Double Challenge Card


I made this first card for two challenges: the Clean and Simple Stamping blog challenge, which was a sketch and the CASual Fridays blog challenge, which was to use orange, aqua and green.

I cut the flowers using a Spellbinders die. I added leaves underneath and brads for the centers. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

Using the negative strip from the aqua, I simply glued it on a piece of ivory cardstock and stamped the flower centers. It felt great to use up my card parts right away!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

  2. Not a color combination I would have thought to put together but you made it look great. And nice use of the negative piece of aqua paper!

  8. How efficient to make two cards while your supplies are out! I'm a saver, but find that if something gets saved it has a LOW chance of being used later because I've already moved on. Great motivation to just make something that moment. Thanks so much for joining the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!
