This first card is for three different challenges:
1. StampTV Color Challenge with Carla Suto (pink, blue and green)
2. Flourishes Kid's Play Challenge (be inspired by a kid's game)
3. MyGrafico (use Pastel Colors)
My colors are pastel pink, blue and green; I love this patterned paper -- my dauther used this paper to make an altered frame as a gift for a friend's new baby and it turned out so cute -- maybe you'd like to see it...
The sentiment is from Gina K. Designs' set Eclectic Summer Sayings and I received the flowers in some happy mail from a stampTv friend, Connie Legath. The digital image is from MyGrafico and I added pink pearls at opposite corners.
On to the Flourishes challenge -- can you guess which children's game inspired the card???? In checking out some of the other entries, I had a hard time and would not have known except for their explanation -- mine is probably much the same. We played a lot of badmitton in our back yard as kids; my inspiration was the "birdie"!
This card is for Our Creative Corner's challenge to use embossing. I cut out withoval nestabilites and embossed the inner oval; the bird and sentiment were heat embossed with Pearluster Amethyst embossing powder. Bird stamp is StudioG, available in Michael's $1 bin, the sentiment comes from My Sentiments Exactly!, Little Birdie. Hey, just noticed the name of that set goes along with the Badmitton challenge!! lol
Have a great day, my crafty friends!
