Hope You Can Cling To

Today is the first day of the Hope You Can Cling To.This is a full month of challenges over at Splitcoaststampers.  The first three challenges are up. Here is what I made for the Courage and Strength Challenge.

I used the Wild at Heart from Gina K. Designs, Pure Luxury White cardstock and Faded Brick, ink and cardstock.

Next I did the Inner Strength Challenge

For this card I used the Blissful Butterflies and coordinating Dienamics from MFT. The cardstock is Pure Luxury White and Passionate Pink, The ink is Gina K Black Onyx and the ribbon is Passionate Pink double stitched from GKD.

The final challenge for today is Flat is Fabulous

This card had to be CAS, no more than 2 layers and no bling. I used GKD stamp sets Lots of Dots and Stamp it Big. To add the sentiment I die cut the layer and replaced a piece with a blank and stamped the sentiment on it . Inks used are GKD Wild Lilac, Bubblegum Pink and Turquoise Sea. Cardstocks are GKD Pure Luxury Wild Lilac and White.
