Card Challenge Amazingness....

So, as most of you know,blogging in pretty new to me, BUT my friend Nicole (you may know her from Sweet Stamp Shop) is a PRO. We decided to get together for a fun craft night in her super amazing craft room (so jealous lol) and she introduced me for the first time to CARD CHALLENGES! Let me tell you what, I think I am hooked. What a great way to get inspirtion and challenge yourself to design and create.

Our first challenge of the night was from CASE STUDY


And this was our inspiration, designed by Teri Anderson

 
I Loved the color scheme ,but I also love the the circle grid on top so I decided to play with those two ideas and this is what I came up  with
 



SO, thanks to all the wonderful supplies Nicole had, I created this masterpiece. I am really loving it!Some of my favorite things to work with are wood pieces and the hello heart totally finished it off. It has layers, dimension and most importantly naturalness :)

Up next was our "White On White" challenge from Simon Says Stamps

I really loved the challenge of making something only using white, and since there are, ironically, so many shades of white out there there is really endless possibilities.

This is what I ended up with and I couldn't be happier with it.
 
I again used some wood pieces, the hearts are from Freckled Fawn, stumbled up a fun little technique by accident. Since this challenge was an all white challenge i needed my wood pieced to be white, so, I used some white re-inker and when I went to pick it up I dropped it upside down...ooops...but that led to the fun heart background that you see in the picture. In a nutshell, I used the heart as a stamp!!!

 
OOO I felt so clever and it was the perfect texture that this white challenge needed!
 
Now go get crafty!!!
