First card is for the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday challenge - Colorful Card Corners. I finally got some ink on the NBUS set Fancy That which seemed perfect for this challenge. I colored the medallion in the corner with copies and stamped the same image in Soft Stone for the rest of the background panel. In order to balance the heavy color in the corner, I matted the panel in coordinating Tropical Teal and aligned it so that the Teal was peeking out from the opposite side. The whole thing was then put on Smokey Shadow card base.
Linking this to Darnell's fun NBUS challenge.
My second card is for the new CASology cue word - Date. Lots of ideas came to mind but many of which could not come to reality because my stamp stash is lacking with the images I wanted. Now there's a great reason to buy more stuff! So I went with my original idea of date with a friend....
Been meaning to send my friend from grad school a little note to get together so this is perfect!
I stamped a bunch of arrows from A Few Pointers in several colors. Why arrows? In my mind I was imagining an arrow around a circled date on a calendar...didn't have a calendar stamp so just kept the arrows. Sentiment is from Special Delivery, another NBUS set.
That's all for me today. I'm glad that I've been able to keep up with one of my new year's resolutions which is create something everyday. Two days in a row now....good start! Lol.
Have a good one. Thanks for taking a peek!
Lovely card and great color palette!

ReplyDeleteYay, lovely corner gorgeousness!!! Great FUN date card!!! Thanks for joining us at CASology!!!
ReplyDeleteLove both of your cards. Thanks for reminding me to use Fancy That--love how it looks colored and just plain. And, your CASology card is a brilliant interpretation of the date. I hope that you enjoy your lunch date with your friend.
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent new year's resolution, Sherrie! Both of these creations are spectacular! I really love how you made a background of medallions for your medallion card and the way you offset the matting! And I think your arrows pointing to your sediment is inspired! It really makes the point (hahaha) of what you are saying and it's perfect for the CASology cue word!! Thank you very much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #3! Happy New Year!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done! Love the bright & bold corner stamp! I think we should all adopt your New Year's resolution!
