So Many Challenges So Little Time

Lately I haven’t had time for to many challenges so it was fun to pile all these challenges together. I designed these two cards for Lucy’s challenge here  and this is the card of Jennifer McGuire’s that I loved and was so inspired by here. I created a pretty sky background with clouds and had my grass cut but, it was just to much for my flower. So this is the end result. For the pattern on the flower I used the Starburst LACE stamp on top of the flower and the leaves. To add color I used distress ink and on the big card some Copic markers. I’m also entering these cards in the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog here , Moxie Fab World Lace challenge here and Hero Arts Spring challenge here.

 Starburst Lace Flower

Sweetie

 Supplies: Hero Arts: CL374 Big & Small Flowers, S5317 Starburst Lace, F5170 Bouquet Bear, C4920 Sweetie, Hero Hues Carnation paper.

Vintage Buttons

This is the most challenges I have entered at one time. I hope you are having a terriffic weekend. The sun is shining here and my DD and I spend some time together today shopping. Isn’t that what all teenager daughters want to do?
Ahhh…almost forgot the winner tomorrow night. Hugs,Kathy
