Tic Tac Toe Challenge #287

Here is the current TicTacToe challenge board for challenge #287:

I went with the top horizontal row of circles, pastels and embossing.

I dry embossed white cardstock and then punched circles from it and adhered the flower images to the circles.  

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #725

 Here is the current sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches:

Here's my card for the sketch:  

I stamped a plaid pattern on white cardstock, then diecut a diamond pattern from it, snipping off some edges to make it a bit wonky.   Just added a couple of die cut and colored flowers and a sentiment strip to keep this one pretty simple.  

The Sisterhood of Crafters - February challenge

 The current challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters is to use stitching on your project.  I had just finished a scrapbook page inspired by a challenge at CSI Scrapbook Challenges, and happily it fit this challenge category!

I used up a lot of scraps to piece the background heart, and then used several stitching stamps to give it the look of a crazy quilt.  The title was cut with my Cricut, using three layers of black cardstock for a little dimension.  I wish I could say this made a dent in my scrap basket, but it didn't, lol!

CAS on Friday Challenge #328

 The current challenge at Clean & Simple on Friday is to make a cute card.  This was good timing, since I'm working on cards for the Cards for Cubs drive.   A cute birthday card was just the ticket!

The image is from Mama Elephant, colored with Olo markers, and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.  I've been using Lawn Fawn's River Rock premium ink when I'm using alcohol markers to color images and I really like it.  It gives a little softer look than stamping with black ink.

AAA Cards Challenge #308 - sketch

 Challenge #308 at AAA cards is a sketch challenge:

It's a simple sketch that could be used either vertically or horizontally and made to fit different occasions.

I had a leftover stamped floral piece from a previous card, so cut that into strips and then added a stamped sentiment and a die cut circle.  Loved working with this sketch!

Color Hues Challenge #127 - peach and teal

 Here is the current challenge at Color Hues Challenges:

I used a Concord & 9th Turnabout stamp set for this one, with two shades of peach and two shades of teal inks.

This was such a nice challenge - not sure I would have put these colors together on my own, but I really love the end result!

FarmQuest Challenge #80

 FarmQuest Challenge #80 is to create a project highlighting snow sports or activities.   Here's my card for the challenge:

I used a very old Flourishes stamp set to make this snowglobe scene of a girl building a snowman.  We've had a lot of snow this winter, but it wasn't suitable for building a snowman, so just have to make one on a card, lol!  The image was colored with OLO markers and then I ink blended the edges of the white cardstock and also the blue cardstock mat.  

No offense to Jack Frost, but I hope we're done with the cold and snow and are ready to head into Spring....but I'm sure that's optimistic thinking!
