The Challenge 40-You're a Lifesaver

*** Scroll down to the post below or click HERE to see my card for this week's Mojo Monday sketch! *** 


The Challenge is back again with a new challenge!  This week we've got a theme challenge for you. Our nautical theme is perfect for summer card designs!

You're a Lifesaver card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from The Cat's Pajamas
I combined the challenge's nautical theme with the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches to make this whimsical thank you card.  The big eared bunny image is from The Cat's Pajamas. I colored him up with Copic markers, then carefully cut him out.  He's tucked in between the dotted aqua sky background and a wavy stitched border die cut that's serving as water.  To fill out the scene, I added a pair of stitched clouds and a cheery yellow scalloped circle sun.  The "you're a lifesaver" sentiment was stamped just beneath the clouds.  I edged the scene with red cardstock, then adhered it to a white card base.

Don't miss what the rest of The Challenge team and our talented guest designers have created for this week's inspiration challenge. Here's where to find them:

Nance Salkeld
Karolyn Loncon, June featured designer 
Hayley Kew, guest designer 

After this week's challenge, The Challenge will be taking a summer break.  Hope you'll join us again when we return in September!
