I have been blogging ahead this month so that I could stay on top of things and today was the first day I had not loaded in advance... I am glad I didn't though because there were a few SUPER FUN challenges that I decided to do! :)
The first is for Clean & Simple Stamping 157. I loved this sketch when I say Amy's card here and made a mental note to play along..now I have nearly missed my chance! LOL
Well earlier this week I had shared a card using Kraft cardstock & my CPS Sketch. Beth had commented and invited me to play along at The Kraft Journal Challenge (Use Kraft CS & a Sketch) - So this card falls into their challenge again!
Then finally this card also falls into the CAS-ual Friday's Challenge to make a "small card" (4"x4" or smaller).
**Edited to add I found that this fit's Lisa Sommerville's Blogger's Challenge this week - using Buttons! ***
I used some really fun things on this card and thought now that you have a fun list of challenges to play along with this weekend you might want to know what I did for my card! :)
My stamps used are from Impression Obsession. They are the Cover A Card - Music & a sweet baby set that I can't seem to find online so it very well may be discontinued - so sorry! I inked the CAC with Tsukineko's Cotton White VersaMagic, then crumpled up a piece of scrap paper and pounced it accross the surface of the stamp so that I could create that "not perfect" stamped image. The sentiment is stamped using Midnight Black VersaMagic. A great ink for stamping onto lightly textured cardstock like this one here.
I then diecut my felt using Spellbinders Nested Duck die to do the little ducky and then I embellished him using some buttons from the button jar, some Cappuccino Twine from The Twinery & a mini pearl from Want2Scrap. Enjoy!
