VSN Challenges D, E & F

This is my next post for this weekend's VSN Challenges - I did 14 out of the 15 so will be doing lots of posts to get them all uploaded on here!

Challenge D was to create a card or project that using something that you would find in the sky. I combined this challenge with Taylored Expressions Sketch #154 and Color Throwdown's Challenge #182 to use these colours:

And here's my card for this challenge. Thought I would do a more masculine card with these colours for something different. I didn't have any buttons in Riding Hood Red so I made my own using 3 layers of cut cardstock and some 3D gloss on the top - they almost look like real buttons, don't they?!

Challenge E was to make a sympathy card. I really dislike making these types of cards (who doesn't!), but I tried to keep it simple and combined it with Play Date Café's Challenge #122 to use these colours:

And here it is. I couldn't quite decide if the first colour was black or dark grey, but as I only really have one grey and it's dark I went with black! The ink looks so much more smudgy in the photo than it does in real life - no idea why the photo makes it looks so bad. It's much more blended than this. I didn't want to use So Saffron cardstock as I wanted a paler colour so inked up a bit of Confetti White after stamping the flowers and sentiment.

Challenge F was to build a card for your favourite spring birthday girl! I combined this one with Waltzing Mouse's Sketch Challenge #88. I think these colours are girly enough and I have doilies, glitter, ribbon and flower shaped buttons so should be enough, don't you think?!
