Two more cards from my mini craft-a-ganza that I'll share quickly as my bed is calling...
Joan's wonderful card over at MUSE #136
*nearly* got the best of me, until I remembered: I do not watercolour! Whew! Once that was established (Mr. Recycle Bin's tummy was nigh close to bursting!), I went with another strategy: sponged colours (pink, yellow and blue) and *flowers*. Mood when done: happy. Very happy! Hope you like my translation, Joan!
My second card is just sheer fun and how wonderful to have a chance to share it at CASology#167~Silly
Does this card look like it's staring at you? Nothing better than big, goofy, googly-eyes!
Thanks so much for dropping by!
To all my wonderful friends: HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! I'm so grateful that you're part of my life and oh, how you've enriched it...
Hugs,
2 great takes Carol!

ReplyDeleteYou have been very crafty, Ms. C! So happy for you that you've been able to have so much fun! Your first card is beautiful. You got the look of watercolor without watercoloring! It looks so soft and pretty! And I adore your second card. Gotta love the eyes watching you! Ha, ha! Hugs!

Now that's quite the combination there, soft subtle and beautiful and then bright, fun and googly! haha! Both are amazing in their own ways! I love the scribble flowers! They are some of my favorite dies right now! And those eyes are just too fun! Happy week!! ((Hugs))
ReplyDeleteHow cute!!! Love the flowers, but the "eye" card made me smile!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your thought process - "do not watercolor"!!! You handled it well and came through with beautifully sponged flowers!
ReplyDeleteThese are both such wonderful cards. I really like all your sponged die cuts, and how you made your sentiment part die cut and part stamped. And, your eye ball card--so totally silly and fun. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.
ReplyDeleteYou really made Joan's card your own! Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd the googly monster card makes me laugh! It's perfect for the "silly" challenge!
Your fist card is beautiful! And your sponging is perfect! How FUN and SILLY is your second card?!! Those eyes!...Love them!
ReplyDeleteFun inspired card - I have those scribbled circles - I don't think I have used them yet.... Great silly card too - perfect for a kid :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and silly card! Love those eyeballs!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Morning sweetie I love the flower card wonderful soft colours, but the scary card made me giggle I love the different coloured eyes, what a fun creation hugs Pops x
ReplyDeleteThose softly sponged circle scribble blooms are just lovely, Carol ... and oh my, what fun (and silly!) googly eyes! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous 'scribble flower' card. I think it is a fabulous interpretation of Joan's card. Love the blue tinted leaves!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing that popped into my head when 'eye' spied your googly eyed card was "the little ones are going to be all over this card!". So stinkin' cute!
Clever girl! These cards illustrate your talent perfectly. You really can make any style or medium pop!
ReplyDeleteOh, how clever you are, Carol! I love how you sponged the Circle Scribbles on your first card, and your really fun take on the Cue Card with your fabulous Halloween card! You sure rocked these challenges!!!
ReplyDeleteThe sponged flower for Muse are just gorgeous, so delicate and pretty--sigh! The eyes on your second card are so fantastic Carol. Big and googley and very silly! Thank you for sharing with us at CASology
ReplyDeleteGuess who's playing catch up now?! I am very impressed with your very clever take on Joan's card - the sponged flowers - genius, pure genius. And the eyes on the second CASology card sure made me chuckle!
ReplyDeletehugs, Asha
You might be surprised by what those Scribble flowers would look like out of the recycle gin paper, Carol. What you did is so soft and lovely and perfect for the challenge, though. And yes there is something staring at me from your blog. I don't know whether to laugh or be scared. ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a Happy Thanksgiving, Carol! The roses card is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteEYE think YOU are NEAT with a capital N - E - A - T!!! Thanks for the friendship and for making such delightful cards!!! Major hugs to you!!!
