For Studio Calico stamp sale list go here.
More often than not, making cards just frustrates me. I struggle with the scale and am rarely happy with my end results. So no one was more surprised than me when I took on the five World Card Making challenges at Studio Calico. And I had a good time with the challenges - they really helped me focus on specific elements and put together some quick and easy cards. Here's what I came up with.
The first challenge was to use this mood board.

The second challenge was to incorporate an ombre element. I used some awesome pink and green ombre washi from Pinkfresh Studio and Amy Tangerine chipboard for this simple card.
The third challenge was to use your scraps. I used a couple paper scraps, the end of a piece of trim, some Freckled Fawn leaves and a few sequins for this quick thank you card.
The next challenge was to use five of something. I added five pieces of wood veneer from the Licorice add-on for this fun Halloween card. I loved adding aqua, a non-traditional color to the mix.
The last challenge was a sketch challenge. There were several choices, but I chose this one
for this quick card using a Glitz 6x6 card, a strip of washi from the Container Store, some wood veneer and a Fancy Pants tag.
These were so fun and easy I might just be inspired to make some more cards some day soon. Thanks for looking. I hope you have a marvelous Monday!
