challenge 5.  for this challenge we had to use a solid image to make a faux border.  I used a star to make the border.  I thought it looked like a banner so I grabbed a cupcake stamp and birthday wishes stamp.  This was a very fun challenge and I can’t wait to find more solid images to see what other borders can be created.  Images are Studio G, star is inkadinkado, inks are colorbox chalk.

challenge 4.  this was a color challenge asnd I love how this card turned out.  I made this for my husbands company.  We have been at the water park all day for the anual employee picnic.  We got home at 7:30, which is 8:30 when it comes to Papertrey Ink challenges.  I ran out of time to complete them all, but plan on still making cards for the ones I didn’t get too.  I encourage you to go over to Nichole’s blog and have a look.  They had some fun challenges today.  This is the thank you card I made for the company.

challenge 2.  we had to use hot pink and charcoal…which was a little out of my element as I don’t do a lot of pink.  The card looks better in person…lighting was difficult to get a good picture.  I didn’t have any charcoal grey paper so I cut down white cs and stamped it with my charcoal colorbox chalk ink pad.  The inside is stamped with “you brighten my day”.

challenge 3.  This challenge called for punching a window in your card and tying ribbon or twine from it.  I decided to run the cover through an embossing folder first, then punched the circle.  I traced the circle in pencil very lightly so I couls see where to stamp my image.
