Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 

Here'a a refresher.
Create a project using the sketch below:

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Crystal Komara takes us to heart of London with this fabulous card!  Repeatedly stamping the I [heart] London sentiment from the Newton Dreams of London stamp set, she creates her bottom layer and then adds the plaid pattern paper. Using the Circle Frames die set, she creates her shaker element with the London cityscape in the background. She adds the Mary Poppins kitten from the Newton Dreams of London stamp and die set floating down into the city.  

 Debbie Owens gives us a more rural scene with her farm-inspired card. Beginning with her red wood grain background using the Hardwood stencil, she cuts it with the postage-edge die from the Framework die set. She adds green grass with the Land Borders die set. She uses bales of hay to create her center panel of the sketch. She adds a cow from the Moo stamp set heading back home  to her barn which Debbie places on circles die cut from the Circle Frames die set.  A "moo-velous" way to celebrate a birthday!

Diane Morales creates a tranquil scene using soft pastels.  Beginning with the Frames & Flags die set, she creates her scallop-edged card base. Over her blue sky and green yard, Diane adds a white-picket fence using the Fence die. She adds her kitten playing with butterflies from the Newton's Flower Garden stamp and die set and adds a splattering of colorful flowers.  Just darling!

Sue T.   designs her card in shades of yellow and it couldn't be any cuter!  Repeatedly stamping a lemon wedge from the Lemon Twist stamp set, Sue creates a fabulous background that coordinates with all the other elements. She adds a yellow-polka dotted panel on which she adds her circular panel.  Look closely and you'll see light yellow hearts setting a lovely scene for the romantic kitty couple from the Newton's Sweetheart stamp and die set. Just love it!

 Becky Noelle is back with her amazing fussy cutting skills.  This time she fussy cuts around the circle of flowers from the Floral Roundabout stamp set and colors her flowers beautifully. Her embossed hardwood background with splatters adds texture to her card as does the stitching on her strip of pattern paper. A wonderful way to say hello!

Crystal Komara's card with it's lovely orange sun will have you reaching for your surfboard and heading to the coast!  Look at Newton from the Newton's Perfect Wave stamp and die set catching a big wave!  Underneath those waves, you find some surprises from the Scuba Newton stamp and die set!  Fun!

Using the little images from the Cozy Campers stamp set, Debbie Owens creates her own pattern paper in fun summer colors. After die cutting her background using the Framework die set, she adds a teal strip, and a pink scallop-edge circle ( Circle Frames die set ). She stamps the little camper from the Cozy Campers stamp set and shades in orange and teal.  Her final touch is placing a mini flamingo in front of her camper and adding some orange twine!

Diane Morales' card is just filled with gorgeous butterflies!  In lovely shades of lavenders, Diane distresses the background butterflies using the Butterflies stencil set. She creates the middle banner by using the Land Borders die set. What a creative way to extend your dies!  She cuts her circular white panel using the Circle Frames die set and adds those breathtaking blue butterflies from the Monarchs stamp and die set!  Amazing!

Sue T.  creates a romantic mood by using the Bokeh Hearts stencil  in shades of pink. She adds the French kitties from the Newton Dreams of Paris stamp set and cuts them using the coordinating die set.  Adding the hot air balloons and the diagonal striped paper provide the perfect accents!  Oh la la is right!

Ready for some more surfing?  Becky Noelle sets her beach scene  using the Sunscape stencil. Don't you love how her sun and waves have such beautiful gradient coloring?  She distresses a big wave on her center panel die cut using the Circle Frames die set. And for her final touch, she adds her surfing Newton from the Newton's Perfect Wave stamp and die set on a wobbler! How purr-fect is that?

Becky Noelle's kaleidoscope of butterflies from the Monarchs stamp set can be seen fluttering around a blue arbor. She adds green grass using the Land Borders die set, which is zigzagged at the bottom.  The light spattering of blue in the background adds a fabulous touch!

She adds several sunflower sprigs from the Sunflower Days stamp and die set and shades them in the colors of the challenge.  The overall effect is pure sunshine!

 

Using the Waves stencil, Debbie Owens creates a subtle turquoise background for her lovely sprig of lilies from the Easter Lily stamp set.

Diane Morales is back with another fabulous tag!  Her tag begins with dark yellow stars on a yellow card stock using the Cascading Stars stencil. She die cuts using the Fancy Edges Tag die set. By using the Newton's Birthday Trio stamp and die set, she makes the tag into a fun, festive birthday treasure! Love how she uses the challenge colors for the speech bubbles!
