Two cards- several challenges


When my son saw this inspiration picture from the very first colour me challenge he exclaimed - "you have to play in this challenge" - and guess what - he was right!


   
I took a very literal approach here, since that picture is just perfect! Here is my card:


Since it also kind of fits the sketch from the Friday Mashup I'm linking it there as well.


Materials:
 Die and sentiment by Avery Elle, 
stamp: Close to my Heart One Way Borders Flair
Paper Candi buttons

I am linking this card with the Snippets Playground - used several Snippets here

Here is the inspiration picture for this weeks Color Throwdown






I finally stocked up on my Neat and Tangles stamp supply and now own several sets! Yeahh, I finally can play better in the Neat and Tangled challenge, called Little Tangles.

The two stamp sets I used are Everyday Labels and Party Dots. I also used Washi tape, stuck it onto white card stock, since I did not want it to be transparent and punched a 2"circle. The sentiment is heat embossed.

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car
