I needed a Thank You card and used inspiration from the current Inspiration Challenge and the Featured Stamper, but found five other challenges to spur my creative juices along, which also helps me in my personal catch-up challenges goal.
#3. SC713 - Sketch Challenge - 9/5/18. I do not do many sketch challenges, so I hope I did not take too many liberties! I switched the narrow and wide vertical panels. I move the fistail banner from the left to the right side and added two additional banners. Then, I added elements of a cluster of leaves and a button.
#4. WT703 - Ways to Use It Challenge, Would You Be-Leaf It? - 8/30/18. Use leaves on your card; try something different other than just stamping. I used die-cut leaves and embossed them with a woodgrain folder and added gold glitter.
#5. MMTPT527 - Teapot Tuesday, A Blast from the Past - 8/28/18. Use old supplies. My die, embossing folder, and patterned papers are from 2014 purchases.
#6. DD9ABC26Z - Alphabet Challenge, Round 9, Color Letter Z - 8/15/18. Color Letter Z = Zucchini green, Zinc Yellow, Zillabonguim--pale yellow, Zinnwaldite--light brown.
#7. USEIT2018 - Ongoing. Use old or new supplies that haven't been used at all or in a very long time and are gathering dust. My leaf dies, embossing folders, and even patterned papers have not been used in almost four years. My gold foil paper is new, and I just opened the package.
#8. F4A404 - Free for All Challenge, On Being Grateful. Create a thankful or grateful card.
