Hello and happy Sunday to everyone. I have two cards today for two different sketch challenges. First up is the SSS151 and here is my card....
I made a spring-like card using the SNSS Your Friendship stamp set along with some soft and pretty Echo Park springtime papers. I embossed some scraps of aqua and yellow card stock, then punched some flowers using a MS set of hydrangea punches. I layered them up with some ferns and leaves and added some Viva pearl pen accents, along with a little bow.
Here is the layout for the OWH Stars and Stamps sketch#114. They're in need of some "guy" cards and you can read all about it by clicking the link above.
Here's my card for the challenge, this time using the Super Dad digi image from SNSS. I layered it with fleur de lis and postage stamp dies, and colored it with Copics. I added some diamond-plate embossing to the red panel, and added a piece of BG kraft dsp to the blue panel, adding some gold brads just to balance everything, since the focal point is slightly off-center.
That's going to do it for me today, so thanks for dropping by and enjoy your day!

Hi Carol! It's fun to see such dramatically different cards in one post, rocking the feminine and the masculine! Those flowers are adorable on your first card and I love the yellow and aqua colors. The Dad card is so fun, just love it. I really like the way the center panel is layered too. Great job!

Carol, your cards are super duper as usual. I think we both like aqua and yellow together as that is what my latest card is and your masculine creation is great. That diamond-plate embossing folder is always great for the guys.
Have a great week.

HAPPY sighs, ALL around, as THAT first card made me positively DREAMY, while card number two made me SIT UP STRAIGHT, as terrific "man" cards ALWAYS get my attention! Bravissimo!
These are great! Love all the dimensional flowers on the first one, and that image on the second one is one I should get! I could use that for dad's father's day card.
