I've been making even more cards this weekend, and making a huge dent in my scraps folder!! Yay, gotta be happy with that. I'm starting to get into the habit of making a card every time I finish a layout, and using up the bits and pieces on my scrap desk.
This one is for:
* The Pink Elephant ~ Challenge 26 ~ Recipe
Use three brads, one flower and designer paper.
* A Spoon Full of Sugar ~ Challenge 63 ~ "Floral fantasy"
Feature flowers in the card design
* Papertake Weekly Challenge ~ Four Seasons
Yellow reminds me of spring and sunshine and daisies.
This one is for:
* Basic Grey Challenges ~ Challenge 1 ~ Sketch by Tara.
I used patterned paper from the Basic Grey 'Marrakech' 6x6 paper pad. The scalloped piece is from my Basic Grey offcuts folder, probably 'Phresh & Phunky' but it could be one of the other discontinued ranges.
* Cuttlebug Challenges ~ Be Inspired #43 ~ Digital stamps.
I used my Swiss Dots embossing folder, and I chose the frame from MlamarreDesigns digital stamps. Check the Cuttlebug Challenges blog for details on how to get hold of some for free. I left the sentiment blank so I can add something when I decide who the card is for.
