Happy Sunday Friends! Today is a special CR84FN post, as the Design Team is wishing our fellow member, Lisa Somerville, a Very Happy Birthday!
We’ve all created cards to wish Lisa a happy day, using this week’s challenge colours:
And here is my card:
The grey really had me stuck for this one! But I loved the shades of blue, so I concentrated on those.
While trying to figure out what I wanted to do with this card, I came across Chupa’s new sketch challenge. I am a day late for her deadline, but I still wanted to play along! She will post a new sketch each Saturday – so yesterday brought a new challenge… the below sketch is from last week!
Now head on over to the CR84FN blog to try out this week’s challenge for yourself, and see the other design team’s birthday creations for Lisa! You can leave them all a little love on their blogs by clicking on the links in my sidebar… don’t forget to wish Lisa a happy birthday!


Paper: PTI Kraft, Ocean Tides, grey from stash
