I seem to be producing the same types of cards - I need and want to step out of my comfort zone.
I have tried to do this tonight and I have produced these 2 cards. Both use backing papers in a bolder or different way to which I generally do.
I love this Penny Black stamp - Uplifting Occasion. That pussy cat is soooo cheeky. I have done the bras in loads of different colours.
However in honour of the "lovely" little pussy cat that chooses to use my prize flower bed as her toilet (!) I have used a black and red scheme for the bra. I have coloured the cat as close as to my furry "friend" as possible.
I have matted the image onto red and black card stock and used papers from Papermania's black tones to finish. The ribbons are Anitas sticky's.
I love this Tilda stamp - I have watercoloured her and matted her onto three layers of Papermania's Retro Floral papers. I have used Papermanaia metallic brads in the corners.
As a different aproach to the backing papers I have used Papermanias Retro Floral papers to create a large stripe effect.
I am tempted to add a thin strip of brown ribbon to the bottom - not sure yet.
What do you think??

I'd so no to adding the ribbon...usually if I am undecided there is a reason. I understand your comment about needing inspiration. Its why I have been doing the challenges because I think I have become a bit predictable. Keep up the challenges is best I think and take your time with colour selection...amazing what a difference colour can make...love your Tilda...they are cute - not for me but cute. K
I agree with Kylie too thats why I do the challenges it keeps the mojo moving. Great cards I love them.
Hi Cathy, your cards are love. I too agree with Kylie and Alsion, just keep on doing the challenges and maybe try a few sketch sites to help with the inspiration - we all lose it at some point, I know I do and when I do I try to keep it as simple as possible and maybe only use one or two colours.
Have a great week :-)x
no to the ribbon
