Challenges everywhere

I love to find challenges, they inspire me.

So my first card that I want to share today was created with the color challenge of Colour Q and I also used the 2 Sketches 4 You sketch #51 for this week.

I have wanted to use this photo that I took of some lilies and they just seemed to fit with the shape of the sketch and the colors. The white cardstock was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Notice my NEW punch! It is an 8-in-1 punch, I saw them used and just had to give one a try. Plus, I pleated some patterned paper for my accent across the bottom of the card.

This card uses the sketch at Taylored Expressions and it also uses a bouquet of roses stamp by Taylored Expressions. I thought the My Little Shoebox cloud patterned paper was a fun match.

I cut a label shape and accented that with a blue pen and some yellow Memories Mist spray. The flowers were colored with Copic markers and tiny pearls accented that.

For this card I used the sketch at Get Sketchy and some Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker papers. This paper is a big circle and I used a portion of it and that made for the perfect fit for the sketch.

The lines in the side of the card are created in the Core'dinations cardstock with a Score-Pal tool and then that was sanded.

Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)
