Hero Arts Challenge, as you can see is flowers. Decided to play with some watercolors and let the card design itself.
Love pinks and greens. Zig Real Brush watercolors, ME edge die, SC flower and butterfly stamp, HA sentiment, scraps of pink, and green polka dots.
I'm not really good at Valentines this year for some reason. But I gave it the ol' college try.... This one will go to CASology and CAS on Sunday.
EZPZ lemon squeezy. A chunk of vellum with those amazing gold triangles, a small focal panel cut with an AE die, a Concord & 9th gold embossed sentiment, and some pink punched out hearts 1/2 gold embossed. Happy Valentine's Day everyone.
Ooh your flower card is stunning and so pretty! Love the colours. Your CAS card is fabulous too! I really hope you feel better soon, migraines are aweful! xxx
ReplyDeleteOh no! Another YKW? I was thinking and hoping that they were getting less...?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you still were able to make two gorgeous cards! The beautiful watercolored flowers of the first and the little hearts dipped in gold combined with the vellum of the second make me swoon!
Have a wonderful YKW-free Valentine's Day!
Both of these cards are so pretty. Love the pink flowers with that green card stock and the vellum on the second card makes it so perfect. Sorry your having such a hard time with migraines. I was up at 3 am as I woke up with one but lucky for me the meds kicked in about two hours later and let me sleep and I'm just feeling doppy now. Take care of yourself and know we are all thinking of you with positive thoughts.
ReplyDeleteLooking at these two beauties, I'd say that you definitely got the upper hand on the YKW!!! I'm swooning over the sweet polkie dots paired with the bright pink! The curved/stitched die creates a beautiful 'base' for your GORGEOUS flowers!
ReplyDelete2nd card...'LOVE" it...especially the bi-colored hearts! GREAT idea for a man-tye v-day card!
Pretty card, CAS indeed! Thanks for joining us at CAS on Sunday!
ReplyDeleteNifty, spifty - that CAS vellum beauty. Love every inch of it. I've purchased that stamp set, just have to get to MI to "pick it up" :) Happy Valentine's Day - hope you can enjoy it.

They're two lovely cards Bev. I really like the first. The flowers are so pretty and I also like pink and green. The CAS card looks great. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteWowzers, Bev. Your flower card is absolutely stunning, and your Valentine is super sweet. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.
ReplyDeleteI am so trying not to buy those Zigs but, your flowers look sooo bright and happy!
ReplyDeleteAnother migraine? You poor thing!! LOVE your cards, though. Stunning coloring of the flowers on the first card. The second card is simple and elegant. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteLove your vibrant pink flowers with that lovely die-cut border. Gorgeous CAS card with those very sweet pink & gold hearts. I admire you for still being able to do two cards with a migraine coming on! Hope you are back on your feet soon.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are so lovely but I do hope that you feel better soon! Prayers for health...
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that you are still suffering from those nasty migraines Bev. I do pray that you get some relief from them soon! Your flower card is amazing! I love those flowers and the way you colored them with your Zig's. Your border is fun and whimsical and the perfect addition. I also love pink and green together too, so this color combo is right up my ally. lol Love the "love" card as well. Your vellum looks great on it and I love the simple CAS design of the center panel. Feel better soon!!! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Bev! I love the bright pink border and the gorgeous watercolouring on your first card, and those gold-dipped hearts on the second :)
ReplyDeleteI'm jumping right to that gorgeous "love " card! Wow what a beauty! I love your pretty watercolored flowers too!
ReplyDeleteDarn those migraine headaches,almost time for the Botox ,right! Hope you have a pain free week.
Such pretty blossoms with the polkie dot paper, Bev ... so sweet and whimsical and playful ... and beautifully coloured! Oh my, your vellum and gold confection ... it's a wow ... soooo gorgeous! Hope those meds worked to keep the YKWs at bay! Miss you, mon amie! Hugs & bisous, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were able to feather dust those cobwebs and have some creative time making these two awesome cards, Bevie! I love them both, but that Hero Arts number really blew the ol knickers off! It's a winner to me!! Feel better! I'm sending you miss-you cyber hugs! Love, Darnell
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better, but wow your cards are beautiful. Hugs Bev x
ReplyDeleteI love those borders on the first card, Bev, how they match the bright color of the flowers. The valentine is subtle but gorgeous with it's gold dipped hearts and accompanying vellum.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I especially love the flower card!
ReplyDeleteThe flower stamps are gorgeous! I love how you coloured them too. Actually, I love the entire design - wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe Valentine's Day card is just too lovely as well. Clever girl!
Boo on the YKW!
Guess who? Good ol' me, once again playing the role of Ms. Tardy Commenter! Yeesh! When will I get my act together? Sweet friend, I'm blown away by your garden of beautifully painted flowers! I didn't realize you've mastered Zigs; they're still getting the best of me! They come out, I try, I grrrr and back in the cupboard they go! Must be missing something in the process! You, however, have the painting knack! The gold-dipped hearts are soooo sweet! Love this CAS-ilicious V-day card!
ReplyDeletehugs and love and missing you~c
