Real Deal and Hello for The Card Concept and Color Throwdown.

Hello again!  I was creative this weekend. 

If you're looking for the CASE a Card Blog Hop - Click here to continue on the hop.




And again, if you didn't know about the hop, highly recommend you check it out as it's a great hop that shows the progression of card as it is CASE'd from one person to another (and there is a prize).

I have two more cards to share this afternoon.  My "go to place" for inspiration - StampNation - was having a virtual retreat this past week.  I wanted to share a few more cards that I created there that were mixed with some other challenges. 

First up . . . for The Card Concept . . . they had an amazing inspiration photo . . .



I immediately thought of a deck of cards, but was also drawn to those chevrons in the photo.  I set out to create and Clean and Layered card.  One of the challenges at StampNation was to try a new technique.  So I wanted to do layering of stencils. 

 

 The spade, heart, diamond and club were stenciled onto the white cardstock first, and then I used a second stencil to add the chevron embossing. 


I used an opaque embossing paste and some glitter.  I was pleased with how it turned out, as it will be an awesome masculine card (and we all need those). 

My next card was for Color Throwdown, whose color scheme this week was . . .



Daisies . . . Kathleen Kelly's favorite flower in You've Got Mail.  StampNation had challenged us to make a thinking of your or miss you card.  So here is my card . . .


I used up supplies from a kit from The Stamps of Life, and just added some ink, Stickles and metallic spray.  


I hope you found some time to create today!
