LILY PAD CARDS --Craft'sMeowChallenge - Embossing

Hello all-

I hope that you had a great weekend!  It went by so quickly but I was still grateful for it. 

Today's card is The Craft's Meow Challenge  and it's hosted by Lily Pad Cards.  The theme is embossing.  Here I used the 4 Leaf Grid Background Stamp by HeroArts.  I heat embossed it and then I tried to keep it simple with the sentiment and the button embellishments.  I love this color combination too!  Heat embossing is becoming my *new* favorite thing!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day today!

HeroArts Monthly Challenge - Masculine Cards



Happy Monday all-

 

Today is such a beautiful day here in NYC.  The trees are blooming and it's warming up and I welcome Spring with open arms.....

 

Today's card reminds me a little of Spring because of the orange....which just so happens to be my favorite color...TeeHee!  I created this card for the HeroArts Monthly Challenge.  The theme is A SKETCH CHALLENGE and MASCULINE PROJECTS.  You still have time to play, so check it out HERE.  The challenge also had an option of following a particular sketch and it could have any theme.  The card I made followed a sketch.  I love the way it came out - Clean and Simple and I love the way the colors work so well with each other.

 

I hope you stop by the HeroArts blog and participate in the challenge.  As always, thanks for stopping by and have a great Monday!

Just Saying Hello...

Happy Hump Day....

This week is sure flying by....wasn't it just Monday?..LOL!

Today's card is following the theme of Fall. I will miss summer, but must admit that I love the colors that Fall brings - the Olive greens, mustard Yellows, the dark Reds, and the Oranges (my favorite color)...they are so yummy!

I tried to imitate those colors in my card by coloring the leaves. I like the way it came out and hope you do too! Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!
