First card up for today is the Diva Coffee Break Designs Colour Challenge #214.

 

There are quite a few challenges out there this week related to Valentines and to me, that’s what these colours are calling for.

I had a different stamp set and idea in mind when I first started out to make this card, but it just wasn’t working so I ended up picking up my ‘I Heart Hearts’ stamp set and created this very simple card.

 

Supplies:
Stamp sets: I Heart Hearts, Well Scripted (Summer Mini)
Card: Basic Gray, Pink Pirouette, Real Red, Whisper White, Subtles Patterns Stack – Pink Pirouette
Ink: Versamark, Real Red
Accessories: Corner Rounder Punch.

 

Till next time…..

I’m back with another card to share with you all, making it 3 posts today. Gotta love this rainy weather for something….lol

This time I’ve used the Utah Divas International Colour Challenge #22.

I found these colours a real challenge to use together and am not sure if I like this card yet or not. Maybe you could leave a comment and let me know what you think and/or offer suggestions?

I decided I’d use the Lovely As A Tree stamp set and do some ‘thumping’ using More Mustard and Tangerine Tango on the leaves for the Oak tree image.

Here’s my end result.

 

I’ve only used a little of the Tangerine Tango on the tree which you may not even be able to see in the image. I’ve also used Tangerine Tango on part of the sentiment. I found the Tangerine Tango to be a bit bright and a little out of place with the other ‘earthy’ colours.

 

Supplies:
Stamp sets: Lovely As A Tree, Upsy Daisy, Wonderfully Worn
Card: Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Very Vanilla
Ink: More Mustard inkpad, Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango & More Mustard Stampin’ Write Markers
Accessories: Hemp Twine.

 

Till next time…..

Over on Cards & Things Challenges this week we have been given a gorgeous colour combination to play with for Colour Challenge #65.

I haven’t played a lot with Concord Crush as yet, but I do love Pear Pizzazz and Bashful Blue is always nice.

Now I wanted to try and use a stamp set I either hadn’t used yet or not very often and decided upon one of the Level 2 Hostess sets – Apple Blossom. Previously I’d only used one stamp from this set on the desktop calendar I made for my last Secret Sister in my Stampin’ Up in Oz group.  I’ve also used another stamp set that I hadn’t used as yet and that is Hodgepodge Happiness, which of course I’ve teamed with some Styled Silver Hodgepodge which I haven’t used any of in quite a while.

Supplies:
Stamp sets: Apple Blossom (Hostess), Hodgepodge Happiness (Summer Mini)
Card: Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, Subtles Pattern Stack – Bashful Blue
Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Bashful Blue, Concord Crush
Accessories: Styled Silver Hodgepodge, Basic Jewels – Rhinestones, Small Oval Punch, Concord Crush 1/2” Stitched-Poly Ribbon
