This ever happened to you?
I had gotten up early this morning so I went down to clean up the desk and try to salvage my projects. When I was done, the rain had stopped, the sun came out and I felt better because I had two finished cards - my personal rainbow after the storm!
First card was for the 2nd year anniversary celebration at Fusion challenge. Congrats Fusion challenge team on two years! I don't get to play with you often but am always inspired by your challenge.
I sponged some Tim Holtz Mustard Seed for a portion of a Heidi Swapp chevron stencil. I layered a big bold bloom from PTI Friendly Flowers along one corner trying to keep the sketch in mind. Sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.
My second card is inspired by the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge. I have been wanting to use the new PTI green Vintage Jadeite and paired it with a masculine color palette of Terracotta Tile, Enchanted Evening, and Kraft to create this thank you card for my daughter's male teacher at the end of the year.
Thanks for letting me vent. Hope you guys are having a better weekend creatively than I did! :)
Sherrie, I have had those days, too! So frustrating! I'm glad your second round worked out...these two cards are both fabulous in my book!
