I feel like I got a bit of my creative mojo back today. After this post it's back to my craft room to work on my Vintage Plum Star Search week #3 challenge - "All That Glitters". I gotta tell you, I've been feeling stumped about this one. It's so easy to go overboard. I'm hoping my great creative flow with the following two cards carries over! Check back Saturday for the post of my "bling" creation - see how it turned out.
Both of these cards sport images from Unity Stamp Co.'s May Kit of the Month. It's just so darn cute!!
"ENJOY YOUR DAY"
Both images were embossed and then colored with Stampin' Up! ink and a blender pen. Then I cut each image out. The patterned paper is Basic Grey's Urban Prairie.
The layout of the card is inspired by the Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge sketch #69:

"HAPPY"
This image is also colored with SU! ink & a blender pen. The edges are sponged on. The herringbone (sp?) background is Cuttlebug. The base paper is Certainly Celery and then I sponged Wild Wasabi over it. The I Cuttlebugged it and sanded the embossed areas to reveal the Certainly Celery color underneath.
The color combination for this card is inspired by Moxie Fab World's citrus color challenge this week.
