Flowers Galore

I completely missed my crafting time yesterday as I had a hair appointment (and had about 6 inches cut off and I love the new look!), so tried to make up for it a bit today and had a bit of a marathon session.

This first card is for The Sweet Stop's Sketch #174, Cute Card Thursday's Challenge #232 to include some sewing (I did some cross-stitching by hand on the panels of DSP) and for Play Date Café's Challenge #147 to use these colours - what a cute little birdie that is. I didn't like these colours at first - thought there were too many drab colours, but this turned out to be a fantastic combo! Love the splash of bright pink against the muted, not drab, colours!

And here's my card.

And my final card for this post is for Papertake Weekly's Challenge to use one of their old sketches - I used Sketch #37 which had a nice big panel so I could use one of my new Saturated Canary stamps, F4A132 to make a birthday card and CC390 to use Lucky Limeade, Rich Razzleberry and Daffodil Delight.
