4 new cards using all kinds of challenges...

I'm trying to follow challenges from different stamp companies, and from SCS - I decided to make some different thank you cards this time. I'm trying to do the challenges to help things stay fresh - it's out of my comfort zone, for sure! Loving some free time for my vice, I mean hobby! LOL!

 This was a layout challenge, and ink masking technique challenge. Way out of my comfort zone, and that's why I wanted to try it!

 This card goes with a storyline of Tuesday Teapot challenges, and had to include 3 daisies and a bee. I LOVE the cute frog image.

 This card follows a different layout challenge, as well as a color challenge. I didn't have all of the right colors, but I love the layout and final product!

The Hambo Hoedown challenge I had to follow for this one was to incorporate a Hambo stamp, and have a gatefold type card (one that opens our like a swinging door.) Thanks to my girl, Bev, otherwise known as Beestamper (the lovely and talented!!) for letting me  borrow your stamps for this one. I hope I did it justice!
