Yay - Another challenge card

So annoying when life gets in the way and you don't get a chance to play in the studio, but yippee!!! for this weekend.

This first card uses two challenges:
Pals Paper Arts - Sketch challenge 269

 

Colour Me...! - Colour Challenge 90

This weekend I am using the "No Bones About it" stamp set from the Stampin Up 2015-16 Annual Catalogue. This a great set for children and adults who don't want to grow up (sure we all know at least one).

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.

Check out the gorgeous samples made by the design teams on both of these sites, they always inspire me to step outside of my normal rut and try something different.

Friday Mashup Challenge

Only had time for one challenge card this weekend. The Friday Mashup #221 gave me both a theme and a colour combination to use.

The challenge was: 

• Create a project using shades of Dijon, Olive, Razzleberry. 
• Create a project inspired by Summer Flowers. 
• or Mash it Up! and create a "Summer Flowers Project using the colors above.

The "Flower Patch" stamp set from the Stampin Up 2015-16 Annual Catalogue, seemed perfect for the theme of Summer Flowers. I has a matching framelit set to make cutting out the shapes easier.

The new "Brick" embossing folder created the background wall, and was accented with some sponging in Delightful Dijon. 

I found the colours of Delightful Dijon, Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry a bit strong and dark for the flowers, so stamped off first before using to get a muted version of the colours.

The greeting is from the new "Endless Birthday Wishes" set.

I always have fun with the Friday Mashup Challenges, check them out and the great samples the design team create.
