A speed challenge card from Buddy Johanna peaked my interest to join in the fun. After gathering my background designer paper from my stash and colored cardstocks and my PUNCHES as required by this speed challenge and a prepared sentiment from my stash I was ready to go. The patterened paper was trimmed to fit my note card and using Marvy circle punches, I punched the largest of the circles in white and light blue, then the next size was punched finishing with SU’s 1-3/8″ punch. After adhering my circles, the EK Success dragonfly was cut multiple times from the different colors with top layering being vellum. Sentiment added and side circle trimmed off just in time. I CASE’d this card idea from Tina @ cardsandcoffeetime.com.

Oops forgot to mention that my card took 9 minutes and 12 seconds to complete and again that much time to clean up!

It always fun to play along and share my card with:

Splatter, splatter everywhere!!! This is the second attempt of my splatter card which features Gina K Designs Double Peony from the Friendly Wishes card kit, sentiment from GKD’s Blooming Butterfly, GKD carnation and spruce inks and Dr Ph Martin’s bleed proof white for the splatter.

Card #1 uses the same products in landscape orientation but UGH!!! this one looks like it has a case of the measles. The Gansai Tambi Starry Colors gold would have been ok until I got a bit heavy handed with the Dr Ph Martin’s Black Star very intense india ink. I did move to a smaller brush but definitely should have stopped sooner than later with my splats. The Top card I splattered through the stencil so it only shows on the image and not the entire card. More clean up with that method but a much better result.

My card will be shared with:

I also added the top card to the GKD Facebook page monthly mix challenge which was a sympathy card.

Whimsy Stamps Quick Card Fronts are the best and I couldn’t resist including Gnome Wishes patterned paper to my other St Patrick’s Day selections. Do I need more patterned paper? No but these are so adorable and are quick and easy to make a sweet card. I think that the gnomes were getting confused with leprechauns but green is green! I did make the white frame around the gnome using my layering dies. Sentiment included in the package. This card is for our oldest granddaughter.

Since the color of the month is green for Colorful Options this was perfect for me. My card will be shared with:

After being inspired by Buddy Johanna’s recent card that featured a rub on feature, I dug deep in a file cabinet and came across this DCVW Safari Kids Girls run-ons that are glittered. How old and neglected are they? Well they are so neglected they were almost brittle and needed a bit of glue to hold some edges down. The background is a stenciled pattern and a square frame was backed with a piece of vellum.

I felt ambitious to continue with my rainbows and use some of the extra pieces that were die cut for the card posted yesterday. Pink Fresh Studios Color Block Rainbow die and sentiment is Taylored Expressions Happy Occasions. This time the extras did go in the trash. I kind of like the patterned paper rainbow on black cardstock.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and stay safe.

I went through my patterned paper stash and pulled out patterns in each color of the rainbow then die cut a rainbow for each color using Pink Fresh Studios Color Block Rainbow die. My sentiment is Taylored Expressions Happy Occasions and added a few clay hearts to complete my card. If I find the patience, I can make a few more rainbow patterned cards. IF!!!

My card today will be shared with:
