Hi there, and welcome back!
It's been a few days since I posted. Just busy with life stuff as well as making cards for later. Today's cards are just for play.
I pulled another not-yet-used item from my use-next basket. This time it's a stamp set, an older, but new-ish to me Penny Black set called Especially Micey. I've now used every stamp in the set and I'm feeling good about that!
The first card is simple and clean with the "wish", the leafy vine, and the flower from my oldie stash. I figured the Aster die could double as a dandelion if I colored it yellow. The bee was in my spare parts and the designer paper is years old. I'm trying to use it up, but it just goes on and on.
The second card uses more of that designer paper, along with one of my Stamping Bella Spec-tacular sentiments. I added a fern die, and some Nuvo drops.
My first card is heading over to Simply Clean & Simple where the theme this month is "Birthday".
Card #2 is going to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme is anything goes or "On the Move". I made the second card for last month's PBSC to use patterned paper, but I was too late so I'll go with the anything goes option this month.
Thank you for visiting today. I'll try not take so long before I pop in here again.
