Random Cards

Happy Saturday, peeps! Hope all is going well for you this weekend!  I have a couple cards to share for random challenges!! The first one is for the Inspire.Create challenge:

Aren't these colors pretty? My Paper Players teammate Debbie made this card recently and it inspired me to do something similar with these colors.  So here we go:

I used the sketch from Fusion:

and papers from the True Love DSP line.  I fussy-cut a flower from one of the patterns and watercolored it with the three challenge colors, then adhered it to a layer of Thick White cardstock and fussy-cut it out:

The vertical banners were cut from snips of Sand & Sea DSP, and the sentiment, embossed in white on Basic Black cardstock, is from Bloom & Grow and diecut with the little banner die from Smooth Sailing.  I did color in some random flowers on the background with some Sahara Sand ink, but they are pretty subtle!  

The next card is a masculine one, using the mallard duck from Field Journal and a sentiment from Rustic Retreat:

It uses the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

My card base is Crumb Cake with layers of woodgrain In Good Taste DSP; I stamped Mr Mallard in Stazon ink, watercolored him and fussy-cut him out:

I did the same for the little wooden sign, adding some sponging on the edge for a vintage look:

I am also entering this at Watercooler Wednesday, where they are looking for masculine cards!

And I'll leave you with these pix of silly Eden....she's probably wishing she could go outside and play in the early morning snowfall:

but the next best thing is taking a nap....with her legs stuck straight out!  Who sleeps like that?  Silly pup!

Thanks for visiting today!  Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new Paper Players challenge too!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!
