 2 cards // each inspired by 2 challenges...

Card #1...

Color Throwdown // #ctd652 ...A color challenge! Aqua, green, blue, and kraft is the color combo for this challenge.  I used Stampin Up's Night of Navy ink for my palms, sentiment and birds, Pear Pizzazz card stock for my palm trees die, Tempting Turquoise for my aqua back drop, and Soft Sky card stock for my strip of clouds.  It was a rest & relax type of color combo!!

Just Add Ink // #JAI564 ...A choose two challenge! We were given 3 elements and asked to choose two...the elements for this choose two challenge were sky, sea, or trees.  For this card I picked sky and trees.

Card # 2...

Freshly Made Sketches // #FMS495 ...A sketch challenge!  I used on circle but then replaced the other two circles with die cut leaves.  Fall is definitely not in the air yet here in Florida but a girl can dream of cooler evenings, bonfires and need for sweatshirts, right?!?

Paper Craft Crew // #PCC436 ...A tic tac toe challenge!  My winning three in a row run down the center of the board...dies, vellum, and markers.  I used a stitched circle die along with a leave die, a piece of printed vellum, and I colored the back side of the vellum with markers...three elements in a row for a win!
