Just Us Girls #664 // Jingle Belles #2303 // CAS Colours & Sketches #503

   1 challenge inspired card #1...

Just Us Girls // #JUG664 ...A CAS challenge with a birthday theme. Birthday cards are fun to make and always needed!!  For today's CAS card I kept lots of white space by limiting my stamping to the bottom corner and no layers except for the sentiment.  I did dress it up just a little with a bit of ultra fine glitter.  I love this technique of sponging around your masked image...great way to add dimension without using layers.  I am not sure what it is called but I have seen it done on several cards out there in blog land and love the look of it.

Card #2 inspired by 2 challenges...

Jingle Belles // #JB2303 ...A Christmas challenge with a twist!!  The twist for this challenge is to use stickers.  I used 10 "Merry Christmas" sentiments for this twist.

#JB2303  Stuck on You!

CAS Colours & Sketches ...A double challenge!!  Since this is a fifth week we have been given both a sketch and a color combo.  The color combo for this challenge are three retired colors from Stampin Up...lucky me, I had all three!!  Rose Red, Barely Banana, and Pretty in Pink.

Global Design Project // #GDP364 ...A CASE challenge!! Copy And Selectively Edit=CASE!! For this challenge we are CASEing a card that was created by one of their design team members from Germany, Madeleine Mrotzek.  My inspiration from her card: the theme, the sketch, and the sparkles.
