Cloud9

Have you seen the new Cloud9 challenge?  My friend Suzanne started it because of her love for WPlus9.  This month's challenge is to use the sketch below on a card that uses WPlus9 stamps:


I have to be honest...this sketch stumped me- I was close to not even wanting to play along!

I was able to come with a card (after a miserable failed attempt), and here's the result:

If I had a third chance to go at it, I think I could have done even better!  I like the card, but I don't think I used the sketch very creatively.  Oh well!

Thanks for stopping by!

I like the card, but felt the same way about my card too, oh well, the person we send the cards to will think they're absolutely fabulous.

oh, I think you're being hard on yourself, I think it's pretty! I agree with Erin, this would be a very welcome card to recieve.

Don't be hard on yourself, Jen! Sometimes simple but pop of colours is all that is needed for a beautiful card. You card has all of that. I love it. Great take on the sketch. Thanks so much for joining us @ Cloud9

I can't believe you thought you had trouble with this sketch, you nailed it! What a pretty flower :)

Jen! I NEED you to help me with flowers some night. I buy them, then I don't use them, mostly because I am scared to color them, stamp them, etc. I see so many awesome cards using them, and this is definitely one! I love that sentiment too. Thank you so much for playing along!

BTW I died when I saw Virginia Lu's card for RIC. Nearly passed out! Hope your'e having a fun trip! Don't get stuck at border patrol because either me or Jess WILL pretend to be you tomorrow if they call your name.
