Little Critters Thank You

A couple of challenge cards

Today I have a couple of cards I made for some challenges.  First I have a card I made late Friday night just after the inspiration challenge was posted on SCS.  The inspiration came from a online store called Kirkland's.  I found this cork board and was inspired to make this card.

 I am not all that thrilled with how it came out, but went with it anyway.  I also am entering this into one of the challenges on StampTV for the release to use metal on your project, I used brads as thumbtacks. 

Then today I made this round card for a few different challenges which I have listed below.

One of the challenges is for another challenge on StampTV for the Gina K Designs release.  This one was a true challenge as Deb Felts challenged isy to step out of our comfort zone and not use some of your normal go to items.  For me I felt that meant I should not use copics. I love to color and copics are my tool of choice.  So I dusted off the old colored pencils and OMS and colored up this beautiful flower from Theresa set Little Critters.  I also made the choice to not go with a normal shaped card.  Last Friday Beate posted how she made a round easel card and I loved it and knew I wanted to give it a try. 

Challenges for this card

1. StampTV: Out of your stamping zone
2. Mark's Finest Papers: 3 pastel colors, 3 embellishments, and make it round
3. Let's Ink It Up:  Die Cuts/Punches
4. Desert Island Crafters: Intenirary items- Unusally sentiment, fancy folds, fibers
