Easter Weekend Challenge card No 3

Card number 3 also used 3 challenges:

• Callin All Sistahs - Photo and colour challenge
• Retro Rubber - use a stamp over a year old
• Cards in Envy - No patterned paper

I used the Stampin Up "Pleasant Poppies" stamp, which is from 2012-13. I also used the new "Celebrate You" Thinlits (in Cherry Cobbler, old Olive and Daffodil Delight) and the "you" from "Crazy about You" from 2014.

I coloured the poppies with Stampin Blends in Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. I little bling was added to the tail of the "g" in amazing with a basic jewel.

Challenges for a New Year - Card 1

My New Year's resolution is to participate in more challenges this year and stretch my creativity. This weekend I have 3 cards to share.

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.

I gained inspiration from 3 Challenges:

• Cards in Envy - Tuxedo (Black and White) Challenge 
• Sunday Stamps Sketch - SSC170 
• Watercooler Wednesday Challenge - 153 Gail's Masculine 'Anything Goes' challenge

  

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.

Thank you to the designers from each challenge site for the inspiration. They always have such great ideas to get the creativity flowing again.

More Challenges

Today I have combined two challenges together for this card: Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and Cards In Envy.

• For the Cards In Envy Challenge  the theme was Going GRAY. 
• The Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 92 provided this sketch for us to follow:

This card used the "Boys Will Be Boys" stamp set from the 2014-15 Annual Stampin' Up catalogue, "Moonlight" Designer Series Paper Stack and Basic Grey Card. The greeting is from the "Crazy about You" stamp set available in the 2015 Occasions Catalogue.

Check out both the challenge pages, the designers have some wonderful cards to help inspire you with these themes.
