Making cards for fun!

Well! today is one for those special days when I got a chance to make cards just to play along a few challenges. I hardly get a chance to play along, the way I used too ;)

 My first card uses distress inks and masking, quick and CAS. To make this card, I used a post it note to cut three different wavy shapes to serve as my masks. I took a panel and distress inks and inked these with variation on intensity of the inks while masking simultaneously.
I am sharing this at CASology Week 134 - Monochrome, AAA card challenge #33 - Orange and Stamping Royalty #267 - Photo Inspiration
 


Then I created another card. Here I was inspired by a few challenges and also one of the designs from fabulous Therese Calvird from one of her cards HERE. She is just amazing... I am always inspired by her :) Thank you for all your awesome videos and amazing inspiration :) In my card instead of stamping on the base, I used some patterned paper panel :)

I am sharing this card at Curtain Call Photo Inspiration - Donut Delight, As you see it Challenge #74, Freshly Made Sketches #174 and ATSM #132 - Make your Mark
