Challenge: Help you sisters who are battle the BIG C by making a card for them that helps spread the message of "we're all here for you" "together we will beat this" by using a MASKING TECHNIQUE to bring a group of people (or animals) together as the MAIN feature of your card.
I had a few stamp sets I could have used for this challenge. The sentiment on the Owls was perfect! I added the ribbon at the last minute. I was trying to make a cute bow, but that didn't work out well. So, instead I made a ribbon symbol using the black ribbon. Now that I'm thinking about it, I should have used a pink ribbon. Oh well, looks cute with the black.

HYCCT1527 - HERO - You are My Superhero
Challenge: make a card with a superhero theme. Use a superhero image...or a WHAM! or POW! or ZAP! or SHAZAM!
I have absolutely no superhero stamps. Back to the googling I go. I found a couple of super hero logos that I could use. I copied them over and printed on paper. I wasn't sure of I wanted to incorporate my findings. Some times its good to let things sit as ideas may come to you. It certainly did for this one. I remembered I had a t-shirt stamps set and die. I was able to use the die for my card. Not too bad!

HYCCT1527 - BONUS - Create a Cure!
Challenge: create a stunning background for your card using the salting technique with watercolors or ink.
I used Tim Holtz distress ink (barn door) and the wrinkle free distress technigue. I do not have re-inkers or watercolor paper so had to come up with a different method and used regular cardstock. I also used regular table salt to "cure". It wasn't as prominent as I had hoped it would be.
