I have a couple of cards to share today. This first one was inspired by the CAS(E) this Sketch #65, Color Throwdown #280 and Seize the Birtthday Anything Goes challenges.
I thought the sketch was perfect for using these Elizabeth Crafts candles dies I picked up last fall when visiting my parents in Victoria. I used white cardstock and inked the candles after they were die cut.
This next card combines the Card Concept Challenge #4: Use a Floral Theme with Wplus9 Birthday Celebration Week 3: Trend Watch.
I tried my hand at a Clean & Layered card using Fresh Cut Florals and a few Memento VersaMagic inks.
For the Trend Watch, I used a little piece of washi tape to ground my mason jar and a number of sequins scattered throughout the bouquet.
I love that these iridescent sequins take on the colors around them.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jacquie
LOVE both of your cards, Jacquie! Those candles are so fun and your mason jar filled with flowers is very pretty and creative!!
ReplyDeleteJacquie, your card is so GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI love those big funky candles, Jacquie, but I love the sentiment even more. Who is it by?
ReplyDeleteIt's a PTI sentiment from Stylish Sentiments: Birthday stamp set - very easy to mask and use multiple colors :)
