Week 3, Day 4, a challenge

Today's online card class challenge is to go outside your comfort zone.  I'm having difficulty with this week's colour palette, but I assume that doesn't count! LOL! 
I find geometric designs tricky (I'm much more of a flowers, leaves, hearts and butterfies girl!), and I also find using multiple patterned papers together a real challenge (takes me AGES to settle on a combination).  So I decided to try both together to really stretch myself, and the patterned papers even come from not just three different sets, but from three separate companies!!!
I used the sketch from CAS(e) this sketch, but I missed the submission deadline by a day :(   However, I'll be submitting this card to Moxie Fab World's Trendy Triangles Challenge. 
Thanks so much for visiting - have a great day!

Some paper piecing for an engagement!

A very happy card today - for a very happy engagement!

 I'll be submitting this to Lawnscaping's paper piecing challenge.

 Have a great day!


Class colours and a sketch

Trying to use the Online card class colours again - not the easiest colours!! I had a look through my patterned paper stash, but couldn't find what I wanted - so I made some modifications!! I used some paper from Basic Grey's Hipster collection - but I coloured in the teeny tiny pink flowers to make them two different shades of purple ;)
The sketch is from CAS(e) this sketch challenge #37.
I'll be submitting this card to Moxie Fab World's Birthday Card Challenge.

Online card class - week 3, day 1

I was a bit unsure about this week's Summer Card Camp colour scheme when I first saw it!  hmmm!! But then, whilst going through a Hero Arts Blog Hop this morning, I came across such a gorgeous card by Kathy Racoosin of The Daily Marker (check it out HERE), I was inspired to make this:

 Mine is a lot simpler than Kathy's masterpiece, but I'm happy I was able to stick to the class colour scheme :)
I'll submit this card to Moxie Fab World's Birthday Card Challenge :)

Another card for Week 2, Day 4

I thought I'd have a look through my scraps of pretty wrapping paper and other materials I keep from gifts to see if I had something from a Christmas gift to make into a card for today's Online Card Class challenge - I found some cool green mesh-y stuff that was once on a present, and this is what I came up with:
