Your Kindness...

I've been paying around in my craft room today. I made this card with some challenges in mind, but I really just wanted to make a card using the set (and the challenges inspired me to do so). I picked up the Altenew Carnation from SSS a few weeks ago when they had their St. Pat's day sale. Carnations are my favorite flower, so I was super excited when Altenew had one in a recent release.

I will link my card to the following challenges:

A2Z- joyous holiday

It's the first of the month already! I'm popping up with a post for the new challenge over at A2Z scrapbooking. Our theme this month is watercolor. Can't wait for you to share you watercolor creations with us!

My card is designed with a watercolor panel I created. I wanted the panel to have a ombre look, it looks like it was dipped in color starting with the lightest pink to the rich purple. 

I then stamped my images and sentiment in black. I added some twine at the top before adhering the panel with pop dots.

A2Z- CASE a designer

I'm here today to share my first card for the September challenge over at A2Z Scrapbooking! This months theme is CAS a desinger. For today's card I chose this card some Erica. How cute are the little kitties peaking out on the card?!

I used a Christmas set to CAS her card and I like the way it turned out! Thanks for the inspiration Erica!

I used a new Hero Arts set. The little images were stamped randomly to make a pattern then colored with copics. The sleigh was stamped, colored and die cut, while the sentiment was just stamped and trimmed down. I used another die to create a window in the hand stamped pattern paper. A strip of gray pattern paper was adhered to the card base before I added the window panel on top with foam tape. I decided to adhere both the sign and sleigh flat on the card. 

To finish the card I added some shimmer to the sleigh and ornament. It's not a proper Christmas card with a little dazzle! ;-)
