World Card Making Day Challenge

WCMD Apples2.

In honor of World Card Making Day on Saturday, October 1st, we're kicking
things off one day early in a wild and wacky fashion! Have we got a challenge
for you! It's all about that inner kid and why we love card making in general -
we get to be creative! So, think like a kid and share your favorite animated
character. Find a picture of that character and then, be inspired by the colors
for one fun-filled color challenge! We'll take entries through next Thursday,
October 6th at 5PM EST. The winner of this challenge gets a fun-filled prize
pack with 5 Flourishes stamp sets of our choice. Once you're done with your
creation, simply link up on this post using our Inlinkz widget. If you upload to
Splitcoaststampers, please use the keyword FLLCWCMD11. Th-th-tha-that's all
folks!

As you can see I picked Minnie..  She is one of my favorite cartoon characters.  I thought that the Apple Of My Eye was the perfect set to use for my inspired card.  I used the MME Rosy paper for my colors on this card.  I wanted to use black, white, red and yellow.  I also chose the Spellbinders Teardrop Circles and Grand Nestibility Label 23 die.  The buttons are from the Rosy and Boyish Collection and ribbon from May Road.  I colored my image with the Flourishes Copics Collections Fuchia and Spring Greens.
Check out what the rest of the gang has for your inspiration:

    This is just beautiful Dawn! I love this set and with the black and white it's just stunning! Gorgeous coloring as always! Fun challenge but no time here I'm afraid. Leaving early Fri for 4 days in VA and with a viewing today and funeral tomorrow I'm afraid my creative time is very limited. Looking forward to coffee next week!
