Three Challenges Card

Last evening after having a tooth pulled yesterday I finally got in the mood to create. I was doing some looking at different sites and blogs and came up with this card. It fulfills three challenges on one card. The first  is for WT487 on SCS to use lots of textures. Then it fits the HSS189 Color challenge and thirdly, the CCMC311 Sketch. I loved all three challenges and came up with a card I will need in the future for a fall themed swap.

Stamp: Gently Falling (2-step stamping) and Hey There Buds

Ink; Crisp Cantaloupe, Tangelo Twist, Hello Honey, So Saffron

Paper: Colors to be used Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon, Tangelo Twist, Whisper White

Accessories. Big Shot, Embossing Folder, Pearls, Satin Ribbon, Butterfly Punch

My many textures are the Lost Lagoon layer is embossed and hard to see, Another texture is the hand cut leaves and curled on the edges, added a ribbon bow and pearls to the butterfly.

Thanks for looking, I hope I have inspired you. Any and all comments are greatly appreciated.

Merry Christmas Collectibles

Another Christmas card to add to the class selections and possibly for my 100 cards I still have to make for Christmas this year. This has to be one of my favorites I have made so far this year. Thanks to FMS99 for the color challenge and CCMC264 for the sketch. These are a couple of my favorite sites to play on each week. But as I have said all week this is my really big day to play as I am headed back to work in the school district tomorrow for orientation and then on Monday every day for the next 211+ working days. Thanks Narelle for your inspiration, I knew today was going to be Christmas cards no matter what the challenges.
