YNS Challenge #160: Cool Inspiration

This time the challenge over at Your Next Stamp includes a photo to inspire you. This challenge with its pretty pinks and greys are perfect for this card design that has been on my list to create since I first saw the slim geometric panel. In addition to the colour inspiration from this challenge the style is very much inspired by the awesome work of Leslie Tieu. She creates the most wonderful patterns and florals incased in beautifully watercolored geometric shapes. If you have a chance you should check her work out.

Also make sure to stop by the YNS Challenge Post and check out the rest of the DT projects as well!

YNS Challenge #158: Sentiment Spotlight

Time for a new challenge over at Your Next Stamp - Sentiment Spotlight. I think that we can all agree that sentiment dies are an impactful and easy way to add a sentiment to a card. I also find that they are perfect for when you’ve created your card and perhaps overlooked where your sentiment should go. For my card I used this awesome sentiment die set called Bold Happy Birthday Sentiment which has 2 different size happy dies and 2 different size birthday dies. It was probably one of the first sentiment die sets that I ever bought because the multiple size options made it so versatile.
