Book Store

Today is one of my favorite days of the year! It is Independent Book Store Day, so I made this card to celebrate. We will be headed out by 9:00 am. This year we are doing the South Sound Book Crawl with 11 stores on the list. 

I knew I wanted to use the Let's Go Shopping Bundle and The board from Tic Tac Toe Challenge #246 had perfect elements to work from. I went with the bottom row of embellishments, patterned paper and die cuts.  

I made a Front Flap Accordion Fold card for Craft This Way's #30dayfarewellchallenge Day 26: I See a Fun Fold. Shout out to Stamps-n-Lingers for measurements and inspiration.

Fresh as a Daisy Circle Card

This card was inspired by TGIF Challenges #469. They have an Inspiration challenge. I was inspired by the colors and the butterflies. I was very interested in the gray butterflies so I pulled out Pebbled Path Ink and the stamps from the current Paper Pumpkin. I also wanted to incorporate circles for Craft This Way's #30dayfarewellchallenge Day 7: I See Shapes.

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.
