Happy World Card Making Day!

Hi there! I hope you've been able to play along with all the blog hops and challenges going on for World Cardmaking Day ~ There are lots of fun prizes out there!

I've been working on my first card for the past few days for this week's CASology Challenge for the Cue Card ‘Grid’


I think this new MFT Bitty Bear set is my new favorite...I stamped and colored the bear and tree trunk with Copic markers and framed it out with the wonky frame which I die cut with Graphic Grid patterned paper. The hearts were created with Mama Elephant Confetti die and everything was placed on an MFT Blueprints 15 stitched base.
Thanks to Anita for suggesting that I enter this card to the MFT 2017 WCMD Challenge for the category: Challenge #2 - DIE-NAMICS DESIGNS

*****************************

I'm joining in the World Cardmaking Day festivities with this card for the Simon Says Stamp Blog and for the SSS Flickr Challenge for the theme - Anything Goes:


For this card, I embossed the 'Believe' stamp and flowers in Gold and chose a few of my favorite pastels for the petals and leaves. Lastly, I added a few clear gems and MFT Blueprints 15 stitched rectangle for the base...and that was it!

Have a fun weekend ~ Thanks so much for stopping by.

Awww.. The Bitty Bear is so cute and I love how you colored the heart! Great take on the cue word! The SSS card is so pretty! The clear droplets are the perfect embellishment for this beauty! Unfortunately I've got no time for crafting this WCMD weekend! Hope I could participate next year :)!

Oh that Bitty Bear is just adorable, Barb ... he has his hands so full with that wonderfully coloured heart ... you've made it so deliciously puffy! Gorgeous pastels with the gold embossing ... the scripty sentiment is fabulous with those fresh, simple blooms! Haven't had chance for any card making this weekend ... though did spot that MFT have a few WCMD challenges ... think both of these would fit in the 'use dies' one, if you get time to link them up! Hugs, Anita :)

Anita in France said...

Oops, sorry, Barb ... misled you there ... the use dies challenge at MFT isn't to include stamping ... my apologies! Hugs, Anita :)

Your "grid" card is so much fun, the straight lines then cut in a wonky shape - brilliant! Your believe card is beautiful. Metallic embossing wiht the soft colors is outstanding.

Your believe card is stunning, Barb! The elements all work beautifully together. And you make those bitty bears shine - so adorable!
