Last week Monday I issued a Challenge on how to complete the Wild Wheat In Color Gorgeous Garden Dies card I showcased, it is shown below for reference.  You might be saying it doesn’t look finished to me.  This is my challenge to you, “How would you like to see me finish this card?”   Send me your suggestions on how you would like to see this card finished and I’ll put your name into a drawing to receive a prize.

The winner of this challenge goes to Julie G.  Julie please email me with your snail mail address so I can send you your prize.

Let’s Take a Closer Look At Each Card:

So one of the suggestions I received was to make the card a Sympathy card.  So I dug through my stamp sets and thought that this sentiment from the Bold Bouquet stamp set would make a good Sympathy sentiment.  I just stamped some Basic White cardstock using the Wild Wheat In Color ink and then die cut it out with the Stylish Shapes dies and created a Wild Wheat matte piece using the same dies.  I popped this up on the card front and added a few of the In Color dots.

Another suggestion was to use the Meadow Dies and Vellum.  So I die cut the leaf image out of basic white cardstock and die cut the circle out of vellum using the Stylish Shapes dies.  The sentiment piece is also a die cut from the Meadow Dies.  These die cut pieces were popped up and then I added the In Color dots.

For the final card I combined a few of the same elements and added the circle sentiment to the vellum piece.  Again I added the In Color dots to finish off the card.

So what do you think?  Which of these variations is your favorite?  What would you change and what would you keep?  Did you enjoy playing along with my challenge?  Would you be up for more challenges?
