Denim and sunflowers

This fun card was made for the Fab n' Funky challenge, which was to use a die and details can be found here: https://fabnfunkychallenges.blogspot.com/2025/06/challenge-618-use-your-die-cuts.html

and it also fit the challenge over on the Inspired by challenge this week:

Torn paper is one of my "go to" techniques and I found this design paper that reminded me of denim so I just tore it into strips and used it for the background. I think sunflowers and denim just seem to fit together in my part of the world, so I used this wonderful die from Spellbinders for my focal point and the sentiment from Creative Worship stamps completed the card. It was stamped in Versafine clair black ink. 

 

Butterfly on an originally designed background

This card is meeting the criteria of two challenges this week and they are:

and because I made my own background paper for this card it also qualified for the Craft Rocket challenge here: 

https://craftrocketchallenges.blogspot.com/2025/06/challenge-126-no-designpaper.html

Here are the details of this card: The background was made with A Colorful Life stencils and distress oxide inks. Then I stamped a Gina K flower from a set that came from Unity in versafine black over that, also a text stamp was used fom Bo Bunny, and the main focus is the layer butterfly stamp that is from Hero Art, as is the sentiment. I used Distress Ink on the layering of  the butterfly. I mounted all of this onto a light blue card base.

Retro Rubber Challenge 256

Art Nudge #625A

Using some of the colors from #625 A and the flowers and pen as part of my inspiration, I made this card using a Simon Says set. I made a stencil from a Sizzix long stemmed flower die. I also used a texture stamp from Bo bunny (I think). The inks for the background were all Distress Oxide inks. The stamping of image, texture and sentiment is done with versafine clair black ink.  The mouse was colored with copic markers and fussy cut.
