 Happy Summer Crafty Friends!  

Do your summer plans include crafting?  Travelling?  Projects around the home?  I am ready to catch up on all the things.  

Baby cards are on the agenda so I pulled out an oldie, yet never used stamp set from Altenew.  I was inspired by the Festive Friday Challenge~

I used masculine colors, textured cardstock, and geometric design for this card.  

Mostly I did a lot of fussy cutting after stamping the image on 3 different colors of cs.  I used an old, old SU embossing folder and the sentiment is a retired SnSS set.  

I am also linking up to Can You Handle the Pressure- Zoo Animals and Inkspirational Challenges- Celebrate.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Rose on Black

 Hello, Hello!  

The crafting rut has struck so I am really relying on challenges and techniques, etc that I have not done in a long while.  I loved the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and for a while there it was very trendy to pop up parts of a background and use the negative space.  That fit this week's sketch perfectly. 

I added some yellow in the way of patterned paper behind the background panels and rose.  This card was a 'bits and pieces' card- things leftover from prior projects.  The rose has been in my stash for about a year.  The leaves are probably about 8 years old-yep!  The patterned paper scrap, well, we all have those stashes of little bits of paper hanging around.  

The rose is from Creative Worship Stamps, the leaves are from Heartfelt Creations (no longer in business) and the embossing folder is my newest one, from Penny Black.  

Some gold threat and sequins finish the card.  

Here is the Freshly Made Sketches sketch~

My colors are from Color Dare Challenge~
