I made a card being inspired by the colors over at AAA Cards.
I had an image from Scrappehuset that was spot on for the colors, and I made my own background using a mix of distress and distress oxide inks, colors aged mahogany, wild honey, kitsch flamingo and mustard seed.
I wanted a bit of texture to the background so I used a Lisa Horton embossing folder. For a CAS look that might have been a mistake? I liked the look and cut the panel smaller so more of the card base would show. In retrospect I could have done it even smaller, but I liked the look of it.
I kept the design simple by not adding any embellishments other than a touch a stickles glue on the flower's centres, as well as a simple greeting.
Sometimes I find it hard to know exactly where the limit is for CAS and I will not be offended in any way if my card will be removed. But I liked the colors for a summery look and feel and wanted to join:

Normally I make many Christmas cards in July, but with this heat I've been unable to make much at all, and so so far one Christmas card only! Rain and cooler temperatures have been predicted for today and I hope that will be the case.
I have used a Spellbinder embossing folder, and the image is from Mintay's Christmas book, I used a bauble die set from Craft It. Pine die from Papirdesign and sentiment from Gummiapan.
I inked the edges of the bauble and mounted it on foam for a little dimension.

It's been a while since I last used a sketch. Sketch challenges used to be my number 1 favorite. I guess they still are, when I have enough time to play.
This sketch really appealed to me and I went with a nautical inspired card, using designer papers, kraft paper, an ephemera anchor, cheese cloth, enamel dots and a sticker sentiment. A quick and easy card,

I wanted to use some of the paper scraps leftovers from Scrapboys, most of them from the series of Lady in Red. I also cut out a leaf, my favorte die of the moment, from Little Birdie.
I inked all edges in brown distress ink and splattered with black ink. A leftover piece of lace was added too.

Moving along with the Times - #190 June, Use Your Favorite Stamp, Die or Tool (lef die)
My favorite cards to make are the ones for the boys and men of any age. So this weekend I sat down and created this card, using an old cut out image from Maja Design. I chose to keep with blue, white and silver colors, as well as a jeans and star theme. I find stars always work as an embellishment for the masculine designs.
I used several dies: star and sentiment tags from Gummiapan, small stars and photo frame from Lawn Fawn, a star frame from Dixi Craft and stitched star dies from Craft&You.

At Inkspirational the new challenge is a visual prompt and we want to

I love playing with sketches, but it's been awhile. I love cutting and Craft o'Clock has many series to choose from. Here I used 4 frames and for butterblies and a designer paper. A greeting in Norwegian and 3 enamel dots were the only embellihsments,
I was inspired by the circles and the greeneries. So out came my new Little Birdie background die, bought during my recent 3 week stay in India. The circles being not entirely round shaped I though they would also make great giraffe spots. The giraffe image and sentiment are from Craft Stash, included as a freebie with a UK magazine some years ago.I love African themed animals and prints, so I have saved the set until now. The background paper is Craft o´Clock. I used arch dies as my panel for the image and decorated with leaves made with dies from Simple and Basic and small flowers from Little Birdie.
