Hi everyone!
I tend not to combine challenges and then, if I'm ever brilliant enough to do so it is usually a maximum of 2 different challenges. So you can imagine my surprise when I realized that I could combine 4 different challenges without my head exploding! LOL!
First up, the CAS-ual Fridays challenge was to make a baby card. Also, Use it Tuesday's challenge is also to make a baby card - in celebration of Heather's new arrival Clarie! As it just so happens, I need one!
Then I saw these lovely soft colours on the Play Date Cafe challenge ... that would work!
and finally over at Our Creative Corner the challenge is Over the Edge, which I love but rarely think to do....(and I see I am too late to link it up for the challenge ... sigh!)
In the end, it all came together with this card:
Featuring 2 of my own hand-created stamps. The background image is a new one - a starburst of sorts, and then my flower image - which I think can be used as a rose (see yesterday's card) or as a tulip as shown here. It also features my home-made template for the Sahara Sand (Stampin' Up!) panel across the front (looks way more kraft in the image but is a much softer sand colour in real life!).
Here is a close up of the dimension. Senitment if from Round and Round (Papertrey Ink anniversary stamp set).
This card was so much fun to make!!! Now I'm off to load it up and check out what all the other challenge go'ers made with these challenges.

I haven't stopped by here in quite awhile and that's a shame because I can see that I've been missing tons of cool stuff. LOVE all of your hand carved stamps! You are amazing.
This is a gorgeous card, Donelda. I am still in awe of this self-crafted flower stamp, by the way!
