Happy Ever After

I've been struck by inspiration lightning today in the form of a number of fantastic blog challenges. I've chosen to incorporate four of them into this card's design.


The colour scheme of Pink, Black and white comes from the CCEE Stampers challenge #1216.

With such a clean palette I had to go with a Clean and Simple sketch, so CAS-ual Fridays challenge #49 sketch was perfect.

I was drawn to the 'How Charming' challenge laid down by the guys down at Less is More this week because I'm not usually one for using charms on my cards. However, never one to shy away from a challenge, I made my own charm using shrink plastic and a stamp from Stampin' Up's Fifth Avenue Floral set. I stamped the image using Memento ink and coloured it with my Promarkers before shrinking it with my heat gun.

Last, but not least, I'd like to enter this card in the C.R.A.F.T challenge #151 for being an anniversary card.

  12. A great take on the CCEE Stampers' colour challenge :D. I'm colour-challenge challenged - I shall have to remember this CAS approach next time I have to do one.
