National Scrapbooking Day Cards

Happy weekend! I am feeling accomplished as I managed to get crafty AND I cleaned up my craft room. It was a disaster. Here are two cards I made. One for the Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge and one for the Winnie & Walter mood board challenge. Both photos were taken with my phone and posted on Instagram. I wanted to try them on my blog to see how they looked!


The Mood Board Challenge at Winnie & Walter is so pretty and fun! I was immediately inspired to play with my distress inks and watercolour some embossed images from Verve. I am also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge-Anything Goes.


My second card also uses Verve stamps and it is for their first sketch of the month. I love clean lines and I decided to ink the flowers with a SU! marker and "huff" it. I like the effect and I hope you do too!

  1. What lovely cards!! I like the colors on the Verve. The red and the kraft look fabulous together. On the first card, I like that you used a neutral background to make the watercolored flowers shine. Beautiful cards!!

  3. These cards are fantastic! And wow- that's impressive that you had that much creativity flowing AFTER you spent energy cleaning! Well done! The thing I like about these cards is that they're totally different and totally unique, yet they still have the same classy-whimsical vibe. The color palette on the yellow one is to die for and I adore how you skillfully combined all the patterns so well on the second one. You did a great job on these and I'm so glad you shared them with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
