Evening all! The night before last I dreamed about a sunflower card. There is a field full of them in one of our neighbouring villages and they look so elegant at this time of the year standing tall and reaching for the sun! There were a few challenges that inspired this card. Firstly Colour Hues Challenge #5 was to use the a Kraft and Yellow combination which I loooove - pop over and see all the gorgeous inspiration by the TCH designers.
Always Fun Challenges #187 was to use Kraft as well so that worked out well!
Mojo Monday is one of my favourite Sketch Challenges - I just adore Julie Tilman's sketches and Mojo Monday Sketch #549 is no exception. I saw the sunflower in place of that circle and then just had to work out the other elements.
This week the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge prompt is Thinking of You. Sending a "Hello" is definitely showing you're thinking of someone!
Use Your Stuff Challenge #409 is to use Stripes. It took me a while but eventually I found this piece of striped, yellow DP and put it to use!
Just us Girls Challenge #561 is to use triangles, which is why when I was looking through my border dies I chose this triangular bunting border die!
Neither the Kraft or the yellow card stock worked for the last design sketch element - the label under the circle. I happened to have a piece of gold mirror card in my scraps and cut this label to complete the sketch. There are two challenges to use gold - The Current Sisterhood of Crafters challenge and CardzforGalz Challenge #134!
Finally the border die I used to edge the rectangular sketch element is new so I'm going to enter this card in NBUS Challenge #20!
