Color Throwdown #732 // The Paper Players #629 // Cupcake Inspirations #563

 

Card #1 inspired by 1 challenge...

Cupcake Inspirations // #CI563 ...A cupcake inspired challenge!!  Yummy!!  Got love that...especially if they taste as good as they look!!  This color combo had me thinking for a winter vibe!!  Maybe because I made this card when the challenge first posted and I also used the Jingle Belle challenge prompt as additional inspiration (Christmas with embossing).  But alas, this card got hidden on my desk and was not posted during the Jingle Belle challenge time (which is now over).  Oh well...I have another Christmas card for my stash and I still got to play along with the cupcake challenge!!  Luckily I found it on my desk before this challenge ended!!

Card #2 inspired by 2 challenges...

Color Throwdown Challenge // #ctd732 ...A color challenge!!  the color combo for this challenge: coral, yellow, navy, and blue!!  An underwater scene is called for this this color combo.  So out came my Seascape bundle from Stampin Up.
