Virtual Retreat w/My Crafty Group, StampNation

I have two cards to share with you this morning.

First, as you know, StampNation is my crafty place to go for inspiration.  I talk about them alot.  It is a site that I pay for . . . a quarter and a nickel a day.  It is the most amazing group of crafty individuals, and so supportive and encouraging of each other's work.  This week they are having a "virtual retreat" and so these cards were created using their challenge inspiration in combination with two other challenges.

So first up - StampNation challenged us to use only one stamp set, three ink pads and one type of embellishment on a card.  I had been looking at Just Us Girls challenge which was to use white, brown and one other color on a card.  So here goes . . .

One stamp set . . . white, brown and red . . . and some ribbon.

Love that adorable little bunny! 

StampNation's second challenge of the week was to create a card using transportation.  I used a sketch from Happy Little Stampers - their April Sketch.

 And then I channeled my last trip on I-95, which is the highway that runs north/south on the east coast of the United States.  Can you say traffic . . .

 Lots and lots of traffic.  Hard to see, but there is Liquid Glass on all the car windows, and sequins for the hub caps. 

Fun cards to make!  I hope you find some time to create this week.
