turquoise pad across the embossed protion. It is a little shabby because of the extra ink that is on the white portion of the card. The sentiment is from Sweet and Sassy stamps.
