Challegnes Galore #2

Hello,

I have 2 cards for 2 different challenges. The 1st is CAS-ual Fridays Shape Card Challenge. This was a real challenge for me. I don't have any shape card templates and haven't really done any in the past (circle cards don;t count!) :)  After trying a few things i remembered i had a bird chipboard. Its a decent size and i think makes a great little card.



I traced the bird twice on white card stock and once on pattern paper. I scored a line at the birds head and tail. I attached the front bird to the back, just above the score line. This makes the birds a card.



With distress ink i lightly inked the pattern paper bird. I tied twine around the birds neck, added a tiny kraft tag that i stamped Thanks in brown ink.



I added blue paper roses along the birds neck. I really like how this turned out, it has a nice vintage feel and is still clean and simple!



The second challenge is Moxie Fab's Beautiful Borders. For this card i die cut some pattern paper with a scallop edged die. I used the green poke a dot negative and lined it up with the pink flower scallops. I adhered this to my kraft cardbase.


Using a poke a dot stamp i added white dots to the cardbase. I used a banner die and white rub-ons to make a baby banner. For the flower i used cupcake baking cups and added a button and twine bow to the middle.



Thanks for looking!!

Dana
