Color/Sketch Challenge

Have you ever pictured something in your head, but when you tried to make a reality it turned out to be a dud?! Well, that's what happened to me with this card. I combined this week's sketch and color challenge. The colors were Real Red, Green Galore, and Night of Navy. I had something much cooler pictured in my head, not exactly the way this card turned out! But, I need a card for my nephew's birthday tomorrow (who lives in Georgia), so I've got to get this in the mail! Oh well, better luck next time.

This was a fun color and sketch challenge. I thought the card was missing something so I added the rhinestone brads. The camera didn't pick it up very well but the brads are orange, purple and green!

Time Well Spent

I combined the color and sketch challenges for this week. The color challenge was to use Blue Ballet, Apricot Appeal, and Real Red (I really liked this color combination!). I stamped the flower and butterfly on the blue cardstock using blue ink the camera didn't pick it up very well.

SCS Challenges

I combined the color and sketch challenges for this week from Split Coast Stampers. I really like the "Birthday Whimsy" stamp set from the Sale-a-bration catalog. To my club members - this stamp set will be featured at our February meeting !!


I thought the card was a little plain so I tried to dress it up a little by using iridescent embossing over the gifts. Unfortunately, the camera didn't pick that up very well!
