Challenge Cards

Hi Crafty Friends, I'm back sharing two more cards make specifically for card challenges. It's fun designing cards to meet the requirements of challenges other than my own design teams.  I'm getting new ideas and meeting new crafty friends in the process. This first card is for Jaded Blossom's March Challenge.   It's a color challenge along with using Jaded Blossom products.

I've used the Peacock stamp which is their spotlight stamp for this month.  I needed a sympathy card and this idea just sort of evolved.  I used Distress Oxides to create the background and then stamped and heat embossed the peacock using Gold Detail embossing powder.  I did add some Copic markers to the feathers.  The sentiment is from JB's Wishing You Comfort set.

My second card is for the Christmas Card Throwdown.  This week is a sketch challenge.

I used papers and die cuts from my stash although I know the die cuts are from La La Land Crafts.

The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Holiday Pampering set.

I think I share every week how excited I am to see my holiday card stash grow!
