You are Amazing

Day 1 of the Online Card Class - Mask-erade.  This is my homework for Laura Bassen's ink blending with masks lessons.  I like the hummer done this way because it gives the bird some motion.

Faux Laser Cut Card

The inspiration site for the SCS Inspiration challenge tonight was the Paper Art & Sculpture Pinterest site.  I was inspired by two pins:  the humming bird and this pin, the 3rd frame down.  This site reminded me of the Faux Laser Cut technique that Jennifer McGuire shared on her blog.  I used a Quickutz Hummingbird die and a Cuttlebug/Anna Griffin flower die to make this card.

I am submitting this card to the following challenges:

Virginia's View Challenge #11 - Clean Slate

The Curtain Call - Winter Wonder  
I was inspired by the neutral colors in the photo.

ShowCASe Your Style  - Use at least one die cut

Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

Darnell's NBUS challenge #3  - This is the first time I used the hummingbird die.

Season's Greetings

Well I am slowly getting back into card making after working on my friend's school board election.  I did two SCS challenges two days in a row which I haven't done for about a month!  THis card was created for CAS196 which was to follow a sketch by va.sunshine (Teresa).  I embossed the card base with a Holiday Words embossing folder from Quickutz.  The banners were hand cut from scraps of old patterned holiday papers from Making Memories.  THe ribbon is from my stash.
