I guess with "my" new homeschool schedule, I'll be doing lots of combined challenges this year! I better start taking lessons from the queen of combinations, Miss Neva! This one covers the color, sketch, and ways to use it! All wonderful this week.
This card is a thank you to a coworker who gave me a very cool treasure box of trinkets, trims, and dodads. It was delightful to see all snippets of vintage laces. I used bits and pieces of various sets, papers, and inks right back at her! The card base is Kiwi Kiss which has been stamped with Floral bg in Adirondack Lettuce ink. I used a Wild Asparagus double sided paper for the middle square and the scallop edge. The ink for the thank you and the floral sprig, the bird pin cushion, and the gingham ribbon (on the scallop) is TH di walnut stain. Most of those are also embossed in clear ep. I stamped the sentiment block in various shades of the challenge colors, rock and rollin' the different hues. The edges of the very vanilla are also sponged with those same colors. I added a tiny bit of trim stapled to the edge and silver the pins in the cushion with a Hybrid gel pen. I also parted with a metal frame as a charm for Julia's challenge!
Thanks so much for looking at my triple...keep on dreaming, wishing, hoping,imagining, inspiring, wishing, believing, being beautiful, joyful, and lovin'...there's magic in a positive attitude!

Beautifully done Susan! Great take on all 3 challenges. Your cards are little works of art which need time to digest as you always have so many components to be delighted over. TFS my friend!
