Two-Fer Challenge Card

Well, this was going to be a 3-fer challenge. I was going to combine the AWESOME Play Date Cafe color challenge:

with this week's Hambo Hoedown challenge (I need to get back on that wagon), and I needed a sketch to get me started, so I chose this one from Cardabilities:

Then, as is my nature, I was so proud of myself for remembering to use a Hambo image that I forgot to check on the specifics of the challenge - CORNERS. Once you see my card, you'll know why I've FAILED:

Duuuude. Do you see any fancy corner focus here?! Do you even see any chance of a save!? No, no you do not. HOWEVER, I think I might have knocked 2 of these out of the park, eh? Sketch -- check. Colors = Black + White + a splash of Teal -- check.

In case you're wondering, the cow does not have the pox. That was my attempt to give him freckles. Pffth.

Details: Cow image - Hambo Stamps; Circle Nestabilities; MFT doily die; Basic Grey little black dress paper (first time I've used it!); SU scallop punch; SU Taken with Teal card stock; EK Success leaf punch; SU Itty Bitty Shapes punch (small flower); misc bling; Paper Smooches sentiment; Copic markers.

Guess I'll go back in and try that Hambo challenge again, and this time I'll remember CORNERS!

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. I like his little freckled nose, my kitty has one of those. Can you just round the corners of the card or does it need to be fancier than that?
