Thoughtful Journey Patterned Paper

Today's card was inspired by two challenges. Betty has presented a great board at Tic Tac Toe Challenges #252. I went with the center column of die cuts, free space and any sentiment. The sketch for my card is from CASE-ing Tuesday #470.

Snorkeling Fun

The card I am sharing tonight was inspired by two fun challenges. CAS on Friday Challenges #288 required circles. I thought the circles would work great with the snorkeling sea creatures I wanted to use for As You See It Challenge #328. They have a Fill in the Blank: My Favorite Thing to do at the Beach. I like to explore the tide pools and snorkel.

Another Christmas in July

Creative Colour Challenges #150 has some interesting colors this week. They are Pretty in Pink. Early Espresso and Pretty in Peacock. I wasn't quite sure what to do with these colors, I was thinking floral. I remembered a Christmas challenge that wanted wood elements, Christmas Stampaton 2024. So, I pulled out my favorite Ringed with Nature stamp set and put a card together. I also pulled in Jen B's fabulous sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #645.
