retrosketches #22

Challenges, challenges, challenges I seem to love challenges!  

Today's inspiration is from Retro Sketches...              And my offering....











 
I used paper scraps from "Stella" and stamped the background and sentiment in Lagoon Ink from the "Just for You" stamp set.  Finished off with a Badge Button in Pewter and resisted the urge to add more.  So had to resit the urge...

Ariana and Delicate Wings...

Working on cards for my monthly Card Club and I love to use "challenges" to help me focus (sometimes I have too many ideas and not enough paper!).  Challenges are not only helpful but also a lot of fun.
Products I used to make this cards are the very pretty Ariana Paper Packet, the sentiment is from the Joyful Birthday Stamp Set (B1419) and the current Petite Perks - Delicate Wings (ask me how you can get yours free!) for the stamped images. All stamping was done in Indian Corn Blue Ink and all products are from Close To My Heart.  Some of the challenges that inspired me for this card are:
