Today begins a new challenge at...Shopping Our Stash // #SOS543 ...A "shop your stash" challenge with a theme!! The theme for this current challenge is to "Think Ink"...Use lots of ink, but NO COLORING. Think sponging, stamping, smooshing, stenciling, brayering, splattering, gel printing.
For my take on this challenge I used Stamin Up's Watercolor Shapes and stamped a background and then spritzed with water. My main image is just basic stamping using 4 different ink colors.
Now it is your turn!! What will you find in your stash that will help you bring lots of ink to your creation?!? Hop on over to our blog for all the details on this challenge and to find additional inspiration from the rest of the design team.
4 additional challenges inspired today's card...Stick It Down // MAR2025 ...A monthly FaceBook sketch challenge!! The Stick It Down challenge offers both scrapbook sketches and card sketches. This month's card sketch was perfect for showcasing Stampin Up's Watercolor Blocks. It looks like it was created with those stamps in mind!!
Just Us Girls // #JUG765 ...A birthday & die challenge!! They want to see a birthday card that uses a birthday themed die!! How about a birthday sentiment die?!? Perfect!! I also used additional dies to finish out my card!!
{PIN}spiraitonal Challenges // MAR2025 ...A Pinterest photo inspired challenge!! So many shades of green in the photo...so I used multiple shades of green on my card!! Oh, and a fews flowers too!!
CAS Colours & Sketch // #555 ...A color challenge!! Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, and Berry Burst are the colors called for in this current challenge. My main image ended up being larger than I thought it would be...covering up more of my white space than intended. I will try to be back with these colors in another card that is more CAS than this one.
Card #2 was inspired by 3 challenges... TGIF Challenges // #tgif515 ...A color challenge!! Fresh Freesia, Summer Splash, and Granny Apple Green are the colors called for in this current challenge!! A fun springy color combination!!
As You See It Challenge // #AYSI343 ...A "speed" challenge that has us using punches!! I used a retired butterfly punch from Stampin Up. This card took me only 6 minutes to finish. A clean and simple card that is fun, fast, and easy to put together!!
Allsorts Challenge // #AC818 ...An "anything goes" challenge with an optional theme!! CLEAN & SIMPLE is the optional theme for thus current challenge. I used all Stampin Up production on today's card.

ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at Allsorts!
I think that embossing folder was made just for this card...it's so effective! Those colours are perfect for your butterfly trio, and this design is perfect for a speed challenge. Thanks for braving our speed challenge at As You See It!
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly punch is really pretty. The Dotty embossing folder makes a playful background for them. Thanks for sharing with us at As You See It.
