Sunny Days of Summer

Over at Bitten by the Bug 2, the challenge is:  Celebrate with Flourish, Sunny Days.
At  The Kraft Journal, their  challenge is:  Welcome Summer.  The Celebrate the Occasion challenge is: Celebrating Summer.  So I made this simple little card using  Doodlecharms and Create a Critter for these challenges.I'm so sorry the color doesn't show up in the picture. I need lessons in how to take a picture!!

I tried a new paper technique (for me) with this card. I cut several 2" strips of paper, cut them diagonally to make triangles and glued them at a angle on cardstock 3 3/4"x 5", then trimmed around  it, to look like a sunburst. Wrapped some green twine and knotted.  Then glued it on top of the white layer. It was really easy, and I used a lot of scraps, but very time consuming. I used the Cuttlebug on the green square under the phrase. Learning new things is fun, but this is not something I will do a lot.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day week-end.

Father's Day Card #2

This is another card I made for the Grand kids to give to their Poppy. It's a Z fold, and I added spots because we have a Dalmatian puppy dog named Dallas. The inside says Happy Father's Day Poppy. Simple card. I put this in the Paper Playtime Challenge. The challenge is for Z fold cards, any theme or colors.
