Hello friends! I hope you had a great weekend, and to all the mothers out there, I hope you had a beautiful Mother’s Day! I can honestly say that my kids treated me like royalty! And I had time on Saturday getting crafty with friends and I got quite a few cards made this weekend! Here are a few I’d love to share with you today!
My first card was made with a really fun Comforted by Carrots stamp that I picked up from Rubbernecker when I was at the Adventures in Stamping convention a few weeks ago. I just found this sentiment to be so hilarious! Thanks to my sweet friend Katie, I was able to add some die-cut carrots to this card by borrowing her Rooting for You stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn…

Ha! Don’t you love it? That sentiment made me burst out laughing in the RN booth, so I had to buy it! The layout for my card was inspired by the current sketch #71 at The Challenge, and I added some emerald green for Barbara’s current challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges.
Unfortunately, in the last two weeks I’ve needed three sympathy cards so here are two more I made this past weekend…

For this first card, I used the current challenge #171 at CAS(E) this Sketch, and the current color challenge #340 from the Color Q. I stamped the two smallest flowers from the LJD Scribble Roses from My Favorite Things in Versamark, heat embossed them in white, then watercolored in shades of rose and red. I added a Polaroid frame behind the flowers, and the With Sympathy die from Simon Says Stamp.

My second card uses my new favorite stamp, the Bunch of Tulips from Rubbernecker, and my layout was inspired by the current sketch #235 from Freshly Made Sketches. I used Ranger Distress inks on the tulips, and again used the With Sympathy die from Simon Says Stamp.
Have a great week, and thanks for stopping by today!
