And More Challenges

As I stated a couple of days ago, the temps here in AZ are stupid hot - through next week!  That said, I was holed up in my stamp room creating away the week end.  I'm good with that, and also the challenges that I joined in.

Let's start with CAS on Sunday #233; Condolences.  Not a card I like making, [though I am happy with this one] but good to have on hand!  I used the colors from Color Throwdown #696.

I actually used a Martha Stewart punch for the butterfly!  Can't tell you how long it's been since that happened! LOL.

I sponged on the ink, and used a few unbranded dies for the die cuts.  The sentiment is from Simon Says Pawprints on Our Hearts.  Yep, a pet sympathy set, but it works for people too. Yay.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I went on to join in the Just Add Ink #607 - Pick 2 - Coffee, Tea, Friend.  [You can tell what I chose]. Also, I used the colors from the MFT Color Challenge #191, and lastly, the Inkspirational Challenge #267; Use a digital element.

I used a digi image from STAMPlorations; Coffee Bloom Prints for the coffee cup, and colored it with Copics.  The Sweet Friend is a die set from CAS-ual Fridays; Sweet Friend Dies.

My coffee drinking friend is going to love this! 😀

That's it for today's eye candy!  Thanks Challenges, I had fun!
