Celebrate! CTD# 354, CCT #385

 

this inchie/grid/quilt style card was creating for the Colorthrowdown challenge #354.  This is a great beach-ie color combination that I don't think I would have put together without this challenge.    The colors are described as:  aqua blue, light coral, grass green and kraft shades.    This greeting is perfect for any celebration.  I used die cuts, punches, metal and plastic embellishments, ribbon, thread and twine.  This card is also being entered into Cute Card Thursday's one word challenge #385.  My word is Celebrate! (stampin Up rubber stamp).

365 Cards: Sketchy #41 & Bday Sundaes #4

                                                 Here is Today's challenge on 365 cards:  http://365cards.blogspot.com/2011/04/day-41-super-sketchy-sunday.html I instantly saw a cupcake when I saw this sketch!  so I remembered in my stash I have a terrific die cut that I bought from a friend on Etsy.  her name is Sandy, and here is a link to her shop:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/sandyssentiments?section_id=6898830  I started looking for other challenges that might inspire the rest of the card and I found another card challenge site called Birthday Sundaes: http://birthdaysundaes.blogspot.com/2011/04/challenge-4-inspiration-picture.html They have an inspiration picture for challenge #4  that shows pink and white stripes with a banner  in the background.  I chose party hats to emulate the banner for a festive embellishment.
