Another chilly, rainy day here. Teach me to complain about the lack of rain! Chrissie and Mandi at Less Is More have the funnest challenge posted today. We get to look at the list of 58 past challenges, choose any three of them, and combine the criteria from them on the card. Take a look at their site and join in the fun! Oh, and they want us to say what three past challenges we are choosing and the week number of those challenges. Flaming horsefish, I hope I got all that right this time. For those who read me regularly, you know that I'm Less-Is-More-challenged! There always seems to be some confusion on my part - and all on my part!
So on this gloomy day, here is a sunny and bright card:
And here are the challenges I chose:
Week 29 - Things That Move - okay, obviously the birds, but it's a congratulations card for
a new home for people who moved! Get it?!
Week 44 - Colour Green - covered.
Week 56 - Don't Scrap It - I used scraps for the background DSP and the "sun."
This was another opportunity to watercolor, which I'm finding so peaceful. If you look closely you can see Waldo. I'm kidding, just seeing if you were paying attention. You can see that I used Versamark to stamp the sunflower image on the card base. I don't have a "New Home" stamp, so I just wrote it on my little homemade sun.
I also took a picture of the inside just to CMA, because I saw Week 13 was Lucky Dip, Thank You or Congratulations, but I'm not sure if those words needed to be on the outside. (I still don't know what the heckle "Lucky Dip" is BTW, but I figure a helpful LIMette will fill me in when that challenge rolls around again.)
I do know I'm certainly a lucky duck to welcome another new follower, Sheree! You must go check her out! Child, what she can do with distress ink will make your head turn all the way around on your shoulders!
Paper: SU, unknown, and I've no idea where I
got that dots, stars, and diamond DSP
Stamps: Stampendous N048 Birdhouse Fence;
Hero Arts A782 Small Sunflower and
D542 Confetti Congratulations!
Ink: Versafine onyx black
Accessories: SU scallop border punch
You may think our challenge is fun Darnell, but your posts are fun to read too!
ReplyDeleteLucky Dip is a bit like a Wild Card... on the months where there is an extra Saturday present we get to choose what ever category of challenge we fancy... so there'll be a surprise for you next week.
There's not a lot of white space left on this one Darnell, but it's such a cute card.
Thanks so much, we really appreciate you joining us each week.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving such a kind comment :) This is such a delightful card - so fun and cheerful. It is beautifully coloured and I love the textured card stock and the cut corner too - they add so much interest.
ReplyDeleteAnother most enjoyable post Darnell. I love your card. It's so beautifully painted and I'd say you covered all the challenges quite nicely.
