Winky Bumblebee

 

4 challenges inspired today's card...

Freshly Made Sketches // #FMS737 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch worked perfectly for combining these 4 challenges.  It was also very close to the optional sketch that came with the Inspire By challenge...like one sketch inside of the other.

Inspired By // #IB389 ...A "visual prompt" challenge!!  A photo that visually gives you a theme, color combo and an optional sketch.  Inspired by...Bumblebee!!

Just Add Ink // #JAI786 ...A "just add" challenge!!  For this current challenge we are "just adding" polkadots!!  I used some retired polkadot designer papers from Stampin Up.

Allsorts Challenge // #AC850 ...An "anything goes" challenge!!  Their current challenge is very open ended and anything goes.  So I am linking up this winky bumble card that uses all Stampin Up products.

Tis the Season...Well Not Quite Yet!!

 4 challenges inspired today's card...

Jingle Belles // #JB2509 ...A year round Christmas challenge with a theme!!  The theme for this current challenge is COLORS of CHRISTMAS!!  We have been given a fun color palette to use. 

INKspirational Challenges // #IC340 ...A "seasonal" challenge!!  Pick a season and then create a card that depicts that season!!  I picked winter and created a Christmas card.

ABC Christmas Challenge // 09APR25 ...An ABC challenge with a Christmas theme year round!!  I is for ICE!!  Do you see my "ice" crystals hanging on those tree branches??

Allsorts Challenge // #AC822 ...An "anything goes" challenge with an optional theme!!  "Inspired By A Song" is the theme for this current challenge.  I can think for several carols that inspired this card!!  I used a Stampin Up Christmas tree stamp from the retired Winter Woods stamp set to make my "branches".  My sentiment is from that set as well.  The star die that I used is from Colorado Craft Company.
