Ooooooh, A Double Header

I love it when I can figure out how to combine a challenge with one that I missed. Well, today's colors for the Color Challenge (Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy, and Kraft) were great and I was able to come up with a card for tomorrow's Sketch Challenge using these three colors. I also got to ink up my NEW stamp set from Flourishes - Whooo Whooo! The flower is colored with Baja Breeze ink and an aquapainter!

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Thank You (Flourishes)
Ink: Black Stazon, River Rock
Cardstock: Kraft, Not Quite Navy
Other Supplies: Big Shot, Textile Texture Embossing Folder, Punch, Buttons, Dimensionals, Paper Piercing Tool

Thinking Pink!

SplitCoast Stampers, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, is having a "pink week" and encouraging stampers to use pink in their challenge cards. Well, I'm LOVING pink and brown together and was actually pretty happy with how this turned out.

This card was made for the Color Challenge this week, using Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip, and Kiwi Kiss. I usually really struggle with the color challenges, but how could a person go wrong with this one!

Stamps: Stampin' UP! En Francais, Bloomin' Beautiful, and Linen

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Black Stazon

Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Ribbon, Dimensionals, SU Re-Inkers, Aquapainter, Brads

Mostly Krafty

Tuesday's Color Challenge was to create a card using Orchid Opulence, Sage Shadow, and Kraft. Let's just say that Orchid Opulence is not a color I EVER reach for when making a card, so I wanted to use just a touch of it. I really like the look of plain layers and embossed layers of the same cardstock. Although this is a very simple card, I like that there is just a little bit of elegance, too.

Supplies used:

Stamps: Infinite Goodness

Ink: Basic Black

Cardstock: Kraft, Sage Shadow

Other Supplies: Cuttlebug, Textile Texture Embossing Folder, Ribbon, Foam Dots, SU Markers

Dare To Be Fabulous

This card was made for the Color Challenge, which was to make a card using Basic Black, Basic Gray, and Purely Pomegranate. I really like this - it looks much better in real life. It has very crisp lines and is actually quite striking.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Fabulous Flowers, Give Thanks
Cardstock: Purely Pomegranate, Basic Black, Basic Gray
Ink: Basic Black, Purely Pomegranate, Basic Gray
Other Supplies: Aquapainter, Ribbon, Brads, Punches, Paper Piercing Tool
