It's Monday

and I have some free time!  That said, I am joining in a couple of challenges.

First off, Simon Says Monday Challenge; Spooky/Add Some Purple.  When I saw this, I knew I wanted to make a purple moon.

I used a few stencils for this card; moon, clouds, and trees.  Sure does make creating a card easy.

I stamped a few bats since this purple moon and clouds give off a "spooky feel"

===============================================

I found another challenge that is new to me, Inspiration Station #66.  I do have to say, I adore inspiration photos and mood boards.  This one was really fabulous. I am loving the bright colors and the black.

 

I don't usually care for the yellow, orange, red combo, but, when used against black...yes please!  I used the Simon Says Abundant Leaves Die for the background leaves, and the Simon Says Bountiful Sunflower.  The plate die is from Kat's Scrappiness; Mini Slimline Diamond Wire & Woodgrain Die. [Sadly, this is no longer available]

I just adore a bright and bold mini slimline card!  I hope my neighbors do too, as this is for them.
 

Thanks Challenges!  I had so.much.fun.!

Vicki, I think you have a real knack for stenciling those clouds! SO much depth and distance achieved - LOve the purple and big purple moon and bats!
I've seen those gorgeous inspiration photos around and always save them for 'later' then forget! Glad you brought that dramatic black to the table today - so gorgeous!
