Anyway, I found a few new blogs today with fun challenges and ended up adding a few of them together with the Clean & Simple challenge from SCS today. That's right- I combined three challenges despite my typical disdain for combining multiple challenges.
- OCC (Our Creative Corner) challenge is to use blossoms on a card. Well that's easy enough this time of year!
- I also joined the Stampin' 411 team with their sketch challenge
- And finally, the CAS challenge on Splitcoast to use Jen's favorite color ORANGE.
This is probably a tiny bit more detailed than I would do for a Clean & Simple challenge, but the impact comes from the texturing which is so easy and quick with the Big Shot. And the tulips are very easily made with the Two-Step Bird Punch wing x3 for each one.
Did you notice the use of the ornament punch for the vase again? I haven't done that in a while, but it is a super easy way to make a cute vase.
I hope you like it and consider checking out these fun challenges! Have a great day!
