Two Cards for A Few Challenges

Hello and Welcome!

It's been a hot minute since I've posted, I apologize, but life has gotten busier around here.  Sometimes I wonder if it's gotten busier or I've just gotten older and slower!  Either way, I'm glad you stopped by!

Today's card all started from the Color Hues #131 - Coral and Green.  I wanted to use another product that  been has neglected, so today it has. The first step was hot foiling, then Copic coloring, a selective "haircut", and an embossed panel.  Finally, I cut a few NBUS tiny butterflies, secured them from their mid-section and lifted their wings, so it'll be entered over at NBUS #85.  It took me so long to get this completed, that a new sketch challenge worked perfectly.  So this particular card will go to FMS #733.

After finishing this card, I realized a had a previous panel colored with the same colors from Color Hues #131, so I challenged myself to get it done before that challenge goes away!  Again, I used an embossed panel behind, strategically cut the flowers with a die and popped up the center with two additional layers.  I had the foiled sentiment already in my stash, so this one was also QACAS, after adding the gems.

Supplies:

   Card #1 - Splb Leafy 3d e/f, More Sentiments hfp; LDRS Breezy Blossoms pp; Ps Bunches of Butterflies (NBUS)

   Card #2 - Splb Leafy 3d e/f, Altenew Sisters of the Heart stamp/stencils; You Are Everything sentiment pp; PFS clear Gold                         Dust gems

Well I must get with the post so I can get these added to the challenges.  Thanks so much for your visits and wonderful sentiments!

Hugs,

TK
