This first card is going to head off to SSSWednesday Challenge, MFT's Sketch Challenge, and Sunday Stamps Challenge.
Mine looks like this:
All the stamps and dies are from MFT. I used two Altenew green inks, and added some green enamel dots just for funsies. Works for a fella, I think.
And I fell in love with the inspiration photo at Inspired By this week! I went with a sort of desert-y look with my card.
Isn't that adorable?!! My card was watercolored and stamped.
The sun is a My Cute Stamps stamp, which sadly, is no longer in business. The rocks and aloe are from HA, and the fox is a ME set. The die is from AE cut with kraft cardstock. A little watercoloring, a little stamping, and that's all there is to it. I do need to run for now, but I hope to see you in a bit. As always...
Look at that adorable image and beautiful watercoloring! I envy those who can watercolor! Thank you for playing at Inspired By :)
ReplyDeleteOh, how pretty! Love the clean design, perfect for the shades of green and brown. Thanks for joining us at Sunday Stamps, hope to see you again soon!
ReplyDeleteBev, these are both so sweet!
ReplyDeleteAnd your week is sounding like what last week was for me! Hope you things slow down some so you can get a little break. And no need to stress about visiting...I know you're there and hey, I'm not always the best at commenting either. (I have a feeling we're not alone. *wink, wink.) Take care, my friend. Hugs
Great cards! So glad you squeaked in the time to share with us!
ReplyDeleteAs cute as that fox is, and as happy as I am that you're playing cards with us at Inspired By, Bev, I cannot get passed the fact that I'm in LOve with your gorgeous, leafy loveliness! I am so copying that sundaystamp photo, btw!

Such a wonderful take on the sketch and colors with your leaves, Bev! I love how you arranged them so artistically! That little fox basking in that adorable sunshine has me wishing for the dry heat of Arizona - I've never even been to Arizona!!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet sweet leaves, Bev - I love them in the gentle taupe frames and details! Gorgeous arrangement! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards Bev. Love those beautiful green leaves in the kraft frame. I agree ... great masculine card. And your watercoloured scene with fox is adorable!! So happy you found some time to create and have fun! xx
ReplyDeleteLove both of your cards Bev! Such great takes on the photo inspirations! The first one is so beautiful with the earth tones, so simplistic but so elegant all at the same time. Your second card is just adorable and makes me smile from ear to ear! Love the design and the stamps. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are darling , Bev! I really love those leaves against the brown background ! Hoping this time my comment works ...I did some readjusting ..
ReplyDeleteColor challenges can be difficult for me but you nailed it with those lovely green leaves and the different browns for the frame and background, Bev. The scene is darling and I love those little rocks. I don't think I've seen them before and they ground the scene perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThose fab leaves and colour combo, perfect combo for a masculine design and who wouldn't be able to resist that little sign holding critter, love!

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. Hope you have a great day :) x
As usual I am amazed by the beautiful cards you manage to make in the snippets of time you have available! Love the fresh green leaves peeking through the brown frame and the second card is absolutely adorable with the little fox holding the sign and that cute sun shining down on him!
ReplyDeleteHope this coming week will be better for you!
Hugs, Susanne
I'm glad you can find bits of time to craft. I'm an early morning person and my work day then family commitments always seems a bit better if I get even 5 minutes before I head into to work to craft or look at blogs!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your leaf card. Those pops of fresh green from the neutral background is a fabulous look. And the little fox has always been one of my favorites. I like how you tucked him into a corner with just a bit of greenery and a big sky!
Happy you're finding time to be creative, my friend. Hugs across the pond. Had to come tell you how subtly gorgeous your leafy card is. What a fabulous take on those challenges.
ReplyDeleteThose leafy greens are so delicious with the kraft, Bev ... what a gorgeous combination ... cool, serene, calm (sounds as though you need a bit of that just now, mon amie!). Your little critter is adorable holding his happy birthday sign ... such a sweet scene! Take it easy, my friend ... and remember to just breathe! Miss you ... big hugs and bisous, Anita :)
