Baby Blue or Pretty Pink Card Challenge

Hello card crafters! It's time for another fun card challenge and this time it's another color challenge. We are looking for cards that are either Baby Blue OR Pretty Pink.  You choose one or the other and create a card that is mostly Baby Blue or mostly Pretty Pink.  Easy Peasy. Your card can be a baby card if you wish, but that is not necessary.  So let's get to crafting and make a card or two or three for this challenge!

First, a bit of design team news.  This will be Marilyn's last challenge with us as a designer. Sadly, after many years of being on our design team, we must say goodbye to Marilyn.  She needs a break from the challenge obligations to pursue other interests and while we understand we will certainly miss her! Marilyn was one of the ORIGINAL designers for Cards in Envy from way back when we first started with Denise as the co-host of the blog/challenge. We'll always keep a place open for Marilyn if she decides to come back and hope she'll be able to join a challenge now and then as a participant! Wish her a fond adieu.  We love you Marilyn and hope to see you around!!

Now, for some Baby Blue and Pretty Pink card inspiration for you from our designers.  We have a lovely assortment for you.  Please click on each designer's blog name for more details about their card creation and leave them some comment love if you do stop by their blog.

We'd love to see your Baby Blue OR Pretty Pink cards. Please read over our challenge requirements and then share your card in the linky at the end of this post. 

Here are a few reminders about our challenge requirements:

• No lumpy, bumpy cards.  Elements on your card need to be relatively flat (no thicker than 1/4") so your card would fit in an envy (envelope) for mailing
• Limit entries to 3 per challenge.
• No Back Linking--cards must be posted to your blog or an online album during the challenge dates. If it was posted online BEFORE the beginning of our challenge, it cannot be linked.
• Entry must be for the current theme.
• Cards Only--NO TAGS

Additional rules can be found under the Challenge Guidelines tab at the top under our blog header.

Our Designers will be voting on the cards after the challenge ends and the winners will be announced by Wednesday morning  following the close of the challenge.. We will have one FIRST CLASS which is the card that receives the most votes from the Designers and considered the best overall card for the theme.  The Designers will also pick one card as their personal favorite for an IN THE MAILBOX badge. That means we may have up to 10 In the Mailbox cards for a challenge.  We decided to go with this fun method as each Designer has their own unique style and preference.  Each chosen may grab one of our fun badges for their blog! The badges for the challenge will be in the winners post following the close of the challenge after all the Designer votes are in.  The winners will also be announced on our Facebook Page, so come Like us so you'll know quickly if you are a winner. 

THIS IS A CARDS ONLY CHALLENGE--NO TAGS.  Entries not following our rules and not for the current challenge theme will be deleted without notice or comment. We accept any size/shape of card BUT all cards must be flat enough to fit in an envy for mailing (no thicker than 1/4") which means no lumpy, bumpy embellishments. Challenge ends Sunday, August 6, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. Central Daylight Savings Time. 

Leave a comment and link your Baby Blue OR Pretty Pink card in the linky below. We prefer that your card be showcased on your blog and linked to our challenge blog post.  If you do not have a blog, you may link your Instagram post of a photo of your card.  Videos are not allowed.  Thank you for sharing your card that is flat enough to mail in an envelope with us at Cards in Envy!  

Please use your FIRST name and LAST INITIAL for your inlinkz entry name.  IMPORTANT! Please use your REAL name and NOT your blog name as your entry name.
