SO MANY CHALLENGES….SO LITTLE TIME

Hi everyone! Just wanted to get this quick post out to show you my card that will be entered into the following challenges:

Mojo Monday 222

Stamp School Art Room Color Challenge 1-2-12

The Shabby Tea Room Week #95 Time Flies

I’ll give you the details on these challenges but first I will show you my card….

Friend

This little card was hard to photograph because of the pastel colors, but hopefully you get the idea. The broomstick crochet lace was crocheted by me.

Friend2

This medallion is stamped with Rubber Stamp Tapestry’s Bunny Garden Set . I just adore the cute little bunny included in this set, and the flowers are so dainty and sweet.

The sentiment is also from RST. It is their "Friend" Block Stamp (1" x 1.5") .

The sketch came from the Mojo Monday sketch this week.

And if you have not been to the Stamp School site, you should check it out once you leave comments here!  You will find new products and challenges there.  This month, the color challenge is just gorgeous.  I can’t wait to order their totally awesome card stock!

And of course you know I always try to get in on The Shabby Tea Room challenge because they are so inspiring. And, this week is no exception. Just look at that fabulous inspiration photo! For the challenge we are to create a card or project inspired by the above photo and USE SOMETHING WITH WINGS!

Complete instructions are listed below, so if you want all the details, please scroll down.

I hope you enjoyed reading about my card today and will leave comments before you leave! Thanks for stopping by….
