There were several challenges I wanted to play in before they expired.
My first card is inspired by two challenges - CAS Colours & Sketches (colors)and Freshly Made Sketches (Sketch) .
I stamped out three Altenew Basic Blooms in several shades of purple, die cut them, then mounted them on paper strips already adhered to a card base. I added a few sequins and a sentiment strip to finish it off the card.
My second card took its form from two other challenges - Inspired By Challenge (colors and the anchors) and Cas(e) this Sketch (Sketch).
I die cut a border and a couple of anchors for this card from some blue and yellow cardstock. I added a bit of gray for contrast and added big dots to the card base with an SU embossing folder. A larger sentiment was added to the gray strip to finish the card.

Wonderful cards! Love the embossing on the second one. Thanks for playing at Inspired By.
Those purple blooms are just so pretty against the bright panels, Cat ... and how cool is that nautical card! Love the colour combo ... and the texture is delicious! Hugs, Anita :)
Both cards are very cute. I do like the little scallop border detail on the nautical card. So cute!
I love the way you snuck in those big dots in the photo... sneaky, and very cute... now why don't I think to combine my Thursday sketches?
