New Challenge @ Cardz 4 Guyz // #C4G332

 


Today begins a new challenge at...

Cardz 4 Guyz // #C4G332 ...A masculine challenge using "Shades of Brown"!!  Fall is in the air and deer season has begun...so...out came my deer die!!  It is perfect for this shades of brown challenge.  How will our new challenge inspire you??  We can't wait to see your "Shades of Brown" creations.  Hop on over to our blog for additional inspiration from the rest of the design team and then join the fun and play along with us.

Shades of Brown // #C4G332

This card was also inspired by...

Retro Rubber Challenges // #rrcb216 ...A tic-tac-toe challenge!!  My winning three in a row on this game board: masculine, leaves, and die.  For this challenge we are to use stamps that are over a year old...my sentiment is from Stampin Up's A Big Thank You set that came out in 2020.  All the elements from this card are a bit retro...the die is over a year old, those wooden leaves are over 9 years old, and that hemp is from TJMaxx that I picked up after Christmas about 5 years ago!!  That spool of hemp was huge and it seems like it is gonna last for ever!!


Card #2 inspired by 4 challenges...

As You See It // #AYSI308 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch worked perfectly for my night time sky!!  The sentiment that I wanted to use was almost to long but I made it work.

TicTacToe Challenges // #tttc228 ...A game board challenge!!  My winning three in a row on this game board: purple, moon, and free!!

The Paper Players // #PP660 ...A theme challenge!!  LOST IN SPACE is the theme for this current challenge!!  A collection of moon and stars lost in the night time sky...perfect!!

Just Add Ink // #JAI672 ...A sketch challenge!!  It is not very often that a card can use 2 sketch challenges as inspiration but this sketch from JAI paired up perfectly with the sketch challenge from AYSI.

Sea Turtle Magic

 


3 challenges inspired today's card...

Color Throwdown Challenge // #ctd762 ...A color challenge!!  The color combo for this current challenge is mossy green, rust, kraft, and cream.  For my colors I used Stampin Up's Mossy Meadow ink, Cajun Craze ink, and Very Vanilla  & Kraft card stock.

Freshly Made Sketches // #FMS605 ...A sketch challenge!!  When I saw this sketch I right away thought about a run rise coming up over the horizon.  This stencil was perfect for getting that effect.

Addicted to CAS // #247 ...A code word challenge!!  MASK is the code word for this current challenge.  A stencil is the ultimate mask wouldn't you agree?!?
