Hello and Happy Wednesday...I have 2 cards to share today for a few challenges. My first card is for the new challenge at Simply Create Too #77 - Mother's Day card. I only have one Mother's Day sentiment and it is not a favorite of mine so I thought this little sentiment from PTI's Side by Side would be the perfect stand in.I used the technique that Jennifer McGuire shares in her video here, it was so much fun to make. I hope you will be able to find the time to play along with us. I am also entering this card in the new challenge at CASology - NBUS with Darnell! My Blushing Flower Branch is a NBUS.
My second card was on my blog to post yesterday, not sure what I did wrong but my card just seemed to disappear. I loved the colors so much for this week's ColourQ #275 challenge that I made two cards. So my fingers are crossed that this time my card shows up.
Kim! these cards are jaw dropping gorgeous!! I am in love with the die cut in your first card!! I can't wait to view the video link to see how you did it.
ReplyDeleteI have had that stamp/die combo room your second card on my wish list for a long time!! I really need to move it to my shopping cart after seeing this lovely card! : ) Beautiful colors too you really aced that colourQ challenge.

Your crossed fingers worked, because both of your gorgeous cards showed up today. That first one is so very stunning, and I still can't figure out how you did it, even though I watched that video! Have to give it another go. Love it for a mother's day card, and that die cutting part is just amazing. And, you know what I think of your second card, still swooning. Those mums are so terribly neglected in my house, I think you have inspired me to pull them out to play. Thank you so much for playing along at CASology this week.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait to get home to try this 'border' technique! I am so in awe of whoever it is that creates these amazing techniques! Your card is so perfectly balanced...the sentiment looks like it was made for this design! Stunning simplicity!
ReplyDeleteAnd those CQ colors...yep, heart did a skip or two when I saw this card! Cool design - it almost looks like the flowers are 'spilling' over the edge of a basket! You rock dear friend!
What a great die cut on your first card Kim!! And wow do I loveyour second, such a great design!! Thanks so much for joining us at the ColourQ!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are gorgeous, Kim! Love the die cut on the first one--it's perfect! The layering on your second card looks awesome and I love the colors for those flowers!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful! I love the sweetness of your first card and very creative to use that sentiment. I think it says "Happy Mother's Day" even better. Those flowers and your opening are wonderful to show off those gorgeous colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Kim!!!
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards, but the first one - swoon! You gave it such dimension and those delicate flowers are so pretty! Have a great weekend, Kim!
ReplyDeleteI am just in awe and so impressed with your beautiful cards!!! I am loving the dimension and character of the first one and the second one is such a PERFECT match to the photo and color inspiration! I am so in love with the clean, classy, chic cards you are creating!!! Keep smiling!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll, Kim! These cards are both wonderful--beautifully created!
ReplyDeleteI just melted with sighs over your designs, Kim! I have to bookmark this to come back and see that video when I get some time. Both cards are exceptional!! Thank you so much for playing in the joint CASology and NBUS challenges this week!! Mwah! Darnell
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards and I especially love the first one. The sentiment is really nice.
ReplyDeleteKim, that first card is exceptionally cool! Love that die cut border, so pretty and delicate! Both cards are lovely! Thanks for joining us at CASology using your NBUS!
ReplyDeleteSimple yet elegant. Love the partial die cutting! Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteWow, both of these are so amazing Kim! You did a great job! I remember the JM video and it still looked a bit hard. Love the last card with the gorgeous blooms too! Trying to play catch up on the comments.
ReplyDeleteI saw Jennifer's video, Kim ... and you've outdone her here ... this is simply gorgeous, especially with that wonderful sentiment! So glad you re-posted your second card, it's striking and so beautiful ... a joy to see! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteDouble gorgeous, Kim! The die-cutting on the first, with that fabulous sentiment is a perfect Mother's Day card. The second...oh my. Utterly stunning! In awe with how fresh and crisp these are!
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
Both are SO beautiful. Love the look of the border against the soft pink - the sentiment is just right! And such a lovely use of the colors. I love the flowers and the way you have arranged them around the window.
ReplyDeleteI loved your card inspiration for Simple Create Too. I love CAS cards and yours is exceptional.
