THREE Challenges in One!!!

I saw today's Inspiration Challenge over on SCS and couldn't resist making something with it. I had plans to stamp only one card today, and I didn't even do the one I wanted because this challenge was irresistible!!! Here is the link to IC129. BUT, don't stop there, I also incorporated this weeks Sketch Challenge (SC177) which you can see here, and also the Limited Supplies Challenge (LSC169) which you can see here. Above are pictures first of the Inspiration Challenge photo I used and then of the sketch. I felt like there was a hint of a color similar to Blue Bayou in the material that's sitting directly on top of the brown checkered one. As for the Limited Supply Challenge, I'll just tell you that it was to NOT use hardware and instead to use a stamped image in its place. I LOVE this card, sorry, but I do!! :) I really enjoy using glitter in different ways, and this time I added it to some Crystal Effecs for a glossy, sparkly, shimmer.  If you know me, you know I LOVE glitter!!!   This card was very difficult to photograph but I think I did a decent job without a photo tent (on my wish-list!!!) of getting the little sprinkles of glitter to show through the shine of the CE.
