MOJO Monday 103

It's Mojo Monday and it's challenge 103!! I used one of my favorite Verve sets on today's challenge. I used pieces of Basic Grey from the lemonade pack. I also used a hoarded piece of soft sky from SU. It's too bad they retired that fabulous color. I never have understood why SU doesn't just expand their color line to 100 colors. What is so unique about the 48??Introduce the new "in" colors, and then just add them to the collection. Any artist loves a full palet of colors to work with, I think, but then that's just my opinion and I haven't made much money with my opinion yet!! LOL

Feel of Fall Challenge

This is a great sketch that is over on the Flourishes newsletter blog. I'm so looking forward to their new release. Now that I am leaving SU, I will have the freedom to use and share some of my favorite stamps! It is so fun to color something that is so beautifully drawn. I don't use this shade of green very often, but it went with the Basic Grey paper so well that it worked.

Stamp Simply Challenge #103

Stamping over an image with the sentiment is one of my favorite things to do. I especially like doing it with scriptures. I think they are the beautiful words of life that we need to have before us everyday. I keep all my scriptures in one basket all together so that I can quickly grab one and stamp it onto many of the cards I make. Congratulations, Charlene Merrick, for getting to be the September Guest designer for the Stamp Simply challenge and picking this as the technique to use.

Copic Colour challenge 29

I love checking out the Copic Colour challenge every week, but this week I did not have any of the colors they used but here are the closest I did have: YG95, E09, YR21. The stamp is from Penny Black. The card base is close to cocoa. The dp was a piece of plaid from my scrap box. Used white dew drops as embellishment.

Color Throwdown 58

This card was made for the color throwdown challenge this week with the colors being chocolate chip, always artichoke, and regal rose. I used two different border punches and added dew drops as well. I wove the ribbon to hold the two pieces of chocolate chip cardstock together as a card. I used always artichoke and regal rose markers to color onto the rubber stamp. This set is from Stampin' Up as is the papers and ribbons.

Featuring two of Stampin' Up's new in colors: melon mambo and crushed curry! This is for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #31

This shell set from Flourishes is a great set to use for paper piecing, which is how I made a card without coloring it with markers or pencils. Love the new basket weave background.
