Two cards to share today, following a sketch in a Facebook group I'm part of. The group is called 'Creative Minds II Kind Hearts' which is a place for sharing papercraft creations. There are regular sketches and fancy folds to try, as well as card swaps and lots of other inspiration. It's a lovely group to be part of, so if you are on Facebook and want to join the group, pop over to the 'Creative Minds II Kind Hearts' page and answer a couple of joining questions... don't forget to say that I sent you. 😉 It would be lovely to see you there.
Although my favourite colour is purple, I do love making blue and white cards. All the patterned paper was snippets, I think from an old Papermania paper pad and I hand cut the ends of the banners. The circles were die cut with Spellbinder dies and the white circle embossed with a Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' e/f. I raised the layered circle up with foam pads. A sentiment and three pearls finished off my card. All the paper and card, apart from the card blank, was snippets so I'll be sharing my card over in The Playground.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
My second card is following the same sketch and I thought the papers from The Range would be suitable for a masculine card.
I am joining in the following challenges with this card:
The different papers give a totally unique feel to each card,the blue and white,crisp and fresh,whilst the second made me feel as though I was in the jungle
ReplyDeleteTwo great looks using this fun banner design Liz and the blues have a fresh and pretty look whilst the second is bright and full of interest with the leopards and jungle foliage..a super masculine make. x

ReplyDeleteA wonderful card made with those blue and white papers and a great design. I love the Range papers and they made a fun masculine card.
ReplyDeleteTwo brilliant cards Liz! Super way to use up snippets - and I'd put money on the blue papers being leftovers from a Papermania pad - a lot of their co-ordinating pads were so distinctive.
