Two Cards, Three Challenges

Happy Saturday, peeps!  Hope you have some family plans set up this weekend....I am looking forward to ours, I know!  I needed to make a Father's Day card for Wayne, so I went searching for some challenges and came up with a sketch challenge from Inspire.Create and a color challenge from CAS Colours and Sketches (I hope it's CAS enough!):

I had gotten this Clearly Whimsy Ocean Journey set a long time ago and I don't think I've gotten it inky once!

I stamped the images in Night of Navy, doing a little paper piecing for the boat (upside down anchors---hopefully he won't notice!), adding some trim from the Playful Pets combo along with a few diecut stars:

Both sentiments, inside and out, were from different past Paper Pumpkin kits, both diecut with Stitched Rectangle dies:

My second card is for the Color My Heart Dare challenge, which is monochromatic yellow:

I already had made this card but hadn't posted it, so it was perfect.  I think this is my favorite paper from the Flowers for All Seasons DSP pack:

I just layered a panel of Bumblebee, diecut with a Nested Layers die, over top of the DSP and mounted it on a Whisper White card.  The sentiment is from Here's a Card, stamped also in Bumblebee.  Simple but oh, so pretty!  I added a few Gold Gilded gems for fun:

And Cassidy made a card for her daddy (she already had one for Wayne), and as you know, she has her own style:

Rocking the Stamparatus:

Got all her images and sentiment stamped in black on Merry Merlot (she really likes those dark colors!):

And I was quite impressed with what she did on the inside, and it was all her idea!  She die cut "DADDY", then formed an acrostic for each letter!  And of course, added some hand-drawn hearts as well!  I hope Daddy appreciates it!

Thanks for popping in today--enjoy it and be blessed!
