Altenew April 2025 Inspiration Challenge

Here is Altenew April 2025 Inspiration Challenge, below is the challenged photo:

 And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I used one of my favorite stamp sets - Altenew's Build-A-Flower: Triumph to create the main focal point on this card. I applied different shades of pinks with Altenew's ink pads to stamp the tulips on a white cardstock. Then I used the greeting stamp from Altenew's Beautiful Inside stamp set to stamp over the tulips with brown ink. I die cut "thanks" (from Altenew's Versatile Greetings die set) on two shades of pink cardstock and attached it at the bottom of the card. Finish the card by blending some brown ink around the background to create a vintage look. Below is another look of the card:

Supplies:

Cardstock: Altenew, MFT

Ink Pads: Altenew, Memento

Stamps: Altenew

My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #06

Here is My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #6, below is the challenged sketch:

And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I used MFT's Evolving Friends stamp set to stamp the cute Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander on white cardstock and colored them with alcohol markers. I fussy cut them out. I also stamped three Poke Balls, colored with alcohol markers and cut them out. I die cut an orange rectangle and a blue circle with MFT's stitched dies. I also stamped MFT's Number Jumble background stamp on the orange stitched rectangle and clear embossed it. I stamped the greeting on a stripe of orange cardstock. For the three Poke Balls, I put Nuvo Crystal Glare on them to make them dimensional. I assembled all elements on a light blue card base. Finish the card by stamping "Happy Birthday" (from MFT's Mini Messages & More stamp set) on the top left of the card. Below is another look of the card:

And here is the card I created to attend the above two challenges:

I die cut Alex Syberia Designs' Postage Stamps cover die on a piece of white cardstock. Then I stamped the pigs (from Alex Syberia Designs' Hog Happy Days stamp set) into each postage stamp die. I colored the pigs with alcohol markers. I also used Penny Black's Posted stamp set and Waffle Flower's Postage Collage stamp set to decorate each postage stamp. I used Alex Syberia Designs' matching Postage Stamps stencil on the die and brushed in background colors in each postage stamp. Finish the card by stamping the greeting on a yellow strip of cardstock and attaching it in the middle of the card. Below is another look of the card:
