Happy Dad's Day

Festive Friday Challenge #0159 is paying tribute to Brother's Day, which is May 24. The elements I pulled from their inspo list are black, red, embossing, family sentiment and bike. I paired this challenge with TGIF Challenges #473. They have a technique/inspiration challenge that is all about creating backgrounds. For my background, I used blending brushes to create some grass and I swiped on a path using alcohol blends.

Fun Dies with Lavender

Freshly Made Sketches #636 had an interesting sketch this week. I was intrigued by the framing around the focal point. My card turned out a little different from what I envisioned. My plan was to use the dies to cut the white card and put the colored card stock behind to show through the holes. The colors just didn't show through enough. 

CAS on Friday #283 has a flower theme. I went with the beautiful lavender stamps and dies.
