So i worked on these last week in small spurts of creative time I found. The one with the succulent is a grey card base, not sure that shows so well. I am not overly thrilled with it, I think I was trying too hard to use those new stamps and they just weren't working well for this challenge. The others are using my new dies from SU.

Those are all really nice! Nothing wrong with the succulent at all.

Very very nice. I like them all. Especially the flowery ones.

I'm a bit blocked on this challenge. Not sure I see how it's very different from the cards we usually make. There are usually layers of stuff, right? So this time, we just add more layers???

Nancy your cards are terrific! I really like the succulent card and the edgy arty look. Your florals are fab and the last one is very cool with the background cover. Nice floral stamps/dies. Thanks for playing.


Jen, my idea for this came about from Pam's wonderful clusters of stickers and dies on her LOs. Taking things that don't necessarily go together but making them work. A collection of fun images clustered together to make an arty focal point. ANY kind of clustered doodads work just fine this month.

great cards ladies

I made two more cards today. First about the background: this is from a large collection of free downloads a friend sent me. I reduced it to card size and used Zig water color markers for the one with the girl and sponged on Distress Inks for the other.

My clusters were both made from items already made in my stash of die cuts and doodads. At some point I may add a vellum sentiment to the first one.

I made some cards yesterday and used a bit of stuff on them. I even cut up a PL card and used both parts on the card. The gold paper that looks brown on the bluish card. It is really bright and shiny in real life.

Marianne these are fabulous! Love the bird card of course. Using felt and other fabric/fiber items is a terrific idea. I needed that reminder. I have a ton of felt that needs to be used. Thanks for your awesome contribution this month.

Farley, if you backed the felt with an iron on stabilizer you could cut it with your KNK or other dies. I'll have to try it myself. I like the texture of felt.

Wow, ladies! I love these cluster cards - they're all fabulous. I think I need to give this challenge a try this weekend.

Can't wait to see what you do, Sue.

Oh please do Sue! I'd love to see your take on this challenge.

I'm hoping to make some more too. There are a few G45 sticker sheets in my arsenal that are barely used.

I made two cards yesterday I don't think the second one really qualifies for this challenge, but I'll post it anyway. Thanks for the challenge, Farley.

wow love those Sue

Sue I say they both qualify and then some! These are fabulous!!! Thanks for joining us.
