Just For You

 

4 challenges inspired today's card...

The Paper Players // #PP784 ...A theme challenge!!  FEMININE is the theme for this current challenge!!  The pinks and the florals were my inspiration from the FEMININE mood board.

Freshly Made Sketches // #FMS735 ...A sketch challenge!!  The blocks in this sketch made me think of Stampin Up's Watercolor Shapes stamp set.  The little square from that set was perfect for mapping out this sketch.

Retro Rubber Challenge // #rrcb271 ...A "retro" challenge with a color board!!  The retro stamps that I used were from Stampin Up's Banner Banter (2014), Colorful Seasons (2017) and Watercolor Shapes (2021).  All stamps used were over a year old. And for the color board portion...I used Stampin Up's Highland Heather, Blushing Bride, and Flirty Flamingo.

Double D Challenges // 06MAY26 ...A "watercolor" challenge!!  I hope my "outside of the box" way of using water color counts!!  I used Stampin Up's Watercolor Shapes for my water color elements.  No water, no paintbrushes...not this time...just a watercolor stamp set.
