Card Challenges to Share

Happy Friday, I'm watching the most amazing French Open semi-finals right now, if you're not into tennis now is the time to start!

I have been lacking inspiration for card making, so I searched for a lot of challenge blogs that appealed to me, here's what I made...

Challenge from 365 Cards
The pink and brown scallop card I created for the 'Favorite Things' challenge over at http://365cards.blogspot.com/ You had to make a card inspired by your favorite ice cream flavor, and mine is strawberry and I always add mini chocolate chips! Yum. I know it's a little literal with the strawberry in the middle, but I thought it was too cute to leave out. The inside reads "How Sweet of You!"


This challenge is from http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/ with unusual shaped cards. If you notice, I was inspired by the scallop sketch to make the ice cream card, but I wanted to make another one...
Made for challenge at Mojo Monday

The next one is a sketch challenge from CardPatterns http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/2011/05/sketch-117.html I had a lot of fun making this one, and look for it again on the next How-To Tuesday!

Made for CardPatterns challenge

Lastly is a card for Hero Arts June challenge, this was my first time (since I was about 7) using water colors, I like how fun and happy it turned out!



Thanks for browsing, have a great weekend!

    These are all so pretty! I love them all but my fav is the butterfly card (I am partial to butterflies) although that is really cool that you got to play with watercolors for the 3rd one! It is a very happy card! Good Luck with the challenges!

    Thanks for the great comment you left on my blog. It is nice to hear that a project looked good! It is hard to look at it analytically when you have stared at it for so many hours :)
