You're All Kinds of Awesome!

 

4 challenges inspired today's card...

TGIF Challenges // #tgifc416 ...A sketch challenge!!  I love the rainbow of colors in these strips, and the sentiment overlay is brilliant.  Great inspiration, thanks to the design team!!

Colorful Options // #CO4.2023 ...A color challenge!!  This month we are asked to use pastels!!  I used a rainbow of pastels...5 to be exact.

Just Us Girls // #JUG675 ...A mood board challenge!!  My inspiration from the mood board...pink!!  Oh and the florals!!

Retro Rubber Challenges // #rrcb204 ...A theme challenge!!  Spring Scenes!!  Nothing says spring like blooming flowers & pastels!!  As part of this challenge we are asked to use stamps that are over a year old.  The type set sentiment on my card is from Stampin Up's Words of Truth set that came out in 2015.  And even though my floral piece is less that a year old the brushstroke behind my florals is from Stampin Up's Work of Art set that came out in 2014.  So I got some very old with a little bit of new.

INKspirational Challenge #222 & CAS(E) this Sketch #391

 Two challenges in one card...

DAY!! That was the word prompt for the INKspirational Challenge.  I do hope your DAY is fantastic!!

I may have taken some liberties with this week's sketch from CAS(E)this Sketch...I stamped the duo of "rectangles".

I used Stampin Up's Beautiful Autumn bundle...I am loving these little leaves that punch out so easily!!  The duo of brushstrokes were stamped with Stampin Up's retired set, Work of Art. The sentiment and die are from Verve stamps.

 

#bethegift challenge:  Call a person today and let them know exactly why you are thankful for them.

Fab Friday Challenge #194 & TicTacToe Challenge #073

Inspiration for today's card came from the color challenge from Fab Friday and the game board from the TicTacToe team.  I love the bright colors called for from the Fab Friday team...Bermuda Bay,  Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Poppy Parade.   My winning three in a row from the game board ran down the middle...chevron, staple, and free draw.  I created this fun scene using the Whale Done stamp set and the retired Work of Art stamp set from them.

#bethegift challenge:   Drive around with bottles of cold water and hand them out to those working in the heat!

Update:  So excited that this card was chosen as a Team Pick over at the Tic Tac Toe challenge.  What an honor!! Thanks for the shout out!

Addicted to CAS #177 & CASology #361

Happy Valentines Day!!!  A perfect day to make a sweetheart card!!  Since the cue card from CASology is SWEETHEART, it seemed fitting to post a card to their challenge today!  I also used the Addicted to CAS challenge to create a OMBRE card as part of the inspiration for my card.  I used Stampin Up's Stitched Be Mine die and Work of Art stamp set.  

#bethegift challenge:  Give chocolates to someone who feels forgotten.
