Color Throwdown Challenge #53

For this week's color throwdown challenge of pink pirouette, bordering blue, and rose red. I used my cuttlebug folder inked with rose red ink on the folder to emboss onto the pink. The stamped image is colored with copics and small seed pearls are added for the flower centers.

Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #12

I was pleasantly surprised how well the new Razzleberry Lemonade paper looks with perfect plum. I used the set, God's beauty. I used certainly celery to stamp the leaves, and versafine black to stamp the butterfly. I colored the butterfly with copics and the leaves with a bleander pen dipped in cerainly celery ink. I did the blanket stitch with my plum ribbon. The bow is from some burgandy organdy ribbon. Combinig some primas I found in my stash added the finishing touch. You can find the MMSC here.

Mojo Monday #97

There's no better way to get your MOJO going than to check out the Mojo Monday challenge to start your week. I used my favorite Basic Grey paper. The card is chocolate chip cs and I used kiwi kiss and some pink out of my scrap box (probably pixie pink). The white pearls repeated the pattern of the white dots on the brads and I used the colors in the BG paper to stamp onto the white circle. The set is SU's Garden Greetings.

Copic challenge #8

This is a new set from Flourishes and I just love their Botanical sets because they are so fun to color. This was done with my copic markers: Y15,YG17.G28,W1, R29, R39, 0. I used a piece of retired dp from Stampin' Up and real red, certainly celery, and basic black cardstock. The image was stamped on white (PTI) with versafine black.

Color Throw Down #52

I don't use purple or plum very often, so glad this challenge forced my hand on this. The colors for this challenge are plum, chocolate chip, and certainly celery. I love this image from Penny Black that I colored with my copic markers. I cut a diagonal piece of the chocolate chip to divide up the background somewhat. The dots were done in chocolate chip with the polka dot bg stamp from Stampin' Up. All papers, ribbon, and ink pads are from Stampin' Up. The dew drops were added at the last minute.

This digital image from Digital Stamp Oasis makes me feel cooler just looking at it. We have been experiencing 3 digit numbers in our temperatures around here.You can download this image here. Go and check it out. I used my copic markers to color this and added gelly roll stardust on the snowman and on the snow. I used my snowflake embossing folder for the background and then I punched out some of the snowflakes and embellished them with rhinestones.
