Playing with Reverse Confetti & Jane's Doodles

I am back with a few more cards to share...I am on a roll. We had a dry run to the hospital the other night. I was having contraction after contraction but after being checked out and spending the night at the hospital, they sent me home. So I am sitting with my feet up and crafting my little heart out until the baby comes!

I played along with the sketch challenge at Reverse Confetti. I used the pretty Rose Garden set (it's my absolutely favourite) and inked it with my Copic markers. I kept the design simple and made some smaller cards to have on hand for friends during the next few weeks. 

Then I made a card using the Jane's Doodles "Anemone" set...I love colouring this one too! I didn't make it for any challenge...just for myself!

Reverse Confetti {SFYTT-April 2016} With Heartfelt Sympathy

Hooray! I had the chance to get inky today and I was pretty excited to play along with the Reverse Confetti Sketch for You to Try!! I LOVE the versatility of this month's sketch and I finally got the chance to use my new dies from Reverse Confetti! Yay! I went with a clean and simple sympathy card...my inspiration came from the floral photo over at Inspired by All the Little Things.

I used the Edgers-Confetti Cuts to make the swooped edge...so easy and really cool! As soon as I saw those edgers in the last release, I knew I had to have them because I always struggled with those kind of edges on cards...do you know what I mean? I just do and it was pretty great to use my Big Shot to create the edge I wanted!

I also watercoloured the Rose from the Rose Garden Stamp set and die cut it with the matching dies. I couldn't find my stitched circle die for the life of me, so I went with an oval...and that allowed for the sentiment to fit better anyway! So I just went with the flow! 

Some FUN Challenges!!!

Wow, a week has flown by and I have been taking a wee break from stamping due to some life stuff that needed to be dealt with!  But I am now back and wanted to play with some challenges.  Here is my card!  I seem to be in a creative slump, this card took a long time to create!!!  But I had fun playing along and really was inspired by the awesome challenges below.

I decided to try the Sketch for You To Try Challenge:

And I also loved the challenge of the Color Throwdown Colors...I love that ornate bed frame and used an ornate style embossing folder for my background.

And there is a relatively new challenge out there created by pals called the Paper Lovin' Gals, and they are using this GREAT inspiration photo.  It is all about butterflies and flowers.  Hence the flowers and butterfly on my card!
