Hello peeps! What a pretty day we had yesterday...it almost gave me hope that spring is on its way! And a new Inspired By challenge is on its way too....and it really challenged me! Phew!! Let's say that this literal-inspired gal really had to put on her thinking cap for this one...so here we go:
And here's Laurel's prompt:
Truthfully, I had a lot of fun with this...although I wish I had used Night of Navy for my blue hue instead of Blueberry Bushel, but it still makes for a fun card! And the photo really doesn't do it justice!
I started with a sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch, but I wanted to put more circles that what they had, so I just went off in my own direction! I used several circle punches to cut circles from Lost Lagoon, Whisper White and Crumb Cake cardstock, then I sponged, daubered and stamped in a random fashion! Once I had them adhered to my Crumb Cake card, I ran it through my Big Shot with my Subtle embossing folder...I love how it gave it all such great texture! I added a Spellbinders diecut and some Candy Dots to add some dimension!
It's always a challenge to come up with masculine birthday cards, so this will go right in that stack! I hope you'll play along with our challenge this week...you don't have to go literal like I did; check out what the DT did to see how they interpreted the photo! Thanks for popping in today!
Cassidy got a little toy called a Kanoodle:
She had it assembled in about two minutes!! I am sure the mint chocolate chip ice cream helped! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

I spotted our Sketch, AND my [current] favorite embossing folder right away, LeAnne! SO fun!

What a fun card!! Wow!! How the little one has grown!!
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome masculine card LeAnne! I like the little bit of texture you added!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great card LeAnne (that sketch totally foxed me!) so creative. I like the texture and mix of colours and for what it’s worth I actually think the Blueberry Bushel was a good choice - I think navy would have got lost and toned in a little too well.
ReplyDeleteI love your splats, so fun and I love that they are bright blue. Very eye catching.
