Monthly Club Cards

Hi Everyone,
Hope you had a great weekend. We've had quite a bit of rain here in my area this month and tomorrow it's supposed to be sunny and no rain. That's great news.

Tonight we had our monthly stamp club meeting and I want to share with you the two cards I made. We always have a challenge, where we have to make something with something we receive. The other card is designed around a theme.

Card #1
OK for my challenge card  I was given a sticker. It was about 3"X4" and the image showed a black cat in a bunch of purple flowers with writing at the bottom.

First I embossed the front of the card. Then I cut the bottom of the sticker off into separate the two areas, I mounted the top image onto a piece of CS that I cut from a gorgeous die and used celery green CS. I added a few shaped purple flowers flowers and I added FlowerSoft to the flower centers. Next I added the cut away piece back to the card under the flowers.After that I added some small branches among the flowers just to add more interest and lastly added a bow. I tied the bow onto the card using a thick purple woven ribbon. Bow made using the Craft-Dee BowZ tool.
