3 challenges inspired today's card...

CAS Colours & Sketches // #518 ...A sketch challenge!!  All images and a long sentiment must be contained inside this rectangle!!  I love it!!  Right away I thought of this long sentiment stamp from VERVE Stamps (no longer in business),  it is perfect for running down the side of a card.

Retro Rubber Challenges // #rrcb263 ...A rainbow challenge using stamps that are over a year old!!  Retro indeed...this sentiment is from VERVE Stamps that closed up shop 5 years ago.  My rainbow was stamped with the watercolor strip from Stampin Up's Over the Rainbow set that is even older...8 years!!

Time Out Challenges // #TOC245 ...A "colorful" challenge!!  Nothing says colorful like a rainbow!!  Even though these colors are faint they do make the card colorful!!

New Challenge @ Shopping Our Stash

 

Today begins a new challenge at...

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" #SOS492

Shopping Our Stash // #SOS492 ...A theme challenge!!  "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"...that is our theme for this new challenge!!  Oh and don't forget, we want you to shop your stash!!  Dig deep and find those stamps or embellishments that have gotten covered up and forgotten.  For my card, I pulled out Stampin Up's Over the Rainbow stamp set from 2015.  I also dug around for some cloud dies...these are from a newer set...Stampin Up's Wavers of Inspiration bundle that came out last year.  

Now it is your turn...shop your stash and find those items that will help you create a rainbow card.  We can't wait to see your take on our new challenge.  If you need additional inspiration, hop on over to our blog and check out the awesome cards the rest of the design team have made.

Today's card was also inspired by 2 additional challenges...

Just Us Girls Challenge // #JUG670 ...A word challenge!!  RAINBOW is the word of the week.  Remember that God gives us rainbows as a promise of hope!!

As You See It Challenge // #AYSI294 ...A theme challenge!!  Spring Cleaning is the theme for this challenge.  For this challenge we were asked to do some spring cleaning of our work space...you know, use up some of those scraps!!  I did just that and cut a frame from the hole left behind from cutting out a rectangle.  Since that die leaves behind a stitched rim it makes for a nice looking frame.

Card #2 inspired by 2 challenges...

Inspired By Challenges // #IB228 ...An inspiration challenge with an optional sketch!!  I used both the photo and the sketch as my inspiration for this card.  I decide to leave it blank, without a sentiment.  I'll add a sentiment later once I know who I will be using this card.  

Retro Rubber Challenges // #rrcb202 ...A retro challenge!!  Use stamps that are over a year old.  No stamps here but I did use a Stamp & Scrap set from Stampin Up that is over 10 years old. And since it is an "anything goes" challenge I figured this set would be fine!!  As I type this out I am wondering how bad my hoarding is...over 10 years...yikes!!  I am also amazed that these stickers are still working!!  Amazing!!

TGIF Challenges #365 // Just Us Girls #629

 2 cards each inspired by 1 challenge...

Card #1...

TGIF Challenges // #tgifc365 ...An inspiration challenge!!  Their "make a wish" inspirational piece had me reaching for a retired set from Stamping Up called Over the Rainbow.  My wish is that this "keep looking up" card will brighten my friends day!!

Card #2...

Just Us Girls // #JUG629 ...A  photo challenge!!  I love the bright colors of these rocks, and rounded edges.  This "dream big" charm that I found in my stash is a perfect sentiment to paint on a rock.
