Take 4 challenges and ...

I dilly dally around sometimes so much that someone gets in first with my idea. I'd decided I was going to combine Color Throwdown's latest colour challenge with Freshly Made Sketch's sketch using my old SU! set Watercolor shapes for the circle shape but Christy bet me to it. So back to "thinking" of a plan B. In the end I decided I would just go for it and use a circle mask and ink the peach and sage inks and see what it looked like

Once that was done, I then decided I would use a new stamp set I received from Pretty Pink Posh recently in a Virtual class kit as it had a nice flower plus foliage, and then the next bits fell into place really easily as that set has a Hello Friend sentiment which covered Addicted to CAS's and CAS on Friday's latest challenges too - the first one wants Friends and the latter Hello. Now that's what I call working smarter not harder. I used my Gina K Master Layouts to get my nice squares all matted and stitched. The coloured mat is just the Sunkissed ink swiped all around the edge.

Supply List:

Stamps: Hummingbird Floral (PPP)

Ink: Sunkissed (PFS), Sage (PFS), Versafine Clair Nocturne

Paper: Very Vanilla (SU!)

Other: Master Layouts 3 (GKD), circle masking stencil (TE), blending brushes (TE), Leaf Glitter drops (PFS)

Challenges: ATC#253, CAS on Friday #378, CTD#783, FMS#626

Well actually just starting on the first 2 challenges stopped me dillying dallying and my card came together really quickly.

Thanks for popping in.

EDITED 12/3/24: Gosh my entry at The Color Throwdown was the "lucky number" to join this very talented pool of ladies for a future challenge. Not sure if I should be scared or excited but probably a mixture of the two.

EDITED 12/3/24: Gosh this design and colours are on a roll, over at Freshly Made Sketches my card is Kim's choice :) " I love Karen’s fresh take on the sketch. The colors are lovely on the half circles and the simple image and sentiment fit perfectly!"

EDITED 15/3/24: This wee card is a real winner it's also a favourite over at CAS on Friday's site.

EDITED 21/3/24: I can't believe it my card made the Top 3 at Addicted to CAS this is the first time I've entered multiple challenges and all of the challenges have seen the card as "worthy". Big kudos goes to Freshly Made Sketches for the sketch.
