One Birthday Card, 3 challenges

Today I am posting a Birthday card to 3 challenges. I think this might be the first time I have done this and actually fit the challenge time limits!

First the challenges:

Sentiment from SU Really Good Greetings stamp set

At first, I wasn't sure how I would incorporate the colors presented by the colourQ crew, but I found this polka dot paper in my stash, and I feel it fits. What do you think?

I did use my Expression machine and the Celebrate cartridge to cut the party hat.  I have been using the machine more lately and need a little refresher course on how to get cleaner cuts.  I do think some new mats are in order though to obtain that goal.

Have a wonderful weekend and why not stop by the challenge blogs and do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,

To a Great Friend/ Mojo #383

Just a quick card tonight using the MOJO383 sketch. I wasn't intending on  creating a card or posting tonight, but I was looking through some old papers I had. I came across this cute background paper. Gosh, I'm not even sure how old it is or who produced it, but I knew wanted to use it with this sketch. So off I went to my studio.( By the way, if any of you know the name of the manufacturer, please let me know.) 

I did combine it with some older Bazzill papers and some SU papers and inks. (Melon Mambo/Perfect Polka Dots EF/Lucky Limeade ink/Primrose Petal ink)

I had just recently received the FREE new Sale-A-Bration stamp Simply Wonderful and love the way this worked on the card. I can see me keeping this around for a long while. 

 

 

Well thats about it for tonight. 

Go have yourself a CRAFTY evening!

Hugs,

Thinking of You/FMS 171

I'm just making this Freshly Made Sketches challenge under the wire! I did have it finished up last night, but decided to wait until this morning. Wrong decision. :0(

I needed a manly Thinking of You card and this sketch was perfect. I love the images in the set By the Tide,and decided to use it for a masculine feel. There is a card in the SU 2014-2015 catalog ( pg 130) that I CASEd my focal image from, although I did use the new stamp, Crazy about You and Gorgeous Grunge on my card.


Other stuff you might want to know:
The color combination: Marina Mist, Crushed Curry: Ink and Paper,Pear Pizzazz: Ink and Paper.I also used one of my favorite SU papers for a more rustic look, Naturals White. The banners were embossed with the SU Decorative Dots EF.

I hope you have and wonderful and CRAFTY day!

Hugs,
BernieBee
