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.

Wow Robbie, your cards are just beautiful. And I love the way you do the inside of the cards.
