Card Math #2

ok, for those of you who wonder how I come up with my card ideas, it's kind of like math...


1. Paper Crafts Gallery Idol Challenge's theme was ENCOURAGEMENT cards, I immediately knew I wanted to make a card with my new stamp set by HERO ARTS which had a sentiment saying "Every Little Thing is Gonna Be Alright."

PLUS

2. I was skimming through Pinterest on my way to the Sand Dunes National Park with the family and I found this fantastic card by the great JJ BOLTON. Now NO one and I mean NO ONE does dies like JJ. Hands Down, game over.  And so, in honor of her awesomeness, I wanted to play with my dies too and see what I could come up with. I think though my card CASEs hers.

PLUS

3. I recently purchased a similar die to the one she has in her card called Country Landscape from Simon Says Stamp with my recent win from Runway Inspired Challenge.

PLUS

4. My blog buddy Virginia, has a new challenge using this photo.


PLUS

5. When I want to say wow on a card, I use glitter. It's just standard practice around here.

add that all up and you get my card:



and this modified version for the gallery:


Today is the LAST day to enter Paper Crafts Gallery Idol Challenge. In a last ditch effort I made these additional cards. I am burnt out and going to take a rest for a while. Then after I find out I lost, I will lick my wounds and try again to create something wonderful.







The above card was inspired by this one on PINTEREST. I wanted to join the triange bandwagon!

I just know you will miss me...hehe ;)
