These two cards are for this week’s 2RedBananas’ Banana Split Sunday Challenge. The challenge for this week is to make a thank you card or a page with a gratitude theme. Please join us for the challenge!
Both of my cards use the branch with flowers from the set “Wrapped in His Love.” I inked it up with Stampin’ Up!’s Soft Suede ink, then colored the leaves with an Always Artichoke marker. I colored the flowers on the first card with a Dusty Durango marker and I used a Crushed Curry marker on the second card. For the first card, I used the sentiment from the same set. I matted the image and the sentiment with Always Artichoke and used my Scor-Pal to score lines on both sides of the panel. The sentiment on the second card is from the October’s release set called “Winter Wishes.” The butterflies are punched with a Martha Stewart punch out of Crushed Curry cardstock and have pearls for their bodies. I drew antennas with a Dusty Durango marker.
The second card is also done using this week’s Clean & Simple blog’s Fall-to Layout #69. Another fun sketch!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you’ll come back and visit again soon!
