Happy Tuesday! Hope you are having a fun week...I have 2 cards to share today, the first one for Dynamic Duo's Challenge #57. I made a Mother's Day card using a NBUS stamps from Verve and PTI! So much fun playing with stamps that have been sitting around for a while. I loved the green and black color combination for DD this week and I opted for the dessert option and used a flower stamp.
My second card is for this month's challenge at Avery Elle. The sketch for this month was so fun, I had to play along. I pulled out another NBUS stamp set, Bonjour. The cookies are just too cute to pass up and who would not love a plate filled with these? I choose to go with some pastel colors and they went so well with the little sequins. Thank you for stopping by to peek at my cards...have a great week.

Kimm I love your cards what a fantastic card for Mom, those flowers are amazing. You really nailed the Avery Elle sketch with Bonjour--love it. Thank you so much for sharing with us this week at Dynamic Duos!
ReplyDeleteI am pinning both of these--they are so fabulous. I am so glad that I have all the same supplies--I will wait until you forget, and then make your cards exactly! Those flowers look so cute in green on green. And, the polka dots add that extra bit of fun. I like the black pattern up the sides, too. And, your Avery elle card is just so yummy I could eat it up. All those pastel colored macrons and sequins--it's like a party on a plate.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! You are rocking this NBUS idea, Kim, and I love it!! Your cards are super FUN and charming and absolutely perfect for the challenges!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Kim!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the challenge colors at Dynamic Duos this week Kimm. Thank you for joining us at for this weeks challenge!
ReplyDeleteBoth are TOTALLY FABULOUS, Kim! Love that cool Garden of Life flower! I should get my set out--haven't used it in ages. And your AE card is gorgeous! You have created an awesome design with the sentiment panel layered between macaroons and I love the pastels & sequins!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing you use the NBUS, wonderful stamping. Fun design on your second card!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards Kim. I really like your flowers on the first one. So fun!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful cards. Love the flowers, and I think you've rocked the DD challenge perfectly. Your little macaroons look sweet enough to eat. Another challenge rocked! Isn't Darnell just funny with her words?! Love that. : ) Bev
ReplyDeleteGood girl using your NBUS ! Love both cards Kim!
ReplyDeleteYum! Those cookies look yummy! I love all the little sequins on it...i am wishing for some macaroons now!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous little creation to tuck away for next year! Excellent job with our colours this week. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Dynamic Duos this week, we sure hope to see you back again soon :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, I like both of your cards, but the Mothers day card I like the best, although your macaroons are just so yummy looking!
ReplyDeleteLoving your NBUS creations, Kim ... the green and black is such a fabulous mix and those pastel macaroons are such a clever and creative take on the sketch ... brilliant, as ever! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Two more fabulous creations! The green and black really is a 'dynamic' color combo! You have done an amazing job of letting the color steal the show by using the stamped images to showcase the color! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThe cookie card is remarkably yummy! Sweet pastels, perfectly placed, popped up for dimension and blinged up for some razzle dazzle!
My prediction - Winner is both challenges!
Use the macarons for the circles in the sketch is such a fun take, Kim! Love the colorful pastels and the sequins! And the soft pink polka dot is the perfect finish touch for the card! Thank you so much for joining us! :)
ReplyDeleteLove how you used the macarons! And then the little Bonjour tag in their midst. Pure fun!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how I missed this whoopsie pie sensation!! Love the paper tag, so clean, now why have I been making tag shapes? This is so much better!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your conments on my blog too!!
