Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers ~ Sketch 49, Card 2

Hi Crafty Friends,
Today I'm sharing my second design team card for the September BYSH sketch challenge #49.
I love backgrounds and patterned papers and this card has both.

I used a Spellbinders 3D embossing folder for the main background and Echo Park patterned paper for the floral accent.  The stitched scallop border is from Jaded Blossom and so is the stitched label.

You have until September 30 to play along with this month's challenge.

Just link your project to our Facebook Page HERE.

You'll find lots of inspiration on the Facebook page as well as our BYSH Blog HERE.

I hope you'll play along.

Sketch Saturday ~ Sketch#759 ~ Optional Twist: feature a sentiment

Hi Crafty Friends,
I hope you're enjoying playing along with the amazing sketches we have at Sketch Saturday.
For sketch #759 the optional twist is to feature a sentiment.
I used the sketch (shared below) to create an anniversary card for my daughter and son-in-law.I made all of the Save the Dates, Wedding Invites, favors, and table decorations for their rustic chic wedding.  So, for each anniversary (this is #6) I use left over bits from all of things I papercrafted for the wedding.  Here's their card for this year.

And, here's the sketch for your inspiration.  You'll notice that I changed the orientation.

I hope you'll play along.

Cut it Up Challenge #312 ~ What's in Your Garden

Hi Crafty Friends,
Our first September challenge at Cut it Up Challenges.#312 is "What's in Your Garden?"
This theme can have a variety of interpretations.  Some gardens have flowers, others veggies, or even birds and critters.  Let your creative imagination have fun with it.
I've used my Spellbinders Betterpress to create my card.

 

I used the Sealed Floral and Let's Chat Soon plates.  I pressed with Betterpress black ink and used my Zig Clear Color Real Brush pens to water color the image.  My die cut is from the Pinkfresh Studio Ornate Rectangle Frame set.

I hope you'll join our challenge.  Upload your project HERE.
