Hello Friday, this week has been a struggle but I'm trying to stay positive and keep pressing.  So much going on that I am not really in the holiday mood because I don't feel well.  Today's card was created for this week's #craftydares that is hosted over on IG,  the dare was to use splatter, 2024 and crafter's choice. I used a siliver piece of paper for the base, paint splattered the black layer and used some Paper Studio letters for the sentiment and a Sizzix die set for the rectangle and numbers.  It's hard see because of the splatters but I did add some tiny star embellishments too.  I am sharing this card for the Anything Goes challenge #737 over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

You're So Hip

 

Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin!  This  week over at the Cut it Up challenge blog the theme is Animals Parade.  I created this card using sketch inspiration from a watching a YT video, used a Stampin' Up stamp and die set that was gifted to me recently.  I colored the hippo with color pencils and cut the glasses with some glittter cardstock. Used a DCWV  card base, a piece of vellum and pattern paper from the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss 6x6 paper pad.  Finished the card by adding a few gems and I like it! I am sharing this card over at the Crafting Happiness challenge blog where it's Always Anything Goes!

Now that you've seen my card, I hope you will visit the Cut it Up challenge blog for more Animals on Parade inspiration, Create and share your animal project, the challenge starts today and ends Friday, August 9, 2023 at noon PST.

Thank you for your visit, take care and hurry back soon.
