Clean & Simple

I don't know if you have the same problem... I find it difficult to create a masculine card. I mean most of my stamps are flowers and butterflies related, so as the embellishments I bought and I made. Anyhow, I'm playing along with the Clean & Simple challenge on the sketch. It's a bit simple but hey, the theme is "clean & simple", sometimes less is more. I'm quite happy how it turns out. Since it's a birthday card, I'm participating the Birthday Sundae challenge as well.

You are loved...

I'm making the wedding anniversary card using the pink roses I made earlier.

It's still a bit early, cuz our anniversary is 2 months away, but hey, it's better done earlier than later, right?

I'm participating 2 card challenges:
1) 365 cards blog inspired - the blog logo has lots of flowers so I'm using the roses as embellishments
2) card patterns sketch 111

Birthday lion

In order to make good use of the cute stamp set, I decided to make a birthday card out of it. The card is inspired by Clean and Simple challenge #135. I also participate in the Birthday Sundae challenge.

Butterflies

Once in a while, I feel like cleaning up my craft cabinet, and usually I "discovered" something that I haven't used for a while. For example, this butterfly stamp:

Using a Martha Stewart ink pad:


Using some washable pen:


A close up on one of them:

Love...

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind
~ William Shakespeare

I'm making a wedding anniversary card for my parents. I'm also playing with a few card challenges:
1) Card pattern challenge - Sketch 109
2) Polycraft Monday Challenge - Old/Neglected stamp
The stamp I used in the card is one of the stamps I bought at the beginning of my card making hobby. For some reason, it's been hidden for a while.
3) Allsorts challenge - blooming blossoms
