Hello Papercrafters,
I am back to share a new card I created this morning for a color challenge, the colors were; gumball green, marina mist and midnight muse. I didn't have the marina so I used island indigo instead. One of my favorite stamps is the maiden hair fern from the 'papaya collage' stamp set, so I decided to stamp the ferns in gumball green and stamp some flowers in the blues.....but in the process I decided to also do some green flowers. I love the way it turned out plus greens and blues together have always been a favorite color combo of mine. Here's the front
Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a wonderful day!

I thought I would share a card I created as a part of a challenge with a private group I belong to at fb, this week it was a color challenge using 3 SU colors, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, & Basic Gray. Here is my card,
I used the 'petite pair' sentiment for the front and on the inside.

Hello Papercrafters,
I've been participating in some challenges with some fellow SU Demonstrators, we belong to a private group and the challenges help us to get ideas and inspiration from each other.
This week we are working with the colors bermuda bay, daffodil delight, and crumb cake. When I work with color challenges I like to get the colors out and just look at them together before I decide how I'm going to incorporate them into a card. Since crumb cake is one of my favorite colors to work with I decided to use it for the base, I also wanted to use the mosaic embossing folder to the design and had the idea of doing some fussy cutting along either end to create an interesting effect.....well I love, love, love it and I'm not alone several ladies also liked the effect.....smiles.
Here's the front..
I am also entering this card into the retrosketches challenge #75 here's the sketch:
I will be using this technique again, in fact I am going to have to get the stamp set that goes along with it. I will also be demonstrating this technique in a video.....my girls go back to school on Wednesday so I will be able to schedule in video time, I will miss them but yeaaaa! for more video time!
On the inside of this card I added another flower like on the front and a stamped sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by!

I thought I would share another sympathy card I created for another family member. Again I used the stained glass technique, I thought it was so gorgeous and wanted something really elegant to show how much I care........I used a white cs base, added a dsp layer and stamped the images on vellum with versa mark, then added embossing powder and heat set. To give the flowers and leaves color just turn them over and use a dauber to rub ink color on.......
here's the inside.....
