i like the way you roll .... on clouds

created this card for the CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #77, and also for Lawnscaping Challenge #82: Distress Mania

with a bit of masking work and some distress inks - the sky background was easily created - for my white and blue clouds and yellow sun to sit on

* the die-cuts are from Lawn Fawn - Large Stitched Journaling Card set and Spring Showers set

* the sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's Let's Roll sushi stamp set, but I think it goes so well with the 'rolling' clouds ... 

arigato amidst sakura pink

using just two very mini sakura flower stamps, and multi-shades of pink, red and purple ink pads - this simple cascading design of sakura flowers was done in no time at all

card was finished with the 'arigato' sentiment stamped and clear-embossed in place, pink rhinestones affixed to the centre of a sprinkling of the flowers, pink glitter glue added to others

card inspiration comes from this week's Lawnscaping Challenge #81 - Create your own background using stamps

the sakura and arigato stamps are from Lawn Fawn - Let's Roll stamp set

mini-cards

This set of 3" x 4" mini cards were so much fun to make, quick and easy, and perfect as gift toppers. Thanks to Lawnscaping Challenge #80 : Mini theme for pushing me in this direction.

With less surface space, this set of small cute stamps from Lawn Fawn - Admit One stamp set and die-cut collection were perfect for taking the center-stage of the cards.

Can't wait to do more of these mini-explosion of colours!

POST NOTE (4 May 2014) - yippeeeee .... these set of cards were chosen as the winner of the Lawnscaping Mini Challenge... how cool is that!
