Little birdies and a Yellow flower

First off, I wanted to share the card I created to go with one of the Sketch challenges at Moxie Fab
 I love to use sketches, so I am usually up for a challenge.  This challenge at Moxie Fab goes along with Card Ideas Week. 
 I pulled out this very "sunny" piece of patterned paper by Little Yellow Bicycle.  The sketch has the three banner looking pieces on it so I used one of my Kreaxions punches and made little decorative banners. 
 The reverse pattern on this particular piece of paper has these cute little quails all over it so I just cut out a strip of them to march across my card. 
 I also want to share my Card Positioning Systems card for this week.  Our sponsor is Clearsnap and I used Smooch Spritz.  I love spray colors so this is a product that I really like. 
 To get my pattern, I used a stencil by Layers of Color.  You can see that the spray color has a silver/metallic look to it.  I also cut a flower with a My Favorite Things die from white cardstock and sprayed it so that it is a great, metallic golden yellow.  I love how completely this spray colored my cardstock.
And for a few photos...
 I used the Hipstamatic app on my phone for these.  My grandson loves playing in this swing and so as I pushed the swing, I had my phone in my hand to snap these.  If you recall from my last post, this app is meant to give old fashioned looking photos. 

Thank you for visiting, Linda (lbpost)

    GREAT cards, Linda! I absolutely love what you did with that Moxie Fab sketch! Your banners are out of this world creative and beautiful, and I adore the quails and the sunny yellow. Super sweet CPS card, too. You did an amazing job with the Smooch. Love that flower.
    And boy, did those photos ever bring back memories of my own kiddos swinging in the airplane swing. Oh, how my wee ones loved that swing.
