Alana's 15th Birthday Card

This is for today's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 544 - Unite the Lefties where we were to focus and accent the left side of the cards. My layout is from Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 553. My color choices are from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 543 - No Gray days in Lucky Bermuda. The acetate on the left curvy panel is for Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 546 - Mind the Gap. I made this a little early as our oldest granddaughter will celebrate # 15 next Valentines day but I had to go with what came in my head. She LOVES monkeys and so I ran with that as my inspiration after finding the jungle dp hidden in my storage drawer. I did a computer generated sentiment in as close to the color as possible then punched it out with Marvy Oval and layered with Bermuda bay Marvy oval. I stamped the sentiment on the inside of the card and the left corner of the envelope in Bermuda bay. I hope you like it.
RECIPE:
Stamps: It's Your Birthday
Paper: white, bermuda bay, basic gray, DCWV - Safari Kids dp
Ink: Bermuda Bay
Accessories: Marvy oval punches, Dies-r-us Monkeys Techniques: floating card, gap card

In the gap Because I Care

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 553, Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 543 - No Gray Days in Lucky Bermuda, and Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 546 - Mind the Gap. I turned the sketch on it's side for today's to allow for the gap. I stamped the flower in black and colored with copics then cut it out and popped it up on the limeade panel after dry embossing with checkerboard EF. I also stamped the flower on the inside in basic gray after stamping off once then stamped the sentiment in Bermuda bay.
I stamped the small flower on the front of the envelope and on the back of the envelope the other image also in Bermuda bay. Hope you like it. Will show some love after I get home from work. Off I go.

Delight in Life even when it rains

 This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 543 - No Gray Days in Lucky Bermuda, Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 546 - Mind the Gap and Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 337 - Waves of Color. You know how when you see a challenge you know exactly what you want to make but can not find a stamp set that matches what is in your head??? GGGRR that was me this morning. I wanted the outside to be rainy and the inside cheerful reflecting that rough times will pass and the God's glory will shine again so I will have to just write what I want for the inside. I used spellbinders umbrella and impression obsessions clouds, sponged some basic gray on the sky and the clouds then Bermuda bay, so saffron on the inside for still some signs of cloudy skies but the sun shining and clearing up.
I used a fiskars tree line border punch on inside and out and for the top panel on the front I free handed the skyline. I stamped the sentiment in Bermuda bay on the front, inside and envelope. I hope you like it and I hope whomever I give this too is encouraged that God is still large and in charge and taking care of us.
Having computer issues with new upgrade of Windows 10 and can not load pics from home.  I will edit pictures once issue is resolved.
