This first card from the Hope You Can Cling To cardmaking challenge was a sketch challenge called "Jimmi's Circles Sketch". I used retired designer paper, two sizes of scallop circles, two sizes of circles, my favorite Four All Seasons (so sad it's retired) stamp set, and Curvey Verses stamp set. I rummaged around in my button box and found the perfect heart button for the smaller circle, then threaded black plaid ribbon through it.
When I saw the title of this next challenge "Looking in on you", I knew I had to make this card with the two birdies looking at each other through a punched out circle. I've done variations on this card before, and it's always a big hit.
"Colors of Hope" was the theme for this card. The challenge was to use green, yellow and brown in the same card. Green and yellow represent Hope, and brown represents Comfort. I used Always Artichoke, So Saffron and Soft Suede with Upsy Daisy.
I saw this card (the birdie one) on Pinterest and had to come check it out on your blog. Just love this concept, darling card. Really have enjoyed your blog! Patti
