The Challenge

Hi Everyone,

seriously did you think I could bypass that stunning inspiration photo from The Challenge???
No way!!!


Just took me a while to think how to convert the image into a card.
Today I figured it out. Took that fun die cut from Poppy Stamps, did some sponging and inlaid die cutting. I could not settle on a sentiment, so I left it blank, for future use.



Here is the photo:

You did not think, that I would throw out the negative die cuts and those little pieces, did you? No, of course I made a second card with it:


Here I added a little THANKS in the corner, its from CASual Fridays.

Fabulous take on the challenge - I love the CAS design and the bright colours. I like leaving cards blank too, you never know when one might come in handy! Xx

So I thought that this challenge you will definitely not let go of :-) These colors are after your the hallmarks! I'm glad to see your unusual interpretation of the images. I was wondering how did the mixing of colors in a mixed area, but as I had read post to the end everything became clear :-) Thank you for the inspiration.
hugs,
BozenA

You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey.

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
