Do Justly...

 

3 challenges inspired today's card...

CAS Colours & Sketches // #518 ...A sketch challenge!!  All images and a long sentiment must be contained inside this rectangle!!  I love it!!  Right away I thought of this long sentiment stamp from VERVE Stamps (no longer in business),  it is perfect for running down the side of a card.

Retro Rubber Challenges // #rrcb263 ...A rainbow challenge using stamps that are over a year old!!  Retro indeed...this sentiment is from VERVE Stamps that closed up shop 5 years ago.  My rainbow was stamped with the watercolor strip from Stampin Up's Over the Rainbow set that is even older...8 years!!

Time Out Challenges // #TOC245 ...A "colorful" challenge!!  Nothing says colorful like a rainbow!!  Even though these colors are faint they do make the card colorful!!

New Challenge @ Sunday Stamps #SSC316

 

Today begins a new challenge at...

Sunday Stamps // #SSC316 ...A sketch challenge!!  Our "In the Corner" sketch challenge begins today!!  This sketch has a rectangle nestled in the corner of the card and is perfect for creating a small scene.  So many possibilities with this one.  For me, this sketch was perfect for showcasing another image from my new stamp set I just got from Colorado Craft Company.  These little mice are so cute and their love of coffee mirrors mine.  

Now it is your turn...what will you nestle in the corner of this sketch??  Hop on over to our blog for additional inspiration from the rest of the design team and play along with us!!

3 additional challenges inspired today's card...

Color Hues // #TCH70 ...A color challenge!!  The duo of colors for this challenge...RED & YELLOW!!  I used Crushed Curry and Poppy Parade from Stampin Up as my color combo.  Don't you think that yellow designer paper looks like it could be kitchen wall paper?!!?

TicTacToe Challenges // #tttc222 ...A game board challenge!!  My winning 3 in a row on this tic-tac-toe game board: red, patterned paper, die cuts!!

Never Before Used Schtuff // #NBUS53 ...A "never been used" challenge!!  This stamp and matching die is part of a new set that I recently ordered.  Today this stamp is getting inked and this die is getting smashed for the very first time!!

The Color Throwdown Challenge // #ctd756 ...A color challenge!!  Green, Orange, and Brown are the colors called for in this current color challenge.  The photo for this color combo also inspired me!!  In real life I don't have a green thumb but when it come to cards I love playing with them.

Make My Monday // #mmm207 ...A theme challenge!!  3 of anything!!  How about 3 felt embellishment flowers?!!?  I love these stitched felt flowers that were a part of the Flowering Cactus Product Medley from Stampin Up.  They add the perfect finishing touch and for this challenge I used 3 of them.
