My first card was inspired by this Bike Print from the Inspiration Challenge over at Split Coast.
I used a vintage biker stamp from Rubbernecker for my image as well as a dotted dirt stamp. (which I think I stamped a little too often now that I'm looking at it! - whoops!) The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. I sponged on the colors with my blending tool from Ranger. It's always good to have a masculine birthday card on hand!
My 2nd card was made for the Featured Stamper challenge and I chose Pam's (pamshobby) I{heart} Hearts card to CASE.
I'm working on Valentine's for a sale at my church so I was glad to have this inspiration for a new design!
I made my card 4 1/4" x 4 1/4", used one big heart from Waltzingmouse instead of several smaller hearts and used a funky Glitter Eyelash yarn from Martha Stewart rather than a red ribbon. I love how it just sticks out all over the place! The yarn is tied around the card - pulled through a hole in the heart and tied in a bow.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
