Ink Blended Pansy

Today's card was inspired by two favorite challenges. At Tic Tac Toe Challenge #245 Karren has a great board. I went with a diagonal of foliage, die-cutting and ink blended. I cut all of the elements out of white card stock and then used blending brushes to add color. 

Retro Rubber Challenge #229 has a tic tac toe board to work with. Their spring block led me to the volunteer pansies I have popping up all over my yard right now. I used die cuts, gems and Spring from their board. I used the Pansy Patch bundle from 2021.

I am a bit out of order and behind with Craft This Way's #30dayfarewellchallenge. This is my card for Day 14: I See Floral.

Ink Blended Flowers

I used blending brushes to add ink, using the challenge colors,  to the reverse of the flower stamp. These were stamped onto white card stock and then I stamped the outline stamp in black over top. As You See It Challenge #321 uses the colors Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, Bubble Bath and Daffodil Delight. The design of my card was inspired by the lines and spheres of cake pops from Inspired By #285. I added the bold sentiment for Craft This Way's #30dayfarewellchallenge for Day 17: I See Words.

Holy Quacamole

I made a fun birthday card using the Give it a Whirl Dies. I have used these dies many times, but never the parts that make the spinner part. Festive Friday Challenges #0157 has a Cinco de Mayo inspiration board. The elements I used are green, interactive, avocado and mustache. 

Craft This Way's #30dayfarewellchallenge theme for Day 22: I See Food and Drink also inspired my card.

Birthday Hugs

I have combined two Sunday challenges for my today's card. Stampin' Up! Only Challenge #349 is all about birthdays. Creative Colour Challenges #137 has Fresh Freesia, Pecan Pie and Pool Party to play with. I was a bit surprised on how much I liked the Pecan Pie with the pastel colors. The sketch is from Craft This Way's #30dayfarewellchallenge Day 19: I See a Sketch.
