New Backgrounds

Just a couple more cards I made today using some of my new background stamps.

This first one uses the gorgeous Background Basics: Medallions from PTI and is for Viva La Verve's Sketch #4 for March, CC367 to use Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip and River Rock and for Free For All #109 to use three or more of the same thing - well I have 3 coffee cups! Love how this one came out!

And my final card for today is for Waltzing Mouse's Sketch Challenge #90 which I turned on its side, Lilypad's Challenge to use flowers, Papertake Weekly Bingo Challenge (I used flowers, buttons and the free slot to use ribbon) and for Play Date Café's Challenge #124 to use these colours. I totally LOVE this houndstooth pattern background - this is another I know I will use loads as well!

Here's Play Date Cafe's inspiration piccy.

And here's my card.

Butterflies Abound

Just a couple of butterfly cards I made today.

This first one is for Stampin' Royalty's Challenge #116 for the sketch and ColourQ's Challenge #129 to use these gorgeous colours. I finally got my PTI order this week, so had to have a play with my new goodies and I love this anniversary set and new background medallions set as well. I can see me using this one A LOT!

Here's the inspiration piccy from ColourQ.

And here's my card for it.

And my other butterfly card uses another new PTI set. This time it's Beautiful Butterflies. I didn't think I would need any more butterfly sets, but just had to have this one and the matching dies! This one is for Mojo Monday Challenge #233 for the sketch, Cute Card Thursday's Challenge #209 Anything Goes and Color Throwdown Challenge #184 to use these colours. Not sure about this one - I kind of like it and kind of don't, but not sure what else it needs! Oh well, can't love them all!

Here's CTD's piccy.
