365 Cards Day 145 ~ Overlapped

I'm up today with my take on a challenge called "Overlapped"

That means that we want to see every element on your card overlapping at least one other item on the card.  You can use any theme and any design elements you wish, as long as every component overlaps another component.

I found a very suitable sketch from Cardabilities for this challenge and followed it quite closely.  

Used Spellbinders' Carnation Creations to die cut the palm fronts and Cosmo Cricket Salt Air paper for the tree trunks and grass.  The clouds are hand cut freestyle.  It looks like a hot tropical day.

3-in-1 Challenges Card ~ Thinking of You

365 Cards Day 106 ~ See Through
Create two windows on your card - any where and any way you wish, just be sure to have something peeking through them.

The sketch I used is of Cardabilities Sketch #57 which I think is great for this card.


This card is also made for Daring Cardmakers' Challenge:

'A Hole in One'

This week I challenge you to use your punches and die cuts in the reverse, so don't use the cut out, use the part that's left, the hole!

The card turned out simply amazing, I think.  The normal window is a scalloped square I cut on the card directly to reveal a flower in the background.  Then I placed little scalloped squares of embossed cards to make up the other squares on the sketch.  Finally, the other window (or window on window) on the green scalloped square is a yellow flower which has a little violet flower in its hole and in that a green jewel peeking through.

Through the window of my heart, I am thinking of you...

365 Cards Day 73 ~ The 3 F's

Let's finish off the week with 3 trigger words that begin with the letter F...

Floss, Fuschia and Flower

Took a while to make this card as I was not sure of what floss was.  Googled it as floss for making cards and search came up with two main categories - dental floss and embroidery floss.  Couldn't be dental floss.  It was sometime yesterday that Dobea confirmed that it is embroidery floss (or yarn or thread).  So I got to making the card after I completed the card for Day 74.

For this card, I used Cardabilities Sketch #54 for its simplicity.

Instead of using patterned paper, I decided to leave the card background plain for an elegant clean and simple look.  Thought that this card is apt for Outlawz Greeting Challenge May 14 (Purple for Peace Day), I stamped a sentiment With Love to make it right for the challenge.
