4 C Card Challenge

Usually when I have time to do a challenge card, I look at my regular sites (and maybe a few new ones) and then sit down to make the card usually with at least a sketch and a colour challenge and maybe a topping or technique challenge. 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".

CAS(E) this sketch - #157

CAS Colours & Sketches - #158

ColourQ - #326

Crafty Cardmakers - #156 Punches and/or Dies

This card uses the new "Number of Years" stamp set from the Stampin Up 2016 Occasions catalogue and it's matching framelits, as well as the "Hello You" thinlits. This will make a wonderful birthday card for one of the lovely ladies at work.

Thank you to the design teams for their inspiration.

This weekend's challenge cards - Part 2

My second card was inspired by two challenges, Colour Q and CAS(E) this Sketch!.

Colour Q gave the colours Basic Black, Real Red and Newsprint:

CAS(E) this Sketch! gave a lovely simple design to use:

I recently got the new Sheltering Tree stamp set from the 2015 Stampin Up Occasions Catalogue which seemed perfect for this pair of challenges:

I always feel inspired by the samples from both of these design teams.
