Two Card Tuesday

 


Card #1 inspired by 4 challenges...

The Paper Players // #PP775 ...A theme challenge!!  The theme for this current challenge...MYSTICAL CREATURES!!  This fairy riding her snail (from Lavinia stamps) seemed like the perfect stamp for this challenge.

Inspire.Create.Challenge // #ICC210 ...A theme challenge!!  The theme for this current challenge...FLORALS!!  How about a bed of flowers!?!

Just Us Girls // #JUG812 ...A technique challenge!!  For this current challenge the JUG team wants to see our stencils!!  I used my Wavy Ferns stencil from Kat Scrappiness for the background.

As You See It Challenges // #AYSI367 ...A speed challenge with a theme!!  Make a card in under 10 min. that showcases the color purple.  I used Stampin Up's Blackberry Bliss & Highland Heather...two purples!!  And...I finished today's card in 6 min and 13 seconds!!  Oh and I even used flowers!!





Card #2 inspired by 2 challenges...

Time Out Challenges // #TOC307 ...A "photo inspired" challenge!!  My inspiration from the photo...the pink & purple colors and the strips and polkadots...I embossed the top half of my card with stripes and the bottom half with polkadots.  I flipped the positioning of the stripes and dots from the photo to my card.

Inspired By Challenges // #IB377 ...An inspiration photo challenge with an optional sketch!!  Inspired by: sweet caterpillar!!  I used both elements on today's card.  I stamped my Unity Stamps donuts, cut them out and layered them up to make a caterpillar on my card...sweet caterpillar!!

A Shelly Thank You

 

3 challenges inspired today's card...

Cut It Up // #350 ...A die cut challenge with a theme!!  BY THE SEA is the theme for this current challenge!!  Three different dies where used to make today's card.  And for that theme...well...I love all things beachy and I am a huge fan of sea-shelling...so...a perfect challenge for me!!

Freshly Made Sketches // FMS725 ...A sketch challenge!!  When I saw this sketch I right away thought of this netting die from Stampin Up for my background.

Make My Monday // #MMM272 ...A theme challenge!!  The theme for this current challenge is...CARD FOR A MALE.  Our pastor keeps a stash of thank you cards that I make for sending out to people and this one was made to add to his stash.
