1 card, 5 challenges

I've been sick this week, with a cold and a gastro bug at the same time - ugh.  I'm really tired because I haven't eaten much for 3 days, but I still wanted to participate in some card challenges before I go back to work at the Uni this week (and a lot of my free time will disappear to marking).  I managed to get 5 challenges done in one card - nothing like multitasking! :)

I used Hero Arts "Lattice" (white embossed) on the background and Hero Arts "Envelope Pattern" stamped in HA Soft Pink Shadow Ink on the panels, then rounded the corners with my We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper before attaching with dimensional adhesive. The sentiment is from a HA Clear set, "All Occasion", which I stamped in Memento "Tuxedo Black" Ink.
For the flower, I punched a circle from cardstock and put sticky strip around the edge to attach the pleated ribbon from Stampin' Up, then attached a SU Antique Brad in the middle.  I punched the leaves from the edge of a circle of SU Wild Wasabi cardstock, and stamped them with the Envelope Pattern background stamp as well. 
I'll be submitting this to CASual Fridays "Wallpaper",  CASology "Circle", A Blog Named Hero "Just Make Your Own", CAS(E) this Sketch #17, and Simon Says Stamp Challenge - "Anything Goes!"



I'm hoping to be feeling much better in a couple of weeks - looking forward to taking part in a new Online Card Class - Pattern Play - I have more patterned paper than I can cope with, so I'm looking forward to making a dent in the stash! :)

    Holy cow, woman! Five challenges! I bow before you! And I get to comment on 3 (actually, you missed the Muse challenge, which is what I originally thought this was - make it 6!! and now I only get to comment on two - CASology and CTS) This is a beautiful card - I love how you've incorporated so much texture but kept it CAS! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CASology and CTS (and it's a great take on the Muse, if you're interested in linking up there, too! lol!)

      That's funny - I saw the Muse challenge, but just didn't see it in my card! (maybe because I'm sick - I'm exhausted and my brain is being quite literal, hence the very faithful take on the CTS sketch!). Unfortunately, I missed the Muse submission deadline :( but thanks for the suggestion :)
