4 cards for Sunday

 It's been a while, but I have been busy.  Getting rid of a lot of 12 x 12 paper into cards and able to use it in a few Christmas cards as well.  Thanks to all those lovely people who took the time to wish my daughter well with getting braces on, so thoughtful.  She has come through it really well and is not very noticeable.  The first few days were a diet of tomato soup and Nurofen but things are pretty much back to normal.  It helped too, that she had friends over the following 2 days to take her mind of it.

Now for some cards, which came together remarkably quickly



Loved this sketch as soon as I saw it.  I thought of stitching over  the stripes, glad I didn't, and love the look of the final result.


What you need
Cardstock - BB Navy, Red;  PTI white
Stamps - HA Year Round Sentiments
Dies - PTI Hearts;  MFT Fishtail Flag Stax
Ink - SU Real Red
Gems - SU

*****




What a stunning dress!  So elegant!



I didn't want to mess around with it too much, and glad I didn't add anymore leaves.  I know there was no red in the graphic, but, hey, it was still on my desk.

What you need
Cardstock - PTI white
Stamps - PTI Embroidered Blooms
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black; SU Real Red
Gems - Kaisercraft

****


Who can resist red and kraft/cream.  I used the picture in the top right corner and in the process used up another paper from my stash.  Couldn't think of any better stamp set to use than the Nordic style Folk Art Florals.


What you need
Cardstock - PTI Kraft, cream, red
Patterned Paper - American Crafts
Stamps - Wplus9 Folk Art Florals;  Verve (sentiment)
Ink - SU Real Red;  PTI Kraft
Dies - Spellbinders Classic Rectangles


****


Unusual from me, so few combined challenge cards, but couldn't not go without doing it.  More black but I love it with grey, and even though Father's Day for us is in September, my card is already done.




 What you need
Cardstock - PTI white, black;  Silver glitter Doodlebug ?
Stamps - PTI A Little Argyle;  Wplus9 Woodgrain Silhouettes (sentiment)
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black, London Fog, Grey Flannel
Dies - PTI Pretty Peonies
