Here are 3 cards for 3 challenges.

The first card is for the Stampin’ Sisters in Christ Challenge #44.  The challenge was to “make a card with just words (a sentiment/verse).. no stamped images.”

The second card was for a Clean and Simple Challenge on Splitcoaststampers CAS72.  There was a sketch to follow.  After I finished it, though, it didn’t look all that “clean”; so it didn’t end up on Splitcoast.  I do have a hard time with those CAS challenges.  smileyscratchingheadani.gif

And finally the third card was for the weekly Sketch Challenge on Splitcoaststampers SC285.  But it was completed a little late for the party and was never uploaded at Splitcoast, either.smileyshakingheadani.gif

To emboss the punched corner piece, I first taped it to the embossing folder with removable double sided tape.  This prevented the small corner piece from shifting or moving during embossing.

The sweet little bird image was colored with Copics and then cut out and popped up for some added dimension.

All 3 cards use Inchies, Inchie+ or Twinchies.  I keep learning more about Inchies.  Lisa Lee has written a wonderful and helpful post on her blog all in an inch that helps one tell the difference between the front and back of an Inchie.  She also shows why it makes a difference.

It’s the weekend!  Hope everyone has a great one.smileyflowerani.gif

Happy Crafting!
