Love & Courage

 Hi everyone!  I made this project for the Fun with Funky Fossils FB Challenge for September.  The challenge is Not Used Yet so I went through my die folder and found this little library card die (Sizzix - Eileen Hull) that I bought YEARS ago but was too intimidated to try using.  So I pulled it out and I made a background with Distress Inks and then stamped my Funky Fossil Bokeh Flowers & LOVE word on the front pocket.  Decorated one of the library cards with just the honeycomb stamp and on the other, I stamped on Kraft and colored with alcohol markers.  I'm in love with this one if I do say so myself!!!!  I hope you like it!  :)  (Both pics just so you can see it assembled & unassembled!)  



I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:   

AllSorts - Autumn Colors/Anything Goes

Creative Knockouts - Anything Goes 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Stamp It! (no digis)

Paper Funday - Anything Goes/Create Your Own Background

.............................................

Next up is a card that I made for a friend who was just diagnosed with cancer:


I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Lost Coast Portal to Creativity #189 - Animals 


Time Out #271 - Friendship/Encouragement/Support

 

Path of Positivity #123 - Strength/Courage


Color Dare #616 (I used brown & white & pink)


I stamped this adorable lion from Unity Stamps, colored with alcohol markers and fussy-cut.  The background was created with varying shades of brown Distress Inks and blended on watercolor paper.  I stamped some heart borders and the sentiment directly on the background and added some bling.  Peace.
