Garden Tags with TGIF Sketch Challenge #272

When I saw this week's TGIF challenge I immediately thought of using last month's Close to my Heart's Stamp of the Month called Garden Tags.  I colored them with Toffee, Peach, Black and Wisteria Shimmer Brushes and layered the tags over retired Sweet Girl paper and Black Card Stock.  The stamped image is called Heartfelt Birthday Wish--an oldie but goodie CTMH stamp.

Here is the fabulous TGIF sketch that inspired my card layout:

Color Dare #396 Meets Fusion Card Challenge

I really like the Mix-In Color Palette from Color My Heart Color Dare #396 so I created a second card for the challenge.  I'm still enjoying playing with Through Thick and Thin stamp set (retired May 2020) so it was used to make a fun birthday card based on the Fusion Card Challenge sketch.

The challenge colors I used are Linen, Peacock, Peach and Mint.  The birthday sentiment is from Birthday Greetings.  The patterned background paper is from Sweet Girl (retired CTMH).  The Mint Shimmer Brush was used to color the Mint toilet paper rolls.

Here is the Color Dare Mix-In Color Palette challenge graphic that inspired my card:

Sweet Girl Card with Freshly Made Sketch #414

There is a really interesting sketch at Freshly Made Sketches that really challenged me until I remembered that I own an old Rubbernecker stamp that reads vertically which I was able to use with this card.  I combined the image with a pretty patterned paper set called Sweet Girl (Close to My Heart 2018).

Here is the wonderful sketch that inspired my card layout:
