Easter Weekend Challenge Card No 2

The second card for this weekend used 3 Challenge sites:

• The Card Concept - photo inspiration
• Less is More - Technique challenge - Stencils
• AAA Cards - sketch - only use one third

I used the Stampin Up "Happy Patterns" Decorative masks and the "Stylised Birthday" stamp.

I used Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Tempting Turquoise inks all selected from the Card Concept photo.

This weekend's challenge cards - Part 1

This afternoon I took some me time in my craft studio to design using some of the great challenges for this week.

This card used the colour combination from The Card Concept, the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and the technique from The Paper Plunge.

For The Card Concept challenge, I chose the Stampin Up colours of Pink Pirouette, Crisp Cantaloupe, Smoky Slate and Soft Suede, in the Clean and Simple Style:

For the sketch From Freshly Made Sketches, I chose to make each panel in the sketch a separate layer:

For the Emboss It! technique from The Paper Plunge I chose to use the Stampin Up Print Poetry embossing folder.

The main stamp on the card is Sweetbriar Rose, the background is stamped with Gorgeous Grunge in Pink Pirouette, Crisp Cantaloupe and Soft Suede. The greeting is from the And Many More set.

Check out the cards made by other participants in the challenge, and of course the talented designers.
