With Sympathy, Floral Style

 


3 challenges inspired today's card...

Color Throwdown // #ctd782 ...A color challenge!!  The trio of colors called for in this challenge: burgundy, rose, and sage.  I had this very old designer paper in my stash and decided it was time to quit hoarding it!! LOL!!  It worked perfectly for showcasing this trio of colors!

Try A Sketch On Tuesday // #TSOT641 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch would have looked even better if I would have used a slim line card base....but I didn't have one.  In hind sight I wish I would have just cut down this base...oh well!!

Retro Rubber Challenges // #rrcb225 ...A "retro" challenge with a tic-tac-toe game board.  By retro they mean to use a stamp that is over a year old.  My winning three in a row on the game board: gems, butterfly, and floral.  My retro stamp...Stampin Up's butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri from 2015.  And my designer paper is very retro in deed!!







Card #2 inspired by 3 challenges...

Global Design Project // #GDP434 ...A sketch challenge!!  Every card needs a starting point and this sketch was the starting point for today's second card.

Just Us Girls // #JUG716 ...A CASE challenge!!  For this current challenge we are CASEing a card made by Carol Mc.  My inspiration from her card was the color combo, and the stitched dies...although I used the square dies instead of the circle dies.
FarmQuest Challenge // #FQCB47 ...A country theme challenge!!  "Things found in a country field" is the theme for this current challenge.  WATERMELON...especially a field here in Florida.
