Hope This Year Is Your Best One Yet

Hello, friends!  My mojo seems to have returned from vacation and I have two more cards to share today for the new Card Concept challenge.  I love these colors together!


I made two more cards in the "Clean and Layered" style (I think there are a few too many layers to be considered "Clean and Simple" even though there is a lot of white space).

I just wish the sun would come out so my pictures would be brighter!  Today we had more rain but it was so cold in the morning that the roads and sidewalks were all a sheet of ice and no one knew it until we went outside.  What a crazy surprise!  Way too many car accidents today...best to stay inside (and make cards).




Here they are together...I used the same dies and papers, just mixed them up a bit. 

Supplies Used:
Stamps: PTI "Signature Greetings"
Inks:  chocolate brown dye ink, Tea Dye distress ink
Other: Simon Says Stamp butterfly die "Leanna," branch die, patterned paper, Nestabilities Labels 1, pearl, rhinestone


So, if you haven't already checked it out, I would HIGHLY recommend checking out The Card Concept ... it has something for everyone!  

Thanks for stopping by...have a great day!
Judy

  1. Judy, these are both beautiful. The font on the sentiment seems to be a perfect fit with those delicate butterflies. Great idea to make two cards with the same supplies, just slightly varied. I often do that as well.

  3. Ohhh, This pair is sooo pretty, Judy! While they are both beautiful, I am favoring the second one with that wonderful text dp. I love the use of text and here it just enough to really make this a stand out card!

  13. I love them both! It always amazes me how just switching a few elements around can make for such different cards. Stay safe out there in the frozen tundra!!
