The Card Concept #26 Happy One Year Anniversary

 

My card for The Card Concept 

My inspiration for this card was the bouquet of roses, the stripes and the colors.  I would say this is CAS category.

NBUS Challenge #3 Hosted by Darnell

 

Second card that I was able to make today.  This one took a little more time.  I have trouble with fruit and cutesy type stamp sets.  I belong to Stamps of Life and a lot of her sets are cutesy with silly plays on words.  That is why this is a NBUS set.  I am entering in Darnell's 3rd NBUS challenge which you can access HERE NBUS

  My birthday stash is low so I'm concentrating on them.

Happy New Year to all of my blogger friends!

This is my first card for the New Year and it came together quite easily and I like it.  Funny how that happens, sometimes so easily and others hours.

Make It Monday #153: Watercolored Backgrounds With Heat Embossed Sentiments

 

I used this technique by Dawn to create another birthday card.  My supply of birthday cards is pretty slim so decided I need to make more..

You can see Dawn's technique Here 

There is a similar card that Kristina made using this technique so I used a combination of both.
