Hello Sunshine!

 

Here's a clean and simple card for three challenges.

First, it's for the Inspire Create Challenge#220 here. It's a challenge to make a single layer card. One would think that would be pretty easy?? Not always for me! But I think it turned out cute!

Second, the colors are for the Creative Colour Challenge#250 here. The colors to use are Gray Graphite, Lost Lagoon and Timid Tiger.

Finally, it's for The Paper Players#795 here. It's a Clean and Simple challenge of going to the beach.

Again, I thought of the Splash & Relax stamp set.


Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Splash & Relax

Papers: White

Inks: Timid Tiger, Gray Graphite, Lost Lagoon

Accessories: none

Relax & Enjoy

 

Here's a cute, summery card for three challenges.

First, I've used the sketch at the Paper Craft Crew#681 here.

Second, it's for the Inspired By Challenge#397 here. I was inspired by the colors, thinking of the new, Hydrangea Hue and some Granny Apple Green.

Finally, it's for Just Us Girls#832 here. It's Mood Board week and I was drawn to the blues of the beach and the sunglasses and summer theme.

Splash & Relax is the stamp set with some 206-2028 In Color Gingham Gallery DSP, 2026-2028 In Color Painted Patterns DSP and Brights Painted Patterns DSP.

Here's my recipe:
