Two Challenge Cards

I managed to get caught up on the Great Swaps Girls challenges finally! This first card was for the last featured swapper challenge. My friend Denise was the FS! Denise and I "met" when she was one of the first to join Great Swaps. She is so nice and funny! Her blog is hilarious and her stamping style is beautiful! I chose to case this card of hers, changing the colors slightly and using die-cut blooms instead of stamping the flower.
Supplies:
stamps - Short Order Numbers
paper - sky, pumpkin, real red, ww, summer picnic dsp
ink - versamark
acc - white EP, die-cut blooms, mat pack & piercer, circle punches and nesties, dimensionals, olive twill, small corner rounder, rub-ons

This second card was for this week's challenge hosted by Maren. It was kind of tough! It was a Survivor Challenge: you could choose only 1 stamp set, two colors of ink/paper (unlimited neutrals), 1 type of tool, and 1 embellishment. I used A Beautiful Thing, sky and wasabi with black and white, punches, and white ribbon. I SO wanted to use a black brad in the center of the flower, but I stayed true to the challenge and resisted that second embellishment! The window piece is attached with dimensionals, and the flower is popped up on two layers of dimensionals.

Supplies:

stamps - A Beautiful Thing

paper - white textured, wasabi, sky prints, black

ink - black, sky, wasabi

acc - white taffeta ribbon, circle punches, dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!
