I am so excited to have been able to particiapte in 2 challenges with this card. The first was a color challenge from Pals Paper Arts. This is a new challenge site and the ladies give all of their samples in Stampin Up only. I love this idea and I can't wait to see what they have in store forall of us. I haven't been using my Stampin Up stamps as much as I should, so I am totally out of sinc with it. My goal is to make SU only, but I couldn't wrap my brain around that for this challenge, so it is only SU colors LOL! I paired this with this sketch challenge from 2sketches4you Isn't that interesting. Here is my take on the two challenges I really like they way everything came together. I am playing around with a neat ribbon treatment I saw in the Stamp Up catalog. It was a widder ribbon that they tied off at different points to create this look. I used some of Izzy's rubberbands for her hair so that it would match. It didn't look quite like I had invisioned, but I am going to try it again with tighter ties to see if that is the tick.
I also did some major spounging on every layer. I have been watching all of Beate's videos and she talks about spounging all of the time. I never thought about using it on every layer, but the effect is fun. I also really like the stiching I think it tied in the ribbon as well.
This card is for my sister Dana. She finished a half marathon. That is 13.1 Miles!!!!! This will work so well for her and the colors suite her as well. It is hard for me to think of my baby sister as a grown woman, but she really is quite neat. I am so proud of her!

I love your WOW card, Terri! I really like the unusual ribbon treatment (hadn't noticed it in the new catalog...I'll have to go look again!) and like how you outlined your letters with your "stitching"! It really makes them pop! Thanks for participating in PPA's first challenge! Join us Thursday (the 6th) for PPA2!
