Happy birthday roar and a couple challenges

HI everyone! Welcome back!! I am in desperate need of male birthday cards.  Kids, adults, doesn't matter I need them! I started today with this cute dino set that I recently purchased.  I love how quick and easy I was able to get this card done.

I used a couple of challenges to get it done.  I would love your input on stamp sets you use to create male inspired birthday (or anything really) cards.  Leave me a comment below and help a girl out.

Here are the two challenges I used.

 Color Throwdown's colors are amazing this week!!

And I added in a sketch from a new place for me 

Just Add Ink. 

Here is my finished card.  This card came together in less than 10 minutes and that includes the background stamping and twine tying.

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Rawr!
Ink: pomegranate splash, green olive, black licorice
CS: oatmeal cookie, pomegranate splash, tangerine fusion, whip cream
ACCESS: cocoa/white twine

Happy Birthday!

Here is another card I've made using two more awesome challenges.  Freshly Made Sketches, Color Throwdown and Seize the Birthday. I am really enjoying myself today.  In between cleaning and doing laundry I get to get some much needed craft therapy.  I'm loving my new scrap room and find it so much easier to be creative.   

 

 

"Lots of Leaves"

 

 

And here is what I came up with.  This took me a bit.  I really wanted to add in the leaves and birthday wish but was having a really hard time.  Then I remembered I had these great leaf dies! Presto!!

 



Hello ctd413, cts #193

I recently rediscovered the Color Throwdown challenge blog.  I finally got to sit and craft using one of their challenges. I paired it with CASE(E) this Sketch! challenge and got the card below.  I started with one idea for this sketch and it just didn't work (the ice cream cone was WAY to big), then I thought a Halloween card would be fun and I ended up with this cute pumpkin card.  Just goes to show how the creative process works. All in all, not what I was looking for but it works.

 

 

Here's my card!
