Well I got some time to play yesterday and made 2 cards for you today. My new puppy is very demanding so I was often sitting at my table with her on my lap sleeping. Despite her demands for my attention, I did get the cards finished and photographs taken so I could post them today.
The first card uses the sketch from the Card Patterns blog. I included the challenge from the Stampin’ B’s Design Team blog to include a butterfly on your card. I just missed the deadline for the Stampin’ B’s challenge as it had to be posted before today. Doesn’t matter I really like this card.
I used the Stylized Flowers Embossing folder and Cameo Coral and Certainly Celery markers to color in the recessed areas of the embossing folder. I then ran my folder and paper through the Cuttlebug and it embossed and colored the flowers and leaves. Normally you use an ink pad and swipe it across the flat side of the folder. This allows you to put color on the cardstock that is not embossed and if you have flowers, you cannot do the leaves and flowers different colors. Here is the sketch and my creation.

Stamps: Matchbox Messages, Pocket Silhouettes, Priceless Paper: Cameo Coral, Certainly Celery, white Ink: Ballet Blue, Cameo Coral, Certainly Celery Accessories: Cameo Coral and Certainly Celery markers, Stylized Flowers Cuttlebug embossing folder, Arch Lattice border punch (Martha Stewart), ribbon (JoAnn’s), sticky tape, dimensionals
My second card today uses the sketch from the Sketch Saturday blog. I combined it with the challenge from the Our Creative Corner blog which was to use 3 different embellishments. For my 3 embellishments I pulled out some paper flowers I bought several years ago on clearance and had not used them. I combined the flower with ribbon and brads to make my 3 embellishments. Everything else just seemed to fall into place. I seemed to be into polka dots on this card and if you’ll notice the stamped image even has dots on it (did not plan that one!). Here is the sketch and my creation.

Hope you enjoyed my cards today. I am hoping to make some cards for you tomorrow but it will depend on some appointments I have today. Thanks for looking and have a Fantastic Friday!

What beautiful cards! I love the softness of the first and the embossing, especially. Glad you could join us on CP.
Wonderful cards! Thanks for playing along with the OCC!!!
Robbie I like both of these cards. They are so pretty. And different. Loved the pink one the best. Great ideas to pass on for us to try. I haven't tried colors on the embossing, but I should because i like the way it looks. Sandy
