3 challenges inspired today's card...

AAA Birthday Challenge // #84 ...A birthday challenge with a theme!! WASHI TAPE...they want us to use washi tape on our birthday card!!  This card doesn't say Happy Birthday on the out side but it was made for one of my besties who has a birthday this month and I am gifting her a book.

TGIF Challenges // #tgifc574 ...An inspiration challenge!!  Shelves of books...I love it!!  In our house we love books and have shelves of them through out the house...so you know I have stamps that fit our love of books.  This washi tape was perfect for this inspiration challenge.

The Paper Players // #PP783 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was perfect for showcasing my washi tape.  The stack of books made the perfect edging, and then I punched out a circle from the washi tape showcasing the cute little mouse.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge // #AHSC679 ...A sketch challenge!!  Instead of a party banner, I die cute some vines and instead of a tab in the bottom left corner, I used flowers.  But the sketch was truly my inspiration and as soon as I saw the sketch I was thinking of vines in a jungle.

Time Out Challenges // #TOC311 ...A word challenge!!  Of the six words given (earth, hope, pastel, rain, tree, and bloom), use at least two on your card.  I used tree and bloom on today's card.

Can You Handle the Pressure // 25APR26 ...An embossing challenge with an optional theme!!  The optional theme for this current challenge is FLOWERS!!  I used Rose Red card stock to die cut my flowers (they have a bit of embossing on them) and my wave embossing folder (from Stampin Up) gave the feel of hanging vines.
