Fall Campout

 

3 challenges inspired today's card...

Freshly Made Sketches // #FMS604 ...A sketch challenge!!  A fun starting point for today's card.  I love the brushstrokes called for behind the focal point.  Perfect backdrop for my tent.

Time Out Challenge // #TOC247 ...A photo inspiration challenge!!  Fall camping,  gotta love a tent thrown in the woods!!  Love the crisp cool air, the falling leaves, and a warm camp fire.

Retro Rubber Challenge // #rrcb215 ...A theme challenge!!  "It's Fall"!!  A fall camping scene seemed perfect for this challenge.  For this challenge we are also asked to use stamps over a year old...my fall tree is from Stampin Up's Happy Scenes stamp set that came out in 2015.

Twofer One

 Set of cards inspired by several challenges...

TGIF Challenges // #tgifc438 ...A "what would you do" challenge!!  For this WWYD challenge the question is...What would you do with one card, two ways??  I used the same sketch, the same dies but changed the sentiment and made one of them CAS.  Since this die cuts both layers at a time it works get for a "twofer one" challenge.  The color layers are just flipped.

Less Is More // #LIM492 ...An alphabet challenge!!  C is for Celebrate!!  This challenge also wants to see how we can get MORE with LESS.  So I kept the "celebrate" card CAS...Clean And Simple // Less Is More!!

Inspire.Create.Challenge // #ICC151 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch worked perfectly for this "twofer one" challenge from TGIF.  I was able to use the same sketch for both cards and keep on of them clean and simple for the LIM challenge.

Addicted to CAS // #246 ...A code word challenge!!  MUSHROOM!!  That is the code word for their current challenge!!  Since the "celebrate" card was a CAS card and included a mushroom it is perfect for a second entry into this challenge.

Today begins a new challenge at...

Cardz 4 Guyz // #C4G331 ...A masculine challenge using the theme of STARS!!  Stampin Up's To the Moon stamp set has the perfect sentiment for this new challenge.  "Always reach for the Stars."  I knew I wanted this sentiment to be the building block for my card.  I used star dies and clustered up some stars in designer paper and plain card stock, and finished it off with a ribbon banner and some twine.
