For today's Free for All challenge, to use the most RECENT thing you purchased that you have NOT used yet. I purchased this sweet lamb rubber stamp from Repeat Impressions recently, wanting to have it on hand to use for an SCS friend who loves sheep. I figured I wouldn't ink it up for a while (her birthday just passed), but her first granddaughter (third grandchild) was just born a few days ago and I wanted to send a card to congratulate her! This challenge was timed perfectly.
I was also able to use the colors for the 100th Color Throwdown Challenge: regal rose, certainly celery, real red, and baja breeze. The sketch is for the current Limelights Papercrafts challenge, and I turned this into an aperture card for the Stamptacular Sunday challenge.
***I just realized that with the Limelight challenge, there was supposed to be background stamping, too. I had made a note of this, but somehow forgot while I was planning out my card!! I'm sure it had *nothing* to do with the fact that I was stamping with my kids . . . distractions abound. So sorry, Mandy!! Maybe the stamping I did inside the card for my aperture can be considered "background stamping" for this challenge . . .

How utterly adorable Emily! The little lamb is so precious! Your button and ribbon treatments are really fun and make this card outstanding. Thanks for joining us at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge this week.

Emzi, what a very, very thoughtful thing to do for our prez!! Benzi WILL FALL IN LOVE with this. That sheep is so cute and I love your ribbon threading and buttons. Guess Benz will feel bad when she receives your card and leaves Da Diz waiting by her mailbox for how long now????? You did an incredible job and I know Benz will be THRILLED!! TFS!
