We're back again with an Anything Goes challenge over at
Scrapy Land! Anything goes this week but just be sure you use one of the brands of dies that are sold in the Scrapy Land store. Check out all the rules of the challenge and enter for your chance to win! Be sure and see all the inspiration from the DT also.
I really wasn't happy with this card at all but it does look better in real life. I used a stencil and distress paint and then sprayed it all with some gold metallic shimmer stuff. This was mounted on a piece of burlap and the "hello" die from My Favorite Things added.
Here's a link to the die in the Scrapy Land store. I added a snip of some lace and then the dew drops.
Now, moving right along.................
This one is so much more my style!!!! Clean and simple and yes, a "git 'er done" type card. I used the same die on this one (notice I cut the tail off the "h" in "hello" in that first card - I keep seeing "chello" instead of "hello"! LOL!) I also used some die cut leaves from Impression Obsession (that can also be found in the store), smashing some distress inks over them, and then adding the piece of twine. The banners were done with some scraps I had left over from another card.
That's it for today.........and thanks for stopping by.............

I think both are fabulous! I kept seeing more and more things I missed on the first one every time i looked at it. Love the background and the burlap. Love the bright patterned papers on the second one (and I agree with you about the tail at the beginning on the word).
Lynn ~ I love both of your cards! The background on the first one is stunning, and I love the CAS look of the second one with those pretty leaves!!
I think your first card is gorgeous. I love the colors you went with here and it looks so nice on top of the burlap. Your second card is equally as nice and I know you are must more comfortable with this style. I have to say you have two total winners. Have a fun day.
On the first card, I love the Dew Drops in fall colors. The second card is really striking, Lynn.
They're both great cards, and the first is definitely out-of-the-box for your style, but it looks gorgeous! The 2nd is more "you" with it's clean CAS style, and I see "cello" too! LOL NJ on both!
Beautiful cards I love the sentiment and gorgeous colors :)
These are both beautiful! I really like the background on the first card- the burlap is a wonderful accent. I do love the clean and fresh look on your second card, as well. Nice work!
I am loving this first card Lynn because you used a stencil! All the colors are so pretty and fallish and I love that Hello. The burlap-well who doesn't love burlap?! I also love the white lace against all that color. Now the second card is very much you!! lol I love it too because I am really getting into the clean and simple cards, Love the papers you used for your banners and I love, love those leaves. I didn't notice the "chello" until you said something. lol And now I see it. But it is a pretty "hello" die and I am loving how you used it on both cards. Hugs, brenda
Chello? Ha You're too funny. But, I do see what you mean. I love your stencil card and the lace with the burlap looks so good.
You made the leaves on the second card look as if you got them outside...so pretty. Two great cards, Lynn.
Well I love them both, Lynn! I am quite taken by your stencilled background in the top card - this is something I have been wanting to try! Gorgeous fall colors too! The second card is amazing too - love your CAS design! The leaves look so pretty!
Both of your cards are gorgeous!! I love the design of the first one!! There is such dimension in the colors...it looks amazing!! And the second one is so beautiful!! Fabulous job on both of them!! Have a great day :)

Two lovely cards. I am off to check out that leaf die...It looks as if it might be the right size for ATC making...Canadian maple leaf style!
Wow- loving both of your cards- and LOVE the stenciled one so much- love the burlap and the gems....and your CAS design is fab too! I love seeing your fun ideas- and hehehe Chello : )
Two fabulous cards Lynn - lkove the contrast of the textures (the burlap and lace) on the first one, and the brisk, clean look of the second one.
Blessings

These are both incredible! The first one is so touchable with the burlap & dew drops, and the second? You all over!!
Morning Lynn, hope you are ok.
I love both these cards...the first one is actually my favourite ! X
I think BOTH of these creations are gorgeous!! I especially love the colors and design in the background! The burlap and lace go so nicely together as well! :) The second card with the strips of papers and leaf accents looks fabulous too!! Stunning job my friend! HUGS
That first card must be *really* stunning IRL because I have to tell you it looks pretty darn fabulous on my computer screen! I love the rich colours and the texture from the burlap and lace - gorgeous!
Now, not to overlook the second card I can see this is more 'you' and the CAS design is fab, plus I always love a good fishtail... or 3 :-)
Big hugs, Kat x
I think your card came out beautifully! Love the warm rich fall colors
I love them both, Lynn! Great job misting on the first one and I love the contrast of the lace against the burlap. I admit the second one is so much more your style and I really love how you did the leaves!
too funny, Lynn! You did not care for the first card and I absolutely LOVE it! The colors and stains look beautiful. It actually looks very magical to me with the burlap background and black panel contrast in black! Your second card is lovely, too! I want to learn to make cards like yours, so please know that both are wonderful! hugs, de
Both are fabulous Lynn, the stencil background with the fun burlap add a nice touch. The patterned banners and leaves are very fun.
Hugs Diane
OH Lynn, both of these are stunning! Love the colors and shading on that first one and love the crisp clean design of the second. Those leaves are beautiful.
Wow these look amazing :) the BG on ur first and the leaves on ur second card are so beautiful !
LOL, I hadn't noticed that that little curly cue looked like a "c" until you mentioned it! Love the beautiful leaves! The stenciled card is so pretty! Can't imagine it looks better IRL!
I LOVE #1, but I hear you that #2 is more 'your style'. You've rocked it with the stenciling I think, it's very beautiful, and I love the way you added the Hello. Great texture with the burlap background, the lace with the rough burlap, and the pretty dewdrops to sparkle. Really very pretty, so not sure why you didn't like it. That said, #2 is just as pretty in a different way. Love the orange leaves with the blue check banners. Both cards are just great!! TFS & Hugs
I love both of these Hello cards. The banner one with the leaves is my favorite. Wonderful job on the cards. Hugs, joann
Both hello cards are fabulous! Love the background in the first!
These are super fun cards Lynn. Love the stenciling! Awesome work. Hugz
OH WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love BOTH of these, but yes, i did a double take to see if the first one was an inspiration piece, lol. just goes to show how amazingly FLEXIBLE and talented you are as a designer, you can literally do ANYTHING! (& omg, YES, i totally see "chello" on the un-trimmed die!) :) :) :)
brilliant card just right for Autumn best wishes Lesley x
