Fri-yay!! 10/28/22

Card #1 inspired by 2 challenges...

Less Is More // #LIM476 ...A technique challenge!!  Use a stencil!! I love stencils and if there is one things in my stash that I would like more of, it would be stencils!!

Addicted to CAS // #231 ...A code word challenge!!  LAYERS is the code word for this challenge.  I layered up the flowers and still kept my card CAS...clean and simple.  Oh, and my sentiment adds a layer as well!! 

Card #2 inspired by 1 challenge...

The Paper Players // #PP614 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch worked perfectly for this "get well" panel that I had laying in my "parts & pieces" box...one of those "started but never finished" items.

Card #3 inspired by 1 challenge...

CAS Colours & Sketches // #CC&S493 ...A sketch challenge!!  This simple sketch makes for a quick and easy card and is yet very eye catching.  I love sketches like this!!

A Fish & A Wish

 2 cards showcasing Stampin Up's A Fish & A Wish set...

Card #1 inspired by 3 challenges...

Freshly Made Sketches // #FMS557 ...A sketch challenge!!  I used ink only for bringing this sketch to life.  Sometimes it is just fun to go back to the basics...ink, masking, stamping and a little doodling!!

Less Is More // #LIM475 ...An one layer challenge-OLC!!  And they asked us to "draw your own frame".  Just ink on paper and a little doodling...clean and simple!!

Just Us Girls // #JUG654 ...A color challenge!! Light blue, orange, and brown are the colors asked for in this challenge.  I used Stampin Up's Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, and Close to Cocoa (retired-but not dried up :-) !!)

Card #2 inspired by 3 challenges...

Hand Stamped Sentiments // #HSS399 ...A color challenge!! The trio of colors for this challenge: Starry Sky, Pool Party, and Pumpkin Pie.  Seemed like the perfect color combo for a fishy card.

Addicted to CAS // #231 ...A code word challenge!!  LAYERED is the code word for this current challenge.  Of course they want us to keep it clean and simple, so I just layered the body of my fish.

Paper Craft Crew // #PCC488 ...A theme challenge!! #simple stamping!!  Another clean and simple challenge.  Both of the cards I made for today fit this challenge.

4 Challenges

4 challenges inspired today's card...

Less Is More // #LIM471 ...A one layer challenge!!  A single layer card that includes your favorite flowers!!  With Christmas time quickly approaching I just had to pick poinsettias as my flower...especially since I had this new stamp set waiting to get inked up!!  (Stampin Up's Ringed With Nature)  Now...this card was truly more CAS until I dropped my sentiment stamp and left a smudge on it and added the black flowers in the corners!!  I saved the card but it stole a lot of my white space.

Cupcake Inspirtions // #550 ...A color challenge inspired by a cupcake photo.  The color combo for this challenge is pink, gray, and white.

INKspirational Challenge // #271 ...A technique challenge!!  The technique being showcased for this challenge...One Layer Stamping!!  Single layer cards are tough for me but I do love how this one turned out.

The Paper Players // #PP604 ...A color challenge!!  Black, White, and a pop of color!!  You get to pick the pop of color...I picked pink.
