Three.. Three.. Three Challenges in One

Yep, you read right. I combined 3 challenges into 1 card. It was really easy to do. I started with the sketch from All That Scraps. I then used the colors from k werner design and when I chose my patterned paper I chose one that had stripes for the Splitcoast’s Ways To Use It stripe challenge.

Sometimes when I do a color challenge I pull out my catalog and look through at the stamps I have and many times the set to use just seems to jump off the page at me. Since I have been doing a lot of flower cards lately and wanted to do something different I flipped through my catalog to see what would grab me. When I thought about the colors More Mustard, Really Rust, Kiwi Kiss, and white from the color challenge they just seemed to fit with my Wanted set.

I wanted to add some color to the background so I pulled my Boho Backgrounds out and stamped it using Really Rust. For the zig zag piece it seemed to get lost on the page so I decided to sponge on some Kiwi Kiss and stamp the little star medallion across the top. It helped to highlight this element. I used the Rock-n-Roll method on the horse so it would show up better on the white. The rest seemed to fall into place. Here is the sketch and my creation.
