 I wanted to try the new bow die that I just purchased from The Greetery.  I thought it might look nice on this sketch inspired card.

Pretty, huh?

Keeping busy in Florida

 This winter, while enjoying the warmth of Florida,  I picked up some yarn and made baby blankets for 2 little girls expected in April.   One arrived last week and the second has yet to make her entrance into the Brile family.

Of course, I made cards to go along with the blankets.

The fact that the colors of the cards sort of match those in the blankets was a totally unintentional, but nice coincidence.

CAS card set

 

The current Double Trouble Challenge is 

Challenge #164 "CAS Less But Better" partnering with Crafter's Cafe 

 

 

 

Yesterday I made a card for this pair of challenges.

(Please scroll down for details.)

I mentioned making a set of matching cards.

That's exactly what I did. 

I'll be entering both challenges with the yellow card.

 

(On this card I used a marker to outline the stenciled hearts and added some clear Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle.)

CAS 4 Double Trouble

We've been back from our winter stay in Florida for 18 days.  Things here are slowly getting back to normal.  And, once again, I'm making a few cards on an as needed basis.  Now you might think that the card I made today would not fall into that category.  However, the Double Trouble Challenge is one of my favorites and I made this card for my Double Trouble family.

Using a negative from die cutting those adorable hearts on stems, I stenciled them in the corner of my cs.  Next I added the flowers and leaves.  (This winter I picked up a piece of very pretty paper at HL that was filled with bunches of flowers, enough for all the gals in my card class.  I fussy cut them all.  There were just a few partial flowers around the edges which I also fussy cut, knowing I'd find the perfect spot for them.) I stamped a few little spots and my sentiment.  Then I embossed the entire piece before adhering it to my card base.  I'm very pleased with how this turned out.  I'm thinking of making a set to give as a gift.

Yesterday I made two baby cards to go with the two baby blankets I made in Florida.

I can't wait to show them to you.

First, I think it's time to unpack my suitcase.
