I am so very pleased to be guest designing for As You See It Challenge #341! I only hope they love my card as much as I loved making it! It is my pleasure to invite you all to play along with me! Here is their prompt or 'recipe challenge' as they call it...
Now don't be intimidated - I'm betting many of you already use many of these elements on your cards! For me, the biggest challenge of the five was to use ribbon!
Thank goodness I still have a little bit in my stash!
Okay - are you ready? Here's my card!
I joined Spellbinders' Small Die club last year just to buy ONE set -
but guess who forgot to cancel it? OY! This little set arrived before I
remembered and I can't say I don't love it after all!
Let's see if I ticked all five 'ingredients' in their recipe:
Celebration: it seems like a birthday card, right? But MAYBE it's a BIRTH/New Baby card? Either way, it's celebrating something!
Heat Embossing: Gold embossing for my celebratory sentiment!
Ribbon: a silk seam-binding ribbon from years ago from Verve!
Die cuts: That is where that Birthday Bliss DOM from Spellbinders came in handy!
Pastel Colors: Wait. Can kraft card be considered a pastel? I think so - it IS pastel brown!
Ta Daaaaa! I did it! and even managed to find a pastel gingham and embossed
it with a VERY old SU! embossing folder - let's see if any of the AYSI designers
notice the SU! Subtle Texture on the clouds, shall we?
Thank you to Heather Cooper who represented her team and sent me really great direction with their invitation, too! I can't wait to see how the team completed this fun 'recipe!' Let's go - but don't forget to play along!

Congratulations, my talented friend and what a lovely card you made checking all those boxes! This is an adorable celebration card for a baby or a little girl!
Congratulations !!! they are super lucky to have such a talented guest and what a fab card you made. Love the texture on the clouds and that gorgeous embossing on the pastel gingham and yes in my book Kraft is pastel brown.

Oh so cute! Congrats on your GD gig, especially with this gingham/ribbon/sloth inspired card! I have done the same thing with a Unity subscription...oops! Anyway, lucky you to have received this fun little guy to share with us!
This fun little fella was worth your oops! Your card is darling, Michele. I'm smitten with the polka dotty clouds on the gingham! Congrats on guesting, you ticked all of those boxes!
Sweet, sweet card. That sloth is adorable. And I have you beat, I was in a whole year before it finally dawned on me to cancel the SB clubs!
This sloth character just cracks me up! You did good with the challenge, Michele, and congratulations on your guest spot! I love all the cuteness and the texture, and I can definitely see this as a new baby card!
