I have two cards to share today. I hope I had enough focus to make them look decent, but you'll have to tell me if they're alright. My brain is still fuzzy. For this first one, I will be playing along at the City Crafters Blog, as well as Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. It's "A Few Stitches" at CCB, and "Anything Goes" at SSSWC.
My card:
The stitches came with the Wonky die from MFT. The image is a stencil created with a cut file from Silhouette. Lots and lots of inks. One red scrap adhered to the base. The way the stitches look, they remind me of crepe-paper twisted and hung, don't they? Or is my brain still waaay too fuzzy?!
The next one is your fault. It's a watercolored card. I'll be playing along at Muse, Inkspirational Challenge, and Happy Little Stampers.
For this card, I tried my hand at partial die cutting. Probably not the best day to be doing that, but I did. So you can see that my flower is still connected to the watercolored panel. Jenni at Muse has a lovely rose for us to use as our inspiration, but the roses I have are a bit small (must correct that!), so I went with the peony again. And I did use several dies on this, so I guess I'm twisting along with HLS!
Are you ready? Ok.
Another rut for me... the Wonky Stitched die from MFT. Along with their stitched rectangle. The 'birthday' die is one I played surgeon with and cut it apart from the 'happy' and its frame; it's from Impress. The bitty tag is from Studio Calico, and the peony is from Altenew. Watercolored with Zigs. The 'wishes' stamp is from Newton's Nook. I hope I got all the ingredients... My brain isn't getting any less fuzzy as the day goes on. At least it doesn't hurt right now, lol! Probably a good time for me to stop. I'm headed off to comment land, and if you get one that doesn't make sense, just chalk it up to the medication ; ) And as always...

Wow two beautiful cards love them both but that pop of pink is just sooo eyecatching!.. and hope that that pesky migraine has been knocked into submission! Thank you for joining us over at Muse this week x
What a pair of lovely cards, Bev. The cake is super cute and fun and the flower is oh, so lovely. Thanks for playing along at Happy Little Stampers Wc Challenge for February with your pretty pink posey.
So sorry to hear about another migraine but glad that you are feeling better now! I am in awe of you that you can make such beautiful cards while not feeling really well! That birthday cake looks scrumptious enough to eat and your pink peony is so very pretty!
I hope you are feeling better! Your cards look amazing! Love the fresh combo of pink and white in your card for Ink and that peony... It must be one of the most beautiful flowers in stamp land! :) Thanks fo joining us at Ink!
Love that cake stamp, what a neat clever idea with the layers. Then your card with the Altenew flower, how beautiful it is. Stunning.
Sorry to hear that you are suffering from migraine, as a former victim of this terrible malaise you have my heartfelt sympathy. I have to say that it did not deter your creativity as both cards are fabulous.Can I ask did you do the partial cutting of the flower on the Silhouette or is it a die. Both are fabulous and full of colour. Love that wonky die too and works so well. Thanks for playing along with CCCB this and I hope by now you are fully recovered.

It's a shame you can't get Syndol here - have you tried Aleve? MIgrains suc. You got some gorgeous shading on this flower - it really looks 3D! Thank you for joining us at the HLS Watercolor Challenge. Jenny x
Wowzers girlfriend! These are two AMAZING creations....more so cuz you crafted 'em up whilst your head was hurting!
One word needed for the b-day card....SWEET! No wait, make that 2 words..."Super Sweet". Great colors!
2nd card.....gasp....totally breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL!! Your flower is absolutely gorgeous! So in love wit te bits of velum too, which works beautifully with the stunning flower! Great idea to use green for the sentiment (instead of a actual leaf).
Soft. Pretty. Elegant.
Hope your boo-boo head is feeling better today :)
That birthday cake ooks fab and your cardis spot on our theme! Thanks so much for joining us at CCCB!
Your birthday cake is so charming and your peony is gorgeous, Bev! A really stunning take on Jenni's Muse card!!!
Oh Miss Bev, I hate reading you've had another migraine. I wish they didn't visit you at all! Big hugs to you!
You're cards, however, are just so dang pretty! I love them. :)
Gorgeous cards

Beautiful peony card Bev, hope the migraine has passed now, I know how miserable they can be!
How clever to use all those different stamps to make a cake! And I love every single detail in the second card...right down to the little hanging tag. I don;t get alot of sleep either at the moment, but only because my head is full of card making ideas!! Lol! Hope your head feels better.
