Freshly Made Birthday Card with colourQ

It's been a while since I was actively making cards

and now finding it hard to get back on track.

This card (2 versions) is made for 2 lovely challenges

Freshly Made Sketches FMS74 and colourQ's cQc#177

 

The white base is slightly dimpled 220g paper.

The patterned paper is BoBunny's mounted on the cherry cobbler ticket

and for contrast in version 2, I placed the green border.

A simple birthday card for you.

 

Happy Birthday to Me

This birthday card is freshly made for

Freshly Made Sketches #70 with colourQ challenge $173

 

Finally making use of Cuttlebug's Happy Birthday embossing folder.

The flower and leaves are from the evergreen Spellbinders Carnation Creation.

It was my birthday yesterday.

So, Have a blessed Happy Birthday to me!!

This card is also submitted for Daring Cardmakers Embossability.

Freshly Made for FMS68

This card is made for these two wonderful challenges

Freshly Made Sketches and colourQ Challenge.

 

Love the colours but struggled a while in perfecting the card.

At first, I followed the sketch to a T.  It did not look right.

So I toyed with the same papers and took a different root.

I cut a window in the patterned paper with Sizzix Ticket die

and ran the outer paper with the die on Spellbinders Magnetic Spacer Plate

to make a fine embossed frame.

The flowers are made with Spellbinders Carnation Creation

and set in place with brads.

Look, no buttons!!

What a stunning card.

Thank You MOJO273 and cQc#169

Yet another nice surprise!!  This time with colourQ for the card I made with Mojo Monday's sketch MOJO265.  I was selected as one of the colourQ Courtiers for the challenge.  Many thanks to colourQ and the wonderful DTs for all the inspirations and recognition.  And thanks to Nance for your comment.  If I had not signed on my blog to read the comments, I would never have found out about this!!
