Let the Challenges Begin!!


I am finally working on challenges again!  I was out of town for 3 days, brought my granddaughter back with me and she stayed a week at the same time I was taking a
class from Jessica Sprague.  Left me no time or energy to work on cards!!  So my card today
starts with a base of CTMH Sunflower cs, used a Cuttlebug Divine Swirls embossing folder on it. Used a 1.25" McGill circle punch on CTMH Birthday Bash dp and used a circle cutter from Creative Memories to cut the other circles at around 2" also on the Birthday Bash paper. Cut a 1.5" strip from Colorbok Paper Pack in green.  Used the Martha Stewart Doily Punch on both sides of the strip to make my ribbon.  I used CTMH Simple Stitches acrylic stamp set with CTMH Evergreen embossing powder and Super Emboss Stamp Pad from Personal Stamp Exchange to make my faux stitching on my ribbon. Next I stamped a butterfly from CTMH Bold Butterflies wood mounted stamp set with Kaleidacolor Pastel stamp pad, and finally used embellies from Bead Design gemstones. I made my button out of the 1.25 circle, punched two holes in it and threaded CTMH Sunflower and Holiday Red Ribbon through it.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:

        Annabelle Stamps Blog - sketch

Cricut Cardz Challenge & Cowgirl's Sunday Blog Hop

The theme for this card came from Cricut Cardz Challenge, Vacation.  Cowgirl's Sunday Challenge had a blog hop today and their theme was "Anything Goes" so I am entering
this card in both Challenges!  If you haven't joined the Cowgirl's Sunday Blog Hop, please do
so now, they have some very beautiful cards!

For this card, I cut the camper and the fire from the Going Places cart. The tree and clouds were from the Serenade cart. The cardstocks were from Colorbok and CTMH. I blended CTMH Crystal Blue into the clouds and tinted the camper with CTMH Golden Amber and Cocoa. The
stripes for the camper came from the CTMH Recipe Flipside wooden mounted stamp. The words were from an old sentiment sticker sheet.
