The first card is for the ROP challenge of using flowers along with using another challenge. So I picked Stamp with Fun's challenge of dots. (I also paper pieced for Just Magnolia but I am to late!!) ROP are having a Guest DT call for the new blog and I would love to have a chance to work with the adorable stamps ~ also Summer that banner is the cutest!!
Anyways here is my card:
I have had this cute little Tilda sitting here on my desk forever waiting to be used and this was just the perfect challenge for her!Paper: My Mind's Eye
Inks: distressed Inks
Accessories: flowers ~ Prima, ribbon ~ Paper Cellar, pearls ~ Kaiser Crafts, sentiment ~ Catslife Press
------------------------------
This next card is also for two challenges. When I seen that the CCT challenge was tags I just had to use the perfect sketch from The Next Level. These challenges were made for each other!! (LOL)
I have had this image half colored forever as well!! I am using more MME paper. I am just in love with there lines and they come out with easier patterns to work with!! I embossed the main image mat with the cuttlebug and sanded all my edges down. This paper sands so nicely!Paper: MME 29th Street Market
Inks: Distress inks, Twinkling H2o's
Accessories: button and twine ~ stash, mesh ~ Nikki's shop
Well thanks so much for sticking around for my long post! I hope you all have a great week-end! My hubby is on vacation next week so we are hoping to get some stuff around the house accomplished and some short day trips in. I just hope the weather improves!!

Both cards are wonderful, but I really love the one for the Next Level challenge. The image tugs at my heartstrings and the shabbiness and sanding really bring it together. All the textures really make it a winner.
Gorgeous card, fabulous Tilda card and love the sweet little boy.

Hi Kathy,
Have had so many problems with my computer lately that have had no time for visits. Which is such a pity since you have done sooooo many totally amazing cards lately.
I scrolled around and it was so heard to pick my favourite to comment :) Suprisingly I ended up with this male card :) So many great details in harmony, beautiful!
