Combined Challenges...

This has been such a hard week for me. My son (21 months) has the flu and yes the doctors are saying it is H1N1. I have been house bound since Monday and the only time I see daylight is when I look out the window. It has been tough and I need a break!! Since that break isn't coming anytime soon it is nice to know that I can combine challenges. I am able to take a moment, make a card, and have a feeling of accomplishment. I have combined 3 challenges in this one card, and I have to say thank you to these blogs for allowing this.
The most challenging part for me is trying to create something even though my supplies are lacking. I had all the paper and even some fibers for the color part of the challenge, but not much else. The stamp is from a set I bought a couple of weeks ago. I know I used one of the faces in my last challenge but it seemed that the faces would once again work here. I must say you will most likely see many of the same things until I can build up my supply.
Okay so the challenges I am participating in with this card are MMSC24 (card sketch), Play Date Cafe (color scheme) and finally Creative Inspirations Challenge Blog #19 (number).
When I started out making this card I had the first two blog challenges in mind, but then I remembered my sisters birthday and thought about Creative Inspirations challenge.
Well I don't have much more time, my son is crawling all over me but I hope you enjoy my new card. I am loving these challenges because I don't have to start from a blank slate and at times that works just fine...

It's All In The Attitude!! MMSC#23


I am still new at sketch challenges, in fact this is only my second attempt. I am thinking I may have missed the deadline, but I still had a fun time making this card. This card is for the MMSC #23. It takes me a few attempts to figure out exactly what I am going to make. This is very challenging for me since I am still building my supply and it is lacking quite a bit. For this card I used some old tulle I had around from my making tutu days. I used a 1920's stamp. The patterned paper is from a kit I bought on clearance (like 4 years ago). I only had white flowers that I bought from Walmart a long time ago, so I inked them with black ink and then sprayed them with glimmer mist. The stamps on the tickets, and the side is from a Close to my heart set. I used my Cricut Expression to cut the ovals (In my Kitchen) and Fabulous Finds for the tickets. You might not be able to see but the paper that the "IT'S ALL IN THE ATTITUDE" is stamped on is pictures of Theater tickets..
I am pretty exited about how this card turned and I am going to try the MMSC # 24 .
