I'm looking forward to joining in on some card challenges this week. I have a list of 19 different challenge blogs that I frequent --- wow, that's a LOT!! --- never counted them before. :)
I look over the challenges throughout the week and then pick and choose the ones that interest me the most. If possible, I'll combine two or three different challenges with one card - that in itself, is another type of challenge for me. I was getting better at combining over the summer, but now that I've had a three-week break, it might take me a while to get back into the swing of things. :)
Today I'm starting off with the Paper Players challenge (#118 - Frames). I recently purchased the new Small Madison Arched Window die from Poppy Stamps. Love this window frame!
Back in the spring I held a workshop with some friends to show them how to create a scenic card with sponging. I demonstrated the technique to create a main panel and filed it away, hoping that I'd use it someday ... and today was the day! It's the sunset view through this gorgeous arched window. Hope you like.
