Sweet Floral Thinking of You

I have a bunch of paper from the Graphic 45 Baby to Bride collection. This is very feminine paper with lots of pretty, delicate designs. It was a perfect choice for the latest Waffle Flower Challenge which has these same colors in it. I used a Spellbinders die to cut the scalloped shape on the right which also matches the shape of the rug in the inspiration photo. 

The layout comes from Operation Write Home sketch #254.

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is Anything Goes, so this card will be entered there as well.

The sentiment is from Hero Arts Everyday Sayings and the ink is Wild Wasabi from Stampin' Up. 

Birthday CASE

The STAMPlorations blog had a March challenge that was to CASE a card from their design team.

I gave it a try and this is the result:

I CASED this card from Deepti. Just like her I used striped paper for the the background and a tag as the focal element. I used a bird instead of a butterfly and used leaves like her too.

It was a fun challenge and a great way to use the Baby to Bride paper from Graphic 45. The tag I used came with the paper. I added walnut ink around the edges. It was harder to control then distress ink, I used a bird punched from the Stampin' Up Bird Builder and some leaves from my stash.

The birthday sentiment is from Inkadinkado, and qualified this card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week which is Birthday Cards.

The pastel colors in this card qualify it for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.
