Silke is our hostess for the
Crazy4Challenges this week. She issued a color challenge this week --
pink, kraft, turquoise, brown. My immediate reaction was......'Ah, this should be an easy one'.....and it should have been......but somehow my pink, kraft, brown, turquoise mojo had disappeared. Out of three cards I made, this was my fav, but......well.....can't say it is exactly my best....IYKWIM!!!! I embossed the kraft layer to look like siding on a house, but not sure if that translates in reality. Oh well....I love the window and the sentiment.....lol!!!
Be sure to check out some spectacular creations at the
Crazy4Challenges blog.
As I have admitted in the past, I admire the shaped cards that everyone makes, but I rarely do a round or other shaped card. So the
Speedy's Friends Challenge this week, which was to make a round card with 3 pastel colors, 3 bling, and one image, surely challenged me. Thanks, Karen for once again making me work outside of my comfort zone. (As I posted this, I realized it looks like I have TWO images on this card........I just don't know where that butterfly came from?????.....LOL!!!!....sorry, I was a bad girl!!!)
The images and sentiment are from
Mark's Finest Papers. The set is called
Brick Wall.
Now hop on over to the
Speedy's post to see the wonderful round cards by the rest of the team.

Both great, Joanne! I really love that window scene and I do think your embossed Kraft looks like siding. Very good! your shaped card looks like a real Spring beauty.

Hi Joanne...both of these cards are very creative and lovely!! I am surprised there is any challenge for you, as you make all stamping look so easy! I love that first image, reminds me of a alpine cottage in Sweden, and the second is so pretty! Hope you are well!

Beautiful card, Jo! I LOVE the way the embossing behind the window makes it look like wood siding, and all the piercing sets it off nicely, too!
So pretty Joanne!!
