Card #1 inspired by 4 challenges...
CAS on Friday Challenge // #295 ...A clean and simple challenge with a theme!! The theme for this current challenge is "use the corner of your card". I used corners opposite of each other to give a framed look.
Color Throwdown // #ctd816 ...A color challenge!! The trio of colors for this challenge: orange (I used Calypso Coral from Stampin Up), Cream (I used cream chalk to color in my flowers) and Kraft ( I used Kraft cardstock and heat embossed my images in Early Espresso embossing powder from Stampin Up). This color combo was in honor of Barb, a design team member who lost her battle with cancer!
Just Us Girls // #JUG750 & Just Add Ink // JAI725 ...A technique challenge!! Both of these challenges are highlighting the same technique!! STENCILING is the technique that they are asking for this week. I love this net stencil...it was perfect for adding some color to the opposing corners of my card.
Card #2 inspired by 3 challenges...
Hand Stamped Sentiments // #HSS449 ...A sketch challenge!! I love this sketch...perfect for showcasing my new holiday woodland papers and the stickers that I won.
Addicted to Stamps & More // #ATS&M479 ...An "any occasion" challenge!! I picked Christmas as my occasion. Another card added to my Christmas stash...maybe by December I will have the cards needed for mailing to friends and family.
INKspirational Challenges // #IC327 ...A "seasonal" challenge!! Pick and season and make a card that is apporiate for that season. I picked winter and made a Christmas card!!
