Caffeinate!!


 3 challenges inspired today's card...

Double Trouble Challenge // #195 ...A Thing 1, Thing 2, and Thing 3 challenge!!  Thing 1 wants us to follow a "Inkie Pinkies" recipe...3 colors (Pacific Point, Pumpkin & Early Espresso), 2 stamped images (Unity stamps chic & Stampin Up splatter), and 1 sentiment (Caffeinate and hope for the best!!)...CHECK!!  Thing 2 wants us to use the sketch from Try A Sketch On Tuesday #674...CHECK!!  Thing 3 wants us to add metallic to our card (gold embossing of sentiment and splatters)...CHECK!!

Try A Sketch On Tuesday // #TSOT674 ...A sketch challenge!!  When I saw all the splatters on this sketch, I knew right away that I wanted to use a coffee theme.

As You See It Challenge // #AYSI352 ...A "fill in the blank" challenge!!  If you could use only one shape on your card, it would be a_____!! CIRCLE is the shape that I would choose!!  I find that I use the circle the most out of my Water Color Shapes stamp set.  That seems to be true of my stitched dies as well...the circles get the most use.



Update:
What an honor!!  This crazy chic card got chosen as a "top pick" over at the As You See It challenge.  Thanks to the design team for the shout out on this card.

  12. I feel this birds vibe every day! How much fun is this card…….Too much fun! Love it and love the smile that image brings : ). Seeing the layout in two different ways shows how you can create a design and see it so many different ways.
