After a well needed tidy I found things I had forgotten I had bought and I was ready to get back to just crafting for fun rather than because I need a card.<br />
<br />
So I turned to my usual inspiration, challenges. This card comes from 3 challenges:<br />

I had some fun making the paper for the panels using shaving cream and inks in a couple of different blues. I thinned some gold ink with rubbing alcohol to flick across the card (and my desk, the computer, my water bottle...) using a thin paint brush, then covered in clear embossing powder. The greeting was created in Cricut Design Studio and written in pen, then cut out, with a matching gold frame.</div>

After clicking "surprise me", the combination was Sweet Sugar Plum, Wild Wasabi, Tranquil Tide, Cajun Craze and Crumb Cake.<br />

The Flowers were from Stampin Up's "Reason to Smile", with the greeting from "Bring on the Cake". It was a weekend for bringing out the old stamps. The colours in this card are Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, Early Espresso and Tuxedo Black. The flowers were coloured with Blendabilities (another retired product) Blush, Nude and Calypso Coral. The base card is Thick Whisper White. <br />
<br />
This one was a lot of fun to make.<br />

This card uses Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red and Smoky Slate card and ink. The background has the panda stamped in various directions in Versamark, although it is a little hard to see in the photo. The greeting is from Happy Birthday Gorgeous.<br />

I found my inspiration from four different sites:<br />

The colours in the card and ink are Pacific Point, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Grey, Whisper White, Blushing Bride and Staz On Jet Black. I used the Layering Ovals framelits to cut out the greeting. The dress and background have Wink of Stella across them to give a little sparkle.<br />

I have been wanting this since July and finally bought the bundle with the matching framelits.<br />
<br />
For this card my inspiration came from these 3 challenges:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This card used Cherry Cobbler card for the base and the ink on the orchids and greeting. The background is Rose Red card, which was embossed using the Brick embossing folder, stamped with the small dots from 'Timeless Textures' in Versamark ink and sone versamark smudges. The greeting is both Cherry Cobbler and Rose Red, stamped twice close on each other. The greeting is cut with the Top Note die. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The orchid was stamped both as the full piece and the individual pieces and layered together with a stem of silver ribbon.</div>

The 3 challenges used for this card were:<br />

This card has a Crumb Cake Base and uses Early Espresso behind the book and for the greeting. I have used embossing paste that was coloured with a mix of Crumb cake and Chocolate Chip inks then sponged with the same colours when it had dried. The book was made from 'First Edition' DSP. The edges around the book, both the card and the DSP were distressed to give that well-loved book feel.<br />
<br />
It is not showing well in this photo, however the wizard has a coat of clear Wink of Stella and the stars have clear dazzling details to make the card sparkle. The Gold ribbon behind the greeting matches the gold embossing powder and also shines in the sun.<br />
<br />

This weekend I have 3 cards to share.<br />
<br />
This first card is a nice, simple creation using a new stamp set from Stampin Up that is part of Sale-A -Bration - Epic Celebrations.<br />
<br />
I gained inspiration from 3 Challenges:<br />

This card uses Basic Black and Whisper White card. The DSP in the background is 'Pop of Pink'. The images and greeting are stamped in Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black and the greeting is cut using the smallest of the Stampin Up Deco Labels framelits, cutting the shape twice and trimming off the ends to get the smaller shape.<br />
<br />

It has been a while since I last participated in a challenge, but I made sure I had some time this weekend. My card was inspired by Mojo Monday, Fab Friday and Stampin' Royalty Challenge:<br />

I decided to use Dragonfly Dreams, Timeless Textures and Butterfly Basics stamp sets and Swirly Scribbles and Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits. A Delicate White doily was used in the background. The dragonflies have a coat of clear Wink of Stella.<br />

I used the circle card thinlits and Flower Fair Framelits to cut out the card and around the flowers. I used Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, Crushed Curry and Wisteria Wonder inks. I also used Teeny Tiny Sentiments (one of my favourites) and the banner from Number of Years and matching Framelit. The background was stamped with the Hardwood background stamp, and the finishing touch on the card is a bit of bling with Jewels.<br />

I really enjoyed this colour combination with this stamp set and masking the balloons so they overlapped, it suits the simplicity of the sketch. </div>

This card used 4 challenges and it wasn't until I was ready to blog that I noticed all of the sites for this card started with "C".<br />

<br />
This card used 4 Challenges:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://onelayersimplicitychallenge.blogspot.nl/2016/01/ols23-skys-limit.html" target="_blank">One-Layer Simplicity Challenge 23: </a><br />
This challenge requires that you only use the base card to make your design, no other layers.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogquickquotes.com/2016/01/quick-quotes-challenge-59.html" target="_blank">Quick Quotes Challenge 59:</a><br />
This challenge requires stencil and ink. The stencil in this card is the sponging of the faux ribbon across the bottom of the card<br />
<br />
<a href="http://cardz4galz.blogspot.com.au/2016/01/challenge-13-something-new-and-dt-call.html" target="_blank">Cardz 4 Galz Challenge 13:</a><br />
This challenge was to use something new. This stamp set "Sky is the Limit"is my latest purchase and the first time I used this set.<br />

I was inspired by 2 different challenges:<br />

<a href="http://www.papercraftcrew.com/pcccs-163-tic-tac-toe-challenge/" target="_blank">Paper Craft Crew Challenge 163 - Tic Tac Toe </a>(use three items listed in the table in a row). I selected the top line. The butterfly was already part of Chantel's design above, so I turned the card into purple tones (Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum and Smoky Slate) and a Happy Birthday Greeting.<br />

I always try to challenge myself to use same stamp set for all challenges in a weekend. This weekend I only managed for two out of the three, using "No Bones About It" from the <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">Stampin Up </span><span><a href="http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/catalogs/2015-2016%20Annual/20150601_AnnualCatalog_en-AU.pdf" style="color: #888888; line-height: 18.48px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">2015-16 Annual Catalogue</a><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="line-height: 18.48px;">I used two challenge sites to help with my creativity:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="line-height: 18.48px;"><a href="http://sundaystamps.blogspot.ca/2015/09/ssc110-its-all-about-sketch.html" target="_blank">Sunday Stamps - Sketch challenge 110</a> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"><span style="font-size: small;">This card used the Brick embossing folder on the Tangerine Tango card and the Honeycomb embossing folder on the Crushed Curry (cut into semi-circle shape first). I cut the Whisper White circles using the circle framelits, then stamped the dinosaur heads onto the circles. The greeting was stamped first then cut out using the large oval punch. The leaves were all hand cut.</span></span><br />

This card opens in the front (alongside the Always Artichoke card). The background was made using the three dots stamp in all three colours, stamped off to lighten the colour. The dots were then highlighted with Dazzling Details.The Always Artichoke card down the middle was embossed using the Modern Mosaic embossing folder. The fancy outline butterfly is from the Bold Butterfly framelits set.</div>

<span style="font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">This weekend I am using the "Watercolour Wings" stamp set from the Stampin Up </span><a href="http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/catalogs/2015-2016%20Annual/20150601_AnnualCatalog_en-AU.pdf" style="color: #888888; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">2015-16 Annual Catalogue</a><span style="font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">. This stamp set matches with the Bold Butterfly framelits to make it easier to cut out the big butterfly. The butterfly is stamped in 3 layers: first - Delightful Dijon (stamped off first), second - Delightful Dijon (Full colour), third - Tangelo Twist (Full colour).</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">The smaller butterflies are from "Butterfly Basics" and cut out with the "Bitty Butterfly" punch. The Old Olive card is embossed with the "Elegant Dots" embossing folder. The background uses the 3 dot stamp from "Watercolour Wings", stamped in each colour of the challenge (stamped off first to lighten the colour). The diagonal stripes are from "Butterfly Basics", stamped in Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive, once again stamped off first to lighten the colour.</span></div>
