All in One!

Hello!

Day 4, Week 3 over at the Summer Card Camp class.  That means just one more day :(  Man oh man has this class been incredible!  If you are a beginner or a seasoned card maker, there is seriously something for everyone.  I learned so much during the last few weeks and each day came with so much inspiration and so many ah-ha moments!  It certainly got me to stretch myself from my regular style and I attempted some cards that I would have never otherwise made.

Today was challenge day!  And the challenge was to go outside the box - make a card in a style outside your comfort zone.  I felt okay with this challenge, since that is what I have been trying to do for the most of the class.  The colour palette alone this week is outside of my comfort zone!  I decided to use Sketch #2 as well, but took a few artistic liberties!  Since this is the first card I have made for class this week (dog ate my homework??!), I tried to use as many of the techniques and inspiration from the entire week that I could.

Here's the card:

I made this for my Mom's birthday coming up this week.  It does say Happy Birthday inside the card!  The purple did throw me for a bit of a loop at first, but I found a way to incorporate it in without being too over the top.  The Mom in light purple was stamped from a Lawn Fawn set, and the second, overlaid turquoise Mom was another one of my DYI's.  The I Love You is from one of my favourite sentiment sets from Avery Elle.  I have no idea who makes the patterned paper, but it is so pretty.  I got it in a class I took recently at a local store, and it was pre-cut.  It was actually a copic colouring class, and card assembly was optional.  I decided just to bring the pre-cut pieces home and use them on something else - and I thought it worked well with this card.

That's it for me today.  Hope you're having an awesome day!!
