Summertime Birthday Blues!

Splitcoasterstampers is hosting their Virtual Stamp Night at the end of June, but traditionally, they kick off the event with three to four mini challenges about a month prior to the official two-day challenge event just to get you in the mood.  The idea is to make a card that fits the challenge requirements in one hour or less.  Planning your card, making a sketch and gathering tools and papers to not count against your time.  You may have cardbases, mat layers, patterned papers pre-cut, and even some homemade watercolored papers prepared.  You really don't know what the challenges will be, so you may or may not be able to use some of your pre-prepared stash items.  Once you begin cutting, stamping, and die-cutting your timer should be set for your one-hour countdown.


This summer's Virtual Stamp Night is called Summer Playlist, which is all about summer and your favorite music.  It starts on Friday, June 26 from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m., ET and resumes on Saturday,  June 27 from Noon to 9:00 p.m., ET.  The mini challenge was on May 29 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET with four challanges.


The first challenge at 5:00 p.m. is Summertime Blues...make a card using at least two shades of blue, but you may add other colors as well.  I am saving this card for my friend's birthday next February, as her favorite color is blue.  Below is my finished card:
