Happy New Year everyone. I've got a few cards to share today. First up is a card using some NBUS that I'm linking up to Darnell's NBUS Challenge #3. My NBUS is a Studio Calico Chevron Mask stencil, and I'm not saying when I got it. I am also linking up to Virginia's View Challenge #11: Clean Slate because of all the white space on this card.
I used this temporary adhesive recommended by Jennifer McGuire and have to say that it made all the difference. I was able to sponge all around the stencil without having the bits of plastic shift around. I used various Distress Inks in a rainbow color scheme. I used this sketch from the January PTI Inspiration Archive.
My last card is for the challenge Kara is holding on her blog to celebrate her 200th week of the Friday Inspiration File. Kara has challenged us to choose a pin from the file and create a project. I chose to case this card from Betsy Veldman. I am also celebrating with ColourMe and their ColorMe...One year anniversary party. I chose #34, and used Baja Breeze, Crisp Cantaloupe and Calypso Coral.
I'm linking up all three cards at Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes challenge.
Well, that's it for me today.
Thanks for Visiting

ReplyDeleteYou and your cards never fail to impress me and inspire me, Joyce! Just the way your mind works and how you tie in all the challenges is so engaging! You make it all look so easy, but I know it takes a ton of time and thought to orchestrate the card symphonies like you do! Thank you so much for joining in my NBUS Challenge #3!! Enjoy the weekend!
