Hey y'all! I couldn't let a few challenges get by without making a card for them, so special Sunday post this weekend. Here's my card:
It's hard for me to get pictures in my craft room sometimes. If it's bright sun then I end up with harsh shadows, but if it's TOO cloudy then the colors come out wonky. For my super PINK card today, I used Polished Pink and Magenta Madness, with a wee bit of Pear Pizzazz thrown in. I've said it before, but when I first saw Polished Pink I thought UGH we do NOT need another PINK but having played with it now I do really like it :D
Three challenges today! Let's start with As You See It:
I drive past the tulip field every day so I almost said tulips, but then I started having thoughts of Japan and we have a cherry tree in our yard so I had to go with cherry blossoms! Which is handy given the inspiration challenge from Hand Stamped Sentiments:
OH YES! Aren't those gorgeous pictures? It was fun for me to stamp the cherry blossoms from the recently retired Butterfly Wishes in Polished Pink instead of doing something really delicate like the retired Pink Pirouette. Cherry blossoms do come in a variety of colors :)
Last up is the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:
I pre-ordered the handy dandy Basic Borders dies which made my card super easy to put together. Gotta love that!
Hope you have a great Sunday, y'all!
