TGIF Challenges #330 // Time Out #195// Color Hues #24 // Try Stampin on Tuesday #520 // Retro Rubber #165

 2 Cards...

Card #1 was inspired by 2 challenges...

TGIF Challenges // #tgifc330 ...An "inspired by" challenge!! Be in inspired by the new Stampin Up mini catalog or on of the design team members.  This card was inspired by one of the design team members' card...Melissa Stout.  I just loved her card and decided that her card would be my inspiration!!  Thanks Melissa for the inspiration.

Time Out // #195 ...A theme challenge!! The theme for this current challenge...colored base cards.  I rarely do this any more but love the look!!  Thanks for the inspiration...you got me out of a rut!!

Card #2 was inspired by 3 challenges...

Color Hues // #TCH24 ...A color challenge!!  The color duo for this current challenge is Turquoise & Coral.  I used Calypso Coral and Tempting Turquoise (retired) from Stampin Up.

Try Stamping on Tuesday // #TSOT520 ...A sketch challenge!!  We were also challenges to get messy and try out ink splattering.  I got messy (always do when I am stampin) but opted for a splatter stamp!!

Retro Rubber // #rrcb165 ...A "mode of transportation" challenge!! The catch...stamps must be over a year old!!  My splatter stamp is from Stampin Up's Swirly Bird which came out is 2016.  The bicycle stamp (my mode of transportation) is just over a year old...got it in the spring of last year.

VERSE OF THE DAY

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

2 Peter 1:3 (NIV)

Color Throwdown Challenge #623 & Tic Tac Toe Challenge #

This card was created for 2 challenges....

The color challenge from the Color Throwdown team.  #CTD623 Their color combo for the current sketch it Green, Aqua, and Pink.   I also noticed and used the metallic element found of the layers of the trees...thus my little gold stars and the gold mat.  

The second challenge that inspired this card was the Tic Tac Toe challenge.  #TTTC093.  My winning three is a row runs down the right hand side of the game board...Embossing Paste/Spotlight technique/Gold.  I have included a close up picture of my embossing paste stars...you can't really see them in the first picture...and even in this close up the white on white makes it hard to see but it real life it looks good! 

This new bicycle stamp I got with a gift certificate that I won from Rubbernecker Stamps.  My name was drawn in the Twofer Card Challenge give away!!  Lucky me!!  I usually am not a winner in give-aways but I got lucky this time!!
