Flip Flop

2 challenges inspired today's card...

Try Stampin On Tuesday // #TSOT611 ...A sketch challenge!! TSOS always gives us an optional twist as well...this time the twist is to use a Summer theme. This flip flop die from Spellbinders is perfect for a summer themed card.

TGIF Challenges // #tgifc425 ...A technique challenge!! Make a card that flips...inspired by flip flops!! I doubled up and included both a flipping element and a pair of flip flops. Underneath my "flip" you will find the sentiment "love you to the beach and back" from Stampin Up's Friends Are Like Seashells set.

Update: Donna Sholtz commented on this card and suggested that I also share it over at the Double Trouble challenge blog. So, I went and checked it out...this card does fit Thing 1 (Summer's Day) and Thing 3 (flip-flops) portions of the challenge. Thanks, Donna, for the heads up!!

Update #2: How fun!! This card was chosen as a "top 3" by the TSOT team. Thanks for the shout out on my card for this challenge!!

Card #2 inspired by one challenge...

Less Is More // #LIM485 ...A color challenge!! The color combo for this current challenge is light purple & black. I used Stampin Up's Hightland Heather card stock, ink and Gorgeous Grape designer papers for my purple portion of the color combo. For the black element, I used black rhinestones, card stock, and twine.
