CAS Colours & Sketches #479 // Paper Craft Crew Challenge #479

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

CAS Colours & Sketches // #479 ...A color challenge!!  The trio of colors called for this week is So Saffron, Blushing Bride, and Soft Sea Foam.  This color combo had me thinking about florals and since I had Stampin Up's Timless Tropical bundle out because of yesterday's card...that pineapple top got made into a bush of flowers.

Paper Craft Crew Challenge // #PCC479 ...A sketch challenge!!  I will often combine a sketch challenge and a color challenge but I can't remember them ever having the same number!?!  I guess that means I have never put these two challenges together.

Welcome, Malachi Latimer!!

Our grandson was born yesterday!!  He made a speedy entrance into this world, arriving 15 minutes after my daughter and her husband arrived at the hospital!!  Crazy!!  Both mom and baby are doing great!!  Welcome, Malachi Latimer!!

Card #1 in his honor...

Try Stampin On Tuesday // #TSOT564 ...A sketch challenge!!  With a "shine" theme!! I had to make a baby card in honor of Latimer's arrival.  And thanks to the designer papers I have been hoarding I was able to include the "shine" element!!

Card #2 inspired by 2 challenges...

Global Design Project // #GDP352 ...A CASE challenge!!  This week we are CASEing a card by Susan Wong.  My CASE... (Copy And Selectively Edit)....the linear layout with highlighted octagon shapes.

Color Throwdown Challenge // #ctd702 ...A color challenge!!  The color combo for this week...yellow, aqua, green, and kraft.  My take on this week's color combo has a little Hawaiian flare using Stampin Up's Mossy Meadow, So Saffron, Bermuda Bay and Kraft.

New Challenge @ Shopping Our Stash

 Today begins a new challenge...

Shopping Our Stash // #SOS475 ...WTHeck Embellishments!!  That is the theme for our new challenge that begins today.  So...what do you have in your stash that you look at and shake your head and think...

What in the heck??  

Why did I buy these?? 

Why do I have so many of them??  

How can I use them??

  

For me...wood burnt flowers!!  I have a ton of them!!  I do remember thinking when I saw them and bought them that they would look cute on cards.  

Here I am almost 8 years later with a container full of them...well...three less after today's card.  I can't wait to see what items you have tucked away that makes you shake your head and wonder "what was I thinking?"  For additional inspiration from the SOS design team hop over to our blog...they have also uncovered some interesting treasures.

My card was also inspired by a 2nd challenge...

Cupcake Inspirations // #CI548 ...A cupcake inspired challenge!!  Let the cupcakes in the photograph inspire you...the colors...poppy, rose, and olive.  I used Stampin Up's Poppy Parade, Old Olive, and Flirty Flamingo.

Card #2 inspired by two challenges...

Just Add Ink // #JAI612 ...A "choose two" challenge!!  Of the three items given...choose two!!  The three items are fur, clouds, or stitching.  I picked clouds (dies and designer paper) and stitching (black stitched diagonal line).

Make the Cards // #59 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was perfect for pairing up with my clouds and stitching from Just Add Ink's challenge.

2 Cards // 3 Challenges

 

Card #1...

Freshly Made Sketches // #FMS544 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was perfect for layering up some designer papers that I have been hoarding.  I love the combination of colors and the vintage feel that it has.

Card #2...

Color Throwdown Challenge // #ctd701 ...A color challenge!!  I love the sunset feel this color combo gives off!!  When I saw it I was reminded again how badly I wanted the Waves of Inspiration bundle from Stampin Up...so...I finally ordered it!!  But for today...no waves just palm trees!!

Global Design Project // #GDP351 ...A theme challenge!!  The theme for this challenge is SHAPES!!  Both of today's cards fit this challenge card #1 with rectangles and card #2 with circles.
