Deco entries

I'm finally inspired to make pages in decos I received quite some time ago. These two pages are for ship themed deco and a Santa Claus themed deco.

Several card challenge blogs have things with wings as their current challenges. I also used a sketch as inspiration. Except that I realized that my favorite butterfly stamp is so large that the squares covered the entire card instead of just the middle. Oh well. Links to the challenges below my card.

Daffodils

Today's card is made for TGIF Challenges sketch, Retro Rubber Challenge "Sweet Spring Flowers" and Seize The Birthday "Flowers".

The daffodil is a stamp I designed for Reprint Hobby twenty (!!!) years ago. Birthday sentiment is from Slöjd-Detaljer.

Flowers deco

I realize I haven't posted much snail mail stuff. Here's incoming mail from last month - a full Flower themed deco. Made for and by me, and beautifully decorated by the participants.

Rock

Yay, I made another card! I'm not really happy with the result of the Elvis stamp. Maybe I should try to stamp on photo paper? Anyway. I was inspired by Paper Craft Crew's Tic Tac Toe challenge, where I went for masculine, embossing (image + sentiment) and neutral, and AAA Birthday's challenge "Anything Birthday Goes".

Black cat and gardening

Yesterday we said goodbye to a colleague who worked her last day before her retirement. She loves gardening and owns a black cat. I have always been anti-AI. But I thought I would give it a try. I asked for an image with a garden and a black cat. I'm quite pleased with what I got. 😊

I used the current sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. I realized I've put the focal point further up than it is in the sketch, so maybe I don't qualify. Never mind, I got the card made. Believe it or not, this is my SECOND card this year! I used to make at least one a week...
