A birthday card, with triangles in cool colors

 And another CAS and quick card, this time in cool colors - huse of blue and purple, inspired by the 2nd challenge at AAA Colourful:

I used one stamp from Altenew 'Sohcahtoa' stamps set.

It also goes for some more challenges:

AAA Cards, with this sketch:

I used the sketch very loosely... I was inspired by line of elements, rotated it to horizontal lind, and used triagngles as my element.

Two birthday cards, using solid cardstock scraps

 Every now and then, I go to my solid cardstocks scraps, and try to use them and reduce the big pile.

For these two cards, I went for warm colors. 

The first:

I adhered the stripes on a black cs (also from the scraps bin), and for the interest I adhered them in different hights.

Then I adhered it to a white basis, add a sticker, and that's it. I didn't feel like adding any additional accents.

It goes for the AAA Birthday challenge blog, which asked for 'Geometric', and I used rectangles:

Since I was left with scraps from this card, I decided to make another one:

This time, I used kraft basis, turned the stripes to the side, again in different hights, and added some leaves in cooler colors, to make this card more colorful.

So this 2nd card is for the 'Colourful' challenge at AAA Colourful challenge:

And here both of the cards together:

A birthday card with a green butterfly

For today, I have a rather dramatic birthday card to share.

Th florish stamp is an oldie one from Blue Fern Studios. I think I have it for more than 10 years, and I haven't used it for ages. I stamped it in VersaFine onyx black ink.

The flower is MFT Brilliant Butterflies stamps and dies set. I stamped it in distress oxide inks - rustic wilderness and twisted citron, and again onyx black ink. 

I also stamped some dots in twisted citron ink, and added two glittery enamel dots in dark green.

I double matted the stamped panel with black cardstock and with a white cardstock, which I inked with the distress oxide rustic wildeerness (and so I did for the horizontal stripe at the bottom.

The sentiment was stamped on a citron cardstock with Pinkfresh evergreen ink.

A vase full of orange blooms - a thank you card

 

One of the Top 3 for cards

at Pinkfrehs Studio

I made the Cut Above

at The Paper Players

Today's card was inspired by some challenges:

First, the November challenge at PinkFresh Studio, with multi colors inspiration and lots of leaves, and the theme of 'Thanks':

I used PinkFresh Studio 'Floral Vase' stencils and dies set.

The vase was colored with some distress oxide inks in shades of light blue (speckled egg; tumbled glass; salty ocean). The leaves were also colored with distress oxide inks (shabby shutters; peeled paint). The floral bouquet was colored with PinkFresh ink cubes (clementine; persimmon).

After ink blending through the stencils, I die cut the vase and the bouquet with the coordinate dies, and adhered to the card base, where the bouquet was adhered using some foam dots.

The sentiment is from another PinkFresh Studio set, 'Seamless Starburst Circles'.

For the final touch, I added some clear dots on the vase, and some green glittery dots.

The other challenges are also about thanks and gratitude:

A Get Well card for a wounded policeman

 Since the war has begun, 11 days ago, I'm in a creative block. Just can't create.

But yesterday I went the hospital to visit a wounded policeman, who bravery fought Hamas terrorists, and saved another policman's live.

So I made this very CAS card for him. The stamp, whit the saluting soldeir image,  says 'We salute you', and the sentiment on the bottom says 'Quick Recovery'.

A heart full of thanks card

This is my 2nd card today, and also 2nd in the 'pay it forward' cards I'm making (you can see the 1st one HERE).

The pp had a big white heart, and I die cut a smaller heart in the middle of that white heart, and matted the pp with a mango cardstock.

From the die cut heart, I die cut a smaller heart, and inked it with distress oxide ink (saltwater taffy), and stamped the sentiment in the middle (it says Thank You! in Hebrew).

I adhered the small heart to the middle of the bigger heart with foam tape, and added some mat enamel dots in mango color, to match the inside of the heart.

I followed, loosely, the sketch from My Favorite Things challenge, replacing the hexagon with the heart:
