Taking a break from Easter today to share a challenge card with you. I love on-line challenges, they get you to move out of your comfort zone and try things you may not have tried on your own. There are several sketch challenges I try to participate in each week, many of which you never see. But today I outdid myself in that I was able to complete not one but THREE challenges with one card design. Here is my card...
Wow, this set hasn't seen ink in quite awhile! I chose this set because the Challenge over at The Paper Players Theme challenge this week was "Rain or Shine". Living in sunny Florida you would think I would go right for the "shine" in this challenge but nope, not me. Always the problem child, lol! The layout or sketch came from the Try Stamping on Tuesday Blog and the color combo came from the color challenge at the Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration blog. You can click on any of the links to play along!
You really can't see it in the photo but my little poodle is colored with my clear Wink of Stella Brush Pen. My two girls are decked out in some fun prints that were stamped on Designer Series Paper, cut with my exacto knife and pieced onto my stamped image. I'm not sure I would have paired these three colors together if it had not been for the color challenge but I love the way they look together (although I did add a little basic black to ground my layers) and I'm sure I will be using this combination again.
I have to admit I was pretty proud of myself for this one. I am loving this card and the fact that I was able to complete not one but three challenges with only one card made me pretty happy. I hope you enjoyed it too and thanks for stoppin' by!
