THAIC #70

Hello! I hope you all are still fairing well. I've been trying to keep up with my Christmas cards , always good to start early you know. Every year I try to make several purple Christmas cards, I have several friends that love purple and I send them to them. For this card I used a stencil from Gina K and a sentiment strip from Taylored expressions.  This one would be fairly easy to mass produce, just change up the sentiment strip. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! This week's color challenge card stumped me for a few days. I finally came up with this idea while I was planting some cone flowers in my yard and I thought of this stamp. I'm not happy with the transition between colors, but when I blended them closer together I got mud. Anyone else gardening to feel like life is normal? I was able to order everything I wanted to plant from our local nursery for curbside pick up. It was nice to be out working in the garden, got a little sunburned too. I hope you will join us this week.

Hello! I hope you are all doing well today. I've run out of Hello or miss you cards to send to friends, so this week's sketch challenge card will be sent out as soon as the ink dries. I've been sending a small batch of cards to friends every week, keeping track of who I sent to on which week . I want to try to spread some happiness and what better way than with a card. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! Welcome back to another "Anything Goes" challenge for The Holly and Ivy Christmas card challenge. My bin of new Christmas stamps and dies is getting low...so some day soon I may go back to using some old stand by stamps. This stamp/die is from the stamp market. I opted for something simple this week. I hope you all are doing well and staying healthy. Thanks for popping by today.

Hello! Welcome back to another color challenge. I've had the idea to use this die( pink fresh) for awhile and just needed the right colors to try it out. This week's colors were perfect. I've been trying to send extra cards to friends and family lately, since we can't go to see each other. I've been trying not to do a lot of dark color ink blending lately, my hands are dry enough from the constant washing and hand sanitizer. I hope you all are doing well and staying busy. Be sure to play along , these are great colors.

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well. I've been trying to stay away from the news, to stressful to watch anymore. I've cleaned out a bunch of closets and my donate pile is huge at this point. Just trying to stay busy. I have more than enough craft supplies to get me through, as long as my adhesive doesn't run out. I'm sharing my card for this week's sketch challenge. Normally I don't use patterned paper on my cards, but I felt this image needed something to make it pop more. I tried using black or the pink from the flowers, it just didn't look right. I hope you all are doing well and staying busy. Thanks for stopping by today.
