Dynamic Duo's #57 and Avery Elle June Challenge


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.

  2. I 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.

  14. Oh 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!

    The 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!
