Woohoo! Feels good to be stampin' today! And BONUS, my new Stampin' Up! preorder from the Summer Mini Catalog just arrived so I've got new stuff to enjoy the rest of the day!! Unfortunately I've got a sick kid home today who wants to share mama's computer time.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!
