2 Fun Challenges

I got a couple of inspiring challenges in my email and simply had to play along!

Let's start with the Just Add Ink #615 - inspiration photo.  It so talked to me!

I love these colors together!  I used a water colored panel [from my stash] and cut out some of the fun leaves from the [retired] MFT Wild Leaf Greenery.  I don't have any vases, but I used some lantern dies that I have, and WHOA - perfect!  I couldn't of been happier with my "vases".

I used a Simon Says Sentiment Strip to finish off my card.

I went on to play in CAS on Sunday #237 - Enamel Dots. I went a searching -- I had a TON, and I do mean a TON, of sequins - very few enamel dots.  However, I found just enough to complete my card - so yay!

I used the Stamps of Life Happy Birthday Word Dies for layering, and added in the enamel dots.  It's a win for me having had the dots in orange since they went with the mix of colors on my card!

I'm loving this end result~

Thanks Challenges - I had a ton of fun 😀

A very clever idea to use the lanterns as vases with the fun leaves, and the colour blocked bacground creates a great effect. Fab interpretation of the challenge image. Thanks for playing along at Just Add Ink.
Di, JAI
