It is all about Orange today

I had so much fun using a whole bunch of orange for the card I want to share today.

 I used some of my favorite flower stamps and that makes this fit the CAS on Sunday challenge.  A card for that challenge is supposed to be on the simple side and what is fun for me that I used a stencil and some Distress Stain for the background and that really is very quick and easy.  The stencil if some Prima.  I also sprayed it with a little bit of Heidi Swapp Color Shine in gold.  

 The flowers are from a three step stamp set from Altenew.  I stamped the outline with gold embossing and then stamped the other two layers with two shades of orange.  That sentiment is from Studio Calico. Probably the part that took the longest was cutting out the flowers. 

Here is the CAS on Sunday flower challenge.

Butterfly fun

I wanted to play along with the AAA challenge blog again this week.  The challenge is a sketch and/or color combination. I decided to combine both in one card.

 First off, I took a background stamp from Hero Arts and only inked part of it with two colors of Distress Ink, using the stamp pad directly to the rubber.  By only inking part of the stamp, I was able to have just a border of the design when I stamped it.  

 I used a set of round, stitch looking stamps from Prima to help match the sketch and the butterfly and the sequins finish off the card.  The butterfly is from Clearly Besotted.  

Here is the AAA Cards challenge.
