New Challenge @ Shopping Our Stash #SOS494


 Today begins a new challenge at...

Shopping Our Stash // #SOS494 ...A theme challenge!!  April Showers is the theme and we want you to shop your stash for those hidden things that fit our theme.  This cute stamp got tucked away out of sight.  The saying "out of sight, out of mind" is really sure in stamping!!  Also...this ball of black twine is huge and seems never ending.  It has been in my stash forever and still seems as big as when I first got it!!  

#SOS494  April Showers
Now it is your turn...what do you have in your stash that fits our April Showers theme??  Hop on over to our blog for additional inspiration from the rest of the design team!  We hope you will join the fun and play along with us.  

3 other challenges inspired today's card...

Less Is More // #LIM480 ...A color challenge!!  Aquamarine & Black!!  Along with the color challenge (I used Tempting Turquoise & Tuxedo) we are to keep our cards clean and simple...make them CAS!!  Cause sometimes, Less Is More!!


Hand Stamped Sentiments // #HSS411 ...An inspiration challenge.  My take away from the inspiration photos...the umbrellas.  Oh and the blue background...well, aquamarine (Tempting Turquoise)  on my card.


INKspirational Challenges // #287 ...A CAS challenge!! With an optional twist of sunshine and/or rain showers.  Quite fitting challenge since we are in the month of April.


Update:
  This rainy day card was chosen as a "top 3" over at INKspirational Challenges!!  What an honor!!  Thanks to the design team for the shout out on my card!!

  1. Oooooooh! this is so clever and so minimal, I love the way you've inked just around the stamp and added the sentiment directly adjacent... and the twine is super cool!
