Mornin' y'all! I got some new SU! goodies over the weekend, but they're mostly Christmas-related and I am not ready to be done with fall and Halloween yet so I've been playing with some other stuff. I have two cards to share today, so I'm going to share the first one, then the challenges, and then the second one. Here we go.
I saw the new challenge at SOS Challenges to use birds or feathers and couldn't resist playing with Bird's Eye View. Next up is the CAS challenge from the Paper Players:
And I thought I could put a tag on the Inspire. Create. sketch in place of the greenery:
For some reason I really wanted to play with Summer Splash yesterday, so I made that color the main focus of the card. Then I started to worry that maybe my card wasn't CAS enough for the Paper Players challenge, so I made a second one, still with Summer Splash but this time focusing on Peach Pie:
I've never been much of a peach person before but Peach Pie is the first of this year's In Colors that I had to buy a whole pack of cardstock for because I was using up the variety pack so fast. (Pretty in Pink doesn't count because I already had that color from the first time it was in the lineup.) Anyway, for this one I used several elements from the first card, but made my tag (and bird) smaller and only did one pattern for the strip going across the card front. I actually used up most of the 6x6 sheet of DSP that I used for yesterday's pumpkin pie card, I have a 1/2" strip left : )
That's it for me today, peeps. We're going to take Ryan to another martial arts studio tonight so he can try out a class; we're trying to find something that was similar to what he was doing in Texas. So we'll see how that goes. Cheers, y'all!
