Less Is More // #LIM494 ...A "one layer" card challenge with a HELLO SUNSHINE theme. I struggle with single layer cards but I love the sunshine theme, so I made it work. Not once but twice, this is my second card for this challenge. Stenciling is a great technique for single layer cards.
Color Hues Challenge // #TCH74 ...A color challenge!! Yellow & Kraft are the colors called for in this challenge. Sounds like sunshine and sand to me...right?!? For my color duo, I used Stampin Up inks...More Mustard & Soft Suede.
Update: This card was chosen as a "top three" by the Less Is More design team. A big thank you to them for the shout out on my card.
Caffeinated Christmas Challenges // #CCC22 ...A year round Christmas challenge that is all about coffee!! This challenge has a gnome theme. I was so excited when I won this gnome dies set from Nancy over at the Just Us Girls challenge blog...knew right away that I wanted to use them for this challenge!! So...I made this great coffee and gnome card for this challenge but forgot it was a Christmas challenge. I just had the coffee & gnome theme in my head...oh well that just meant I had to made another gnome and coffee card with a Christmas theme and not a pumpkin latte fall theme. No worries...more play time with my new dies!!
CAS Colours & Sketch // #523 ...A sketch challenge!! A slimline sketch chalenge!! My "white space" on this CAS card is actually green this time. I had to hold my card to get the lighting right for my sentiment to show up...photographing metallic items is NOT my strong suit!!
Never Before Used Schtuff // #NBUS55 ...A "never been used" challenge!! Use brand new items that haven't been used yet or those stashed away items that have been forgotten...this challenge wants to see them. Today, it is a new item that I recently won. I know I already used parts of this new die set in a fall themed gnome card but today I used several of the dies that didn't get used on that fall card...the pompom on the hat & the snowflakes. Those 2 dies did not get used on that card so they are my "never been used" items on this card.
