Dashing in this Friday afternoon to rush two cards into nearly-closing galleries. I'll be super quick: promise!
First is the debut of my new PTI Silhouette dies for Addicted to CAS #71~Blue
Of course, 'new' means I'm also entering NBUS Challenge #5, hostessed by fabulous, sweet, talented and generous Darnell. She's nearly at 200 entries and the prizes she has on tap? Oh my stars!! Nothing short of amazing!! Thank you, Darnell, for yet another opportunity to start scaling Mt. NBUS!
My second card is for Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #326~Green, White, Navy
A while back, I was transfixed with this gorgeous butterfly&rainbow card our ultra-talented Anita from France created, which you can see here. I've had a case of her sketch in mind for a long time (and yes, she's given me permission to do so: THANK YOU, my friend!) and finally, it came into fruition with my translation that goes like this:
NOTE: Honoured and delighted to be selected as one of the Sweet Six at Cupcake Inspiration Challenges. THANK YOU!
A multi-faceted border strip from Winiie and Walter's True set, paired with a MB butterfly, sporting a vellum undercoat and ta dahhh...a case of Anita with a twist of the Cupcake inspiration photo. Maybe not quite a 'hole in one', but it makes me smile...
I'm adding my cards to Virginia's View Challenge #18~Geometric Patterns
That's it from me...have a fabulous Friday evening!
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments add sparkle to my day.
Hugs,
WOW! WINNER, WINNER x 2!!!
ReplyDeleteThe blue leaf on the 'tree' background is stunning! The velum butterfly, the bling and that FABULOUS sentiment pair up perfectly with the graphic blue & green border!
Yep - like I said right off the hop - two medal winning creations!
Beautiful - love the leaf in blue and silver and the geometry is the perfect contrast to the butterfly! Love these!
ReplyDeleteTwo FABULOUS cards, Carol! I love your take on the Code Word...blue is silver is so elegant, and I love your embossed background! What an amazing CASE of Anita's card, too! I love the geometric angles with your butterfly, and the color palette is stunning!

ReplyDeleteAmazing cards, Carol! Please share some of your mojo with me. lol I'm loving both and I bet you totally win the challengeds you've entered.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue leaf, Carol, so striking ... and gorgeous with the birch tree background! Thanks so much for the lovely shout out, my sweet friend ... what a stunning CASE ... your filigree butterfly is just spectacular against that awesome geometric line! To echo so many others, these are both WWCDs! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteOh i love the all the blue!! The leaf is so cool! I love the graphic look of the second!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful simplicity and texture!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help but notice your lovely blue embossed leaf card on Darnell's challenge -- it popped off the page.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a fantastic job CASEing Anita's card. The colours are beautiful and I love the white butterfly with the white background. And that blue leaf is stunning with that amazing embossed background. You must have an incredible collection of embossing folders!!
ReplyDeleteI love the geometric shapes in your cards! Absolutely beautiful! I saw your card on NBUS and just had to comment. The pretty blue caught my eye!
ReplyDelete2 great cards but I really love that geometric panel behind the beautiful vellum butterfly!
ReplyDeleteTwo more beauties that I have missed. Love that silver leaf over that yummy textured background. That one is so stunning. And, your butterfly over your amazingly colored and shaded background strip...simply divine.
ReplyDeleteThese are both gorgeous, as always, Carol! Thank you so much for your sweet words and for playing in my NBUS Challenge #5! Thank you. too, for understanding and forgiving me for being so terribly late coming by to comment! Enjoy your day!! Hugs, Darnell
