This Week's Challenges - Card 4

My fourth challenge card for this weekend has inspiration from SU-Only Challenges

SUO Challenge #127: Use your favourite new stamps

This card used "Guy Greetings" and Writing Notes from the new 2015-16 Annual Catalogue.

Many of my stamps are flowery or cutesy and I have been looking for a male stamp set that isn't about golf or fishing.

The greeting on the front is raised using dimensionals, and the ribbon is the retired natural ribbon, however you can use the 5/8" Natural Chevron Ribbon and use the reverse side for the same look.

SUO Challenges have wonderful challenge ideas and their designers have some amazing examples to help with inspiration, check out their site.

This week's challenges - Card 3

My third challenge card for this weekend has inspiration from two challenges:

Atlantic Hearts Challenge #117 - A sketch challenge

Color Throwdown Challenge #352 - A colour challenge

This card used the Hexagon Hive thinlits, from the new 2015-16 Annual Catalogue, as the main feature on the front of the card. The greeting is from "Guy Greetings". I ran the thinlit over 4 lots of card, the colours from the challenge (Pear Pizzazz, Lost Lagoon, Sahara Sand and Basic Grey) and pieced the different colours together.

The three Pearl Basic Jewels were coloured with the Lost Lagoon Stampin' Write Marker and the greeting stamped with Versamark.

My second challenge card for this weekend has inspiration from Paper Craft Crew.

Card Sketch #154: A sketch challenge.

This card used "Guy Greetings" from the new 2015-16 Annual Catalogue. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the Neutrals Colour Collection. The inner circle is the 2 1/2" circle punch and the outer circle is the 6th smallest circle framelit. The tag is from the Cutie Pie Thinlits set.

Paper Craft Crew have a great archive of sketches to help when you are struggling for ideas and their designers have some amazing examples to help with inspiration.
