2 Card Monday

 


Card #1 was inspired by 3 challenges...

Can You Handle The Pressure // 28FEB26 ...An embossing challenge with an optional theme!!  With Sympathy is the optional theme for this current challenge.  I embossed my tag with a floral folder from Stampin Up!  I colored it in using inks and a aqua painter and layered a With Sympathy sentiment.

Freshly Made Sketches // #FMS726 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was perfect for creating a sympathy card for a friend whose brother just passed away.

Just Us Girls // #JUG813 ...A die cut challenge!!  For this current challenge we are to use a die and follow a green theme.  I used Stampin Up's Garden Green for my green and a "package die" for my ribbon and trio of string...that is right...that is a die and not actually twine!!



Card #2 was inspired by 4 challenges...

Double Trouble // #211 ...A "Thing 1, Thing 2, and Thing 3" challenge!!  Thing 1 wants us to follow a "In with the old, out with the new" recipe...3 layers, 2 colors, and 1 image...CHECK!!  Thing 2 wants us to use the sketch from Try A Sketch On Tuesday #690...CHECK!!  Thing 3 wants us to include a pig in honor of National Pig Day...CHECK!!  This piggie stamp has been hiding out in my stash for years as well as my buttons...I used to use them all the time but they have take a back burner.

Try A Sketch On Tuesday // #TSOT690 ...A sketch challenge!!  TSOT has been partnering up with Double Trouble giving great layout for completing their recipes.

Little Red Wagon // #LRW848 ...A theme challenge!!  ANIMALS...this week we are to include an animal on our card.  How about a pink farm animal?!?

FarmQuest Challenges // #FQCB81 ...A farm and country challenge with a theme!!  The theme for this current challenge...baby animals!!  Aww sweet!!  Nothing cuter than a piglet!!

  1. Beautiful bright yellow background for your pink piggy and a great interpretation of the sketch. So fun using the button for the piggy's snout, adorable. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble, using the TSOT sketch, and you might want to also share with our alternate challenge at Critter Crazy for another chance at our random drawing.

  9. Deb, what a cute take on TSOT's sketch and Double Trouble's 3-2-1 challenge! You even got Thing 3's optional pig into the act. I have that same stamp set, but rarely use it... probably because it's a button focused set and that requires extra postage... but still so darn cute! Thank you for sharing your creativity once again with both of us!!! -Donna
