A New Challenge!

One of my FAVORITE designers, Mindy Backes, has started a new challenge site, FabFriday!  This site is right up my alley because it is Stampin' Up! only!  If you love SU! as much as I do, this will be a great place for inspiration for you.  The very first challenge was a sketch challenge.  I paired this with a color challenge at Pals Paper Arts.

 

 

This is such a versatile sketch and one that I know I will be able to use frequently.  The basic sketch doesn't require a lot of supplies but you could always step it up a notch and embellish away!  For my card, I decided to keep it simple.  I was also excited to use this color combination.  I have used similar colors on halloween cards and wanted to do something different.  I decided to go back to my roots...flowers!

 

 

My Mother-in-law's birthday is coming up, so I made this for her.  She is always so appreciative of my handmade cards, and I know she will love it and save it.  Just Believe is one of my favorite stamp sets for florals, especially this image.  It is such a nice size and can easily be the focal image of any card without adding too many other embellishments. I love the white space on this card.  It really draws your eye to the flowers, I think!
