Try Stampin on Tuesday Challenge #509

 

#tsot509

Today's card was inspired by a sketch challenge ( #tsot509 ) from the Try Stampin on Tuesday team and a special request from a friend to make a "Superman" Father's Day card. I don't know about you but I don't have any Superman stamps!!  So...I found a black and white image that I copied on red and yellow paper, then I cut and pieced it together to create my focal image!  My friend loved it and I hope the recipient will too!

Verse of the Day:

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

Less Is More // #LIM444 ...A technique challenge!! Use your favorite technique.  One of my favorite techniques is torn paper.  I love the look it gives and every time it looks completely different.  This technique is perfect of beach themed cards, and I make a lot of those!!

Addicted to CAS // #199 ...A code word challenge!! The code word for this current challenge is BEACH.  I love the way my waves turned out with the white ink sponged along my torn paper.

Color Hues // #TCH19 ...A color challenge!! The color duo for this challenge is brown & blue! Right away that made me think of sand and water!!
