Framed Beachy Thank You

 3 challenges inspired today's card...

Festive Friday // #FF0156 ...An "inspo list" challenge!!  From the inspo list honoring Earth Day chose three of the elements to use on your card.  Today I included: frame, twine, and woodgrain.

Color Throwdown Challenge // #ctd787 ...A color challenge!!  Aqua, Olive, and Teal are the colors called for in this current challenge.  I framed out the left behind stitches from yesterday's stitched die cut outs.  So...of course I got to play along again with this color combo.

Paper Craft Crew Challenges // #PCC564 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was the base for this card but since I used the leftover frames from yesterday it is not as obvious.  Frames instead of solid pieces really change the look.

Color Throwdown Challenge // #ctd787 ...A color challenge!!  The color combo for this current challenge is aqua, olive green and teal.  This trio of colors created the perfect back drop for my wildflower silhouette.

Addicted to Stamps and More // #ATSM465 ...A technique challenge!!  Die Cuts and/or stencils are the techniques called for in this current challenge.  I used dies for each of my rectangles and my wildflower silhouette.

He Is Risen, Indeed

 4 challenges inspired today's card...

Just Us Girls // #JUG720 ...An "anything goes" stencil challenge!!  I used a stencil to create a boarder for my CAS card.  Normally, I think of stencils as backdrops.  But...today,  I worked outside the box a bit and created a stenciled boarder.

TicTacToe Challenges // #tttc244 ...A game board challenge!!  My winning three in a row on this tic-tac-toe game board: chick, stencil, and die cut sentiment.

Inspired By Challenges // #IB282 ...An inspiration challenge with an optional sketch.  My inspiration from the photo was the chicks and the yellow & white color combo.  For today's card I decided to use both the photo and the sketch.

Papercraft Challenges // #PC104 ...A theme challenge!!  EASTER is the theme for this challenge.  I thought the chick, and the bright yellow made for a great Easter themed card...so I added a die cut banner "Happy Easter" sentiment.
