Hello and welcome!
I just realized I haven't posted here in almost a month.
July was a busy month for us, what with everyday life,
the constant battle of weeding this lovely
bermuda grass out of the flower beds and veggie garden, (and with
the intense heat wave it's been slow going), and
one of my sisters flew out to visit us for 10 days.
We even took a mini trip to the beach!
First time in two years. It was heavenly!
So now I am back in my craft room, trying to
get the mojo going again. I combined a
few challenges to make this card:
I love aqua/teal/turquoise colors so that's what I
used on my card.
Seize the Birthday #310 challenges us to use our favorite
color, and I paired that with the sketch at
The Paper Players #748. Since I used a stencil on
the card base, I'm also linking this up
That's all I got for now. Thank you so much for visiting!
I hope you have a great rest of your day!

So glad you had time to make a card and what a great job of combining it with three challenges, Chris. Thanks for sharing your colorful card with us at Just Us Girls.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bobby great job combining the challenges! Your card is layered in loveliness. Thanks for sharing it with us at Just Us Girls!
ReplyDeleteSometime mojo does just need to be found but it looks to me like yours has returned! I like the patterned stamping on the card front and the texture in the circle - very coordinated. Thanks for joining in with my sketch at The Paper Players this week. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand way to combine all three challenges, Chris! The stenciling is so pretty and I have to say those are my favorite colors too, so I was quite smitten seeing your card in the gallery. Thanks for playing along with the Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteYour mojo is definitely flowin', Chris! This card seamlessly combines all three challenges. The teal and aqua hues are lovely...I am a fan of these colors. . The tone-on-tone stenciling and rich texture are beautiful together. Thank you for sharing with The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteDoing challenges is a great way to get back into crafting, Chris. I love your use of colors and that wonderful background. Such a great take on Jan's sketch challenge this week. So glad you shared this with us at The Paper Players this week.
