Well, once again, it's been a few days since I've been stamping - I'm trying to keep a little balance in my life - so that's where I've been. But, of course, the various challenges out in blog land keep calling me back!
Today I have answered two challenge calls:
First up is a card I made for the PTI Make It Monday - Dawn McVey showed us how to blow drops of ink from reinkers across the card to make some funky designs! This is also for the CAS-ology Cue Card - Care. My sympathy sentiment is from Everyday Classics (a special set I got from PTI for ordering way too many stamp sets one year!) and I used SU colors of Soft Sky and Barely Banana reinkers. I have to say - I 'blew' about 4 trials before getting a design I liked!
My next card was created using the Less is More Sketch. I used this wonderful embossed edge Tag Die from PTI that I just purchased - along with these wonderful summertime stamps from Waltzingmouse. The sentiment is cut with Spellbinders Ribbon Banners.
I hope you'll stop by tomorrow - I'll have a Something Old - Something New post for Creations by AR - using an older template in a new way - I think you'll like it!!
