Pretty Little Flowers

Just a few flowery cards I made today to finish up all the Hope You Can Cling To Challenges. I must get my box made up this week and sent off to the MD Andersen Center in Texas, which is where all these Hope cards are going to help raise money towards cancer research and care.

This first card is for a ton of challenges! Hope You Can Cling To #17 to use paint, A Passion for Papertrey's colour challenge to use peach, green and brown, Make It Monday's Challenge #39 to build a background using multiple stamps and colours, for Cupcake Craft Challenge #166 to use leaves and for SC357 for the sketch! Phew! I just got my new Spring Moss ink last week and it is such a gorgeous colour. I didn't have this one in the old inks, so can't compare it, but it's luscious. Can't wait for all the other PTI inks to come out now! (I got Aqua Mist too, but not tried that one yet!).

My next card is for Hope You Can Cling To Challenge #31 to use a style that is not your own - well CAS cards are definitely NOT me, so I thought I'd go with one of those and this one still took me forever to do! I used the gorgeous colour palette from Play Date Cafe's Challenge #106 to use pink, yellow and grey. This is colour swatch from their challenge.


And this is my card for it.

My final card for this post is for Hope You Can Cling To Challenge #30 to use frilly paper ribbon - I even impressed myself on this one! I pleated some DSP and then stitched the pleats down with my sewing machine! First time ever! Might develop a thing for sewing on cards now I've got the hang of my machine! This one is also for Colour Create's Challenge #83 to use Turquoise, Hot Pink and Ivory (although there's not much ivory!), Friday Mash Up's Challenge #31 to use heat embossing (my sentiment circle is heat embossed) and/or make a thank you card and for Viva La Verve's Sketch #1 for November.

And that's all for this post. Thanks for stopping by

  2. Wow! You fulfilled lots of challenges! Great job on all of them! I am a big fan of the CAS cards; they are (usually) fast to make and they still make people happy. Well done!

  6. Wow, what a busy little bee you've been! All stunning cards Vanessa - so many pretty details.
    Love your colour challenge card - have ordered the new inks myself but not got them just yet - the old one is really "smushy" very hard to get a crisp impression so very excited about SM and AM in particular.
    Thanks for playing along at APassion For Papertrey.
