10 Minute Challenge and Workshop cards

Good morning Ladies! I hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day weekend.

I have 3 cards for you today. The first is for Carole’Ann’s and Sandi’s 10 minute challenge. This week was a sketch challenge.

Since I needed another card for my workshop this week I decided to use their sketch and challenge to make my card. I was inspired by this card at Sarah’s Stetler Arts blog. I had used a similar idea to make my ATC card I shared last week and wanted to do a larger version. I needed a way to make the background and turned to my Stampin’ Up family at Late Night Stampers for some help. They suggested I use the baby wipe and reinker technique seen in this video. I loved this technique and it was fun to do. I think I may have to use this idea again. I didn’t make the 10 minutes as it took me 15. Here is what I came up with and anyone who comes to my workshop this week will make.

Another card we will make was also inspired by another one of my ATC”s. Do you remember the cow one? The ATC was inspired by Elaine’s card. I also saw a tutorial by Lynn Pratt and thought it would be fun to combine the 2 ideas. Here is what I created.

Isn’t it just too cute! I know the ladies will enjoy making this one also. So now I need 1 more card. Since I just got the new July Fourth set in the Summer mini I decided I need to use it as my next workshop will be after July 4th. I checked out some cards on the Stampin’ Up demo website and found 2 ideas that I liked and combined them. I used Kerin Sylvester’s and Nikki Bond’s cards to come up with this one.
