Stampin' Chez Moi

I needed a birthday card for my brother's 50th birthday and I love playing along with challenges which also gives me a starting point! So a hunting we did go!...and here are the two challenges that worked SO well for me ~ thanks so much for the inspiration and a great place to begin! The first challenge I found was the Friday Mashup ~ and their challenge was any past challenge which was great, so here is where I began! Perfect for a Manly birthday card for my brother!!! Now, can I find a color challenge that I like to go along with the idea that was brewing in my mind...and here is what I found at the PPA154  ~  my attempt was to use the Raspberry Ripple and Calypso Coral to give my truck an old rusty feel, I'm pleased with the outcome! I haven't used my blender pens in quite awhile and really enjoyed playing with them! Dave, I hope you like your card ~ I sure do!!!

So last week I went to enter a challenge and realized that I was one day late ~ not sure if that happens in your world, but it is definitely a reality in mine. So when I saw the color challenge at Stacey's blog,  Curtain Call Act 7 1 & the  OCC Challenge is Distress to De-Stress, I was bound and determined to pay close attention! So with one day to spare, I'm ready to go  ~ here are the color's that Stacey was asking for ~ and the challenge at OCC was to de-stress your creation along with a sketch to follow ~  ~ and here is my card ~ Still not sure how I feel about what I created, but decided to post it anyway! Here's a little side shot And the inside of my card! Thank you so much for stopping by today ~ hope you're having a great day!
