Good feeling to be back making some Cards


Thanks to a blogging friend Darnell - and her wonderful IDEAS prompt... I'm happy to be creating cards again.... this week is A for Anything Goes




My first card features soft blue and cream patterned paper as my background... as the panel was a little narrow for the card I added a matching smooched strip to one edge and used the other remnant for my sentiment. I watercoloured some die cut flowers (Sizzix - Small tattered floral) and added some white die cut foliage and a few blue pearls to finish.   I am joining in the challenge -- The Colour Hues Challenge #TCH83 : Cream & Blue
Honored to have my card mentioned in the Top Few...

My second card today is for the Beautiful Blossoms challenge #15 using the Mood board as inspiration ... lot so yellow.   Again I've used some patterned paper, stamped, watercoloured and fussy cut some flowers and leaves (Altenew - Modern Anemone) and attached them over the florals on the paper trimming the edges where they overlapped... finished with a stamped sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by my blog
Have a Wonderful Day
Cheers Robyn
