At last I think my mojo has returned and I have made two cards today using the same theme. The new Hero Arts challenge includes three sketch challenges and I have used one of them to create these cards. I have also managed to use up a few scraps as well, which is always a bonus!!
These cards are also eligible for the current CAS ual Friday challenge of a "Clean and Simple" card with bling added.
We have a long holiday weekend in the UK for the Queen's Jubilee and don't you know it the weather has changed from bright and sunny to wet!! There are loads of street parties planned and we are having a family barbecue on Tuesday, I think we are going to need umbrellas!!!
Have a fun week.
Loving this sketch, and your cards, too, Sally!
ReplyDeleteI love these, Sally! CAS perfection! I'm sitting here watching the boats on the Thames while I type. Hope the weather clears soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope the weather improves for you soon, Sally! Love your card! The scraps you used are beautiful!
