Cards That I Made

Hello! Hope everyone is healthy and coping with all that is going on in this troubled world.  I have been spending a lot of time in the studio but not posting much.  I have several cards to share.  I will begin with a card that was inspired by St. Patrick's Day, a truck die, and shamrocks.  It began with a leftover from making a background with acrylic paints that reminded me of a sunny day.  I die cut the truck with Cheapo Dies in green and silver card stocks and filled the bed with shamrocks cut with the cameo and from an assortment of metallic confetti. I assembled that on the background. I added the word Lucky cut with Cameo(Left from another project). I stamped the sentiment from Repeat Impressions with black ink.  I tore the edges of the image and attached to a green card base.
Challenges:
Cute Card Thursday: Challenge # 626 Just for Fun.  Made this card just for fun.
Die Cut Divas: Challenge is anything goes with a die cut.

Another card that I made but not posted is shown above.  I used this month's free digital image from Beccy's Place to create the design with a digital check paper. I printed the color image of the pie but changed colors a bit before printing.  I stamped the sentiment from stash in black on white cs and matted it on black cs. Used a white layer and red card base to finish.
Challenges:
Artsystamper Digitals Challenge: #12  Lots of layers.
Beccy's Place: March Challenge Create a card using a Beccy's Place stamp. The optional element is food.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Playing With Acrylic Paints

 Hello! Hope your Monday is off to a good start.  Mine started with computer problems but I finally got Windows 10 to open.  I was playing with acrylic paints this week - the challenge at CAS Mix Up Card Challenge is to use Acrylic Paints.  I bought some acrylic paints years ago really cheap but never used them.  So I pulled them out after watching the video tutorials links on the challenge blog.
I made a background using white cardstock and 3 colors-green umber, orange, and marigold.  I die cut a circle with Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle die and heat embossed a sentiment stamp on the circle with Versamark ink and Wow Chestnut EP. I attached this to a dark brown card base embossed with Spellbinders EF.  I thought the background looked like an artsy looking sunrise.
Challenges:

Love to Craft Challenge Blog: LICCB #44 March Anything Goes
CAS Mix Up Card Challenge: March Acrylic Paints + Stamping + Your Choice. I used die cutting, heat embossing, and dry embossing. Happy 4th Birthday to the team at CAS Mix Up Card Challenge!

For my second attempt at creating a background with acrylic paints, I used blue midnight, marigold and orange.  My results looked like a scene on the Serengeti so I heat embossed some Gina K Design stamps from Wild About You set to create a birthday card.  I tore the edges of the image and distressed the edges with a distress tool.  This would not be considered a CAS card but I like how it turned out. 

Challenges:
