A little Rock n Roll and a Color Challenge

And a challenge it was!! Todays PPA Color Challenge is Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight and Basic Gray. All wonderful colors in their own right, but combined, hmmmm what to do? Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight reminded me of some of the most vibrant fall colors this year. So I grabbed my Lovely as a Tree set to kreate a subtle scene

* Standard cardbase of Textured Gray cardstock

* Inked up my trees in Basic Gray and stamped onto Whisper White. With my Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight Markers I accented each tree with a few leaves. Kinda reminds me of a black and white photo with colored accents.

* A little too stark? A few flecks from my Color Spritzer helped to soften the look

* Ready to rock n roll? I took the leaf image inked in Daffodil Delight and lightly rolled the stamp around in Poppy Parade, kreating a two tone leaf image. TIP: Make sure to always use your light color first then into a dark color, so you don't ruin your ink pads!!

* Using my Paper Snips for precise cutting, I snipped out my leaves.

* With the same rock n roll technique I added my sentiment from Sincere Salutations

* A scrunchie Gray Taffeta Ribbon, see my scrunchie technique HERE, and Antique Brad finish it off.

PHEW, this one wasn't easy! But thats a challenge right?!
How'd I do? Not my personal fave, but I think I can live with it ;) and maybe it will inspire you in some way?!

Peace

Where have I been?...Lets see, we continue with our housing saga, but packing has resumed (only thinking positive now), we got through the first week of school and sports, AND the first bout of germs with both kids catching colds and then a stomach bug... so yes, I decided to climb through the boxes to my rather messy stamping oasis and have some me time :) One day I will look back at all this and have a good laugh - heck I'm laughing now (when I'm not wanting to burst into tears LOL) Keeping me on my toes and teaching me lots of patience! Life is good! ;) And so is taking the time to stamp with the PPA!! Todays challenge is a sketch challenge. I've been itching to ink up this set, and peace was all I could think about when I 'got away'.

* Inked up the Lev 2 Hostess set, Peaceful Season, from the Holiday Mini, in Cherry Cobbler and stamped onto Very Vanilla. Rounded the edges using a 1" Circle Punch. Isn't Cherry Cobbler such a rich an elegant color for the holidays? I'm lovin' it!

* Ruffled up my Very Vanilla Satin ribbon. How? Quite simple really - fray the edge of your ribbon and find a thread fiber that goes the length of the ribbon (not the 'fray') and gently pull and tug fiber which will kreate your ruffle. Ok, easier to do than explain. Give it a try, you'll get it!!

* Embellished with one of the fun NEW Big Designer Buttons, from the Holiday Mini, in Cherry Cobbler and tied with a piece of Linen Thread.

* Take it to the Big Shot!! Emboss your background for a very quick and elegant look! Zipped through Very Vanilla cardbase and Petals a Plenty Embossing folder - so pretty!

* Me and my Daubers, love them - always a must it seems on any card! Applied Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint to the embossed petals. Tip: shake up paint, paint will be stuck in the cap, guess what?, perfect fit for your dauber! Easy to ink up, less messy!

* Next, inked up the Dauber with Champagne Mist and applied to my dove image. Stamped onto Very Vanilla and snipped out with Paper Snips - these are so great for small and precise cutting!

* Placed focal image on dimensionals on cardbase and gave the dove some extra dimension as well!

Thanks so much for stopping by for a little dose of me! Hope you enjoyed my card for todays challenge. It definitely brought some peace to my day. I'd love to know what ya think, so please leave me a comment and let me know, K? Ahhhh, felt good to be back, but now back to more packing.

4 Pocket Memo Board

Well, here is the final project I have to show you from the Inkredible Spring Fling convention. We used Jersey Shore Designer paper and if this paper doesn't give you that WOW factor than imagine it with your favorite patterned paper.

The supplies used were:
Stamp set: So Happy
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Jersey Shore Designer Series Paper
Inks: Wild Wasabi, Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: On Board Accents, Anywhere glue stick, Sticky Strip, Take Note Rub-ons, Wild Wasabi & Pumpkin Pie Striped grosgrain, Wild Wasabi double stitched, White grosgrain, Daubers, Crystal Effects, small clothespin, 1-1/4" circle punch.



The pockets aren't real deep, but its great to put a memo pad, incoming or outgoing mail, honey-do lists :) etc... I have placed a few items into 2 of the bottom pockets. The little clothespin is attached to another pocket and there is one additional below that with the rub-on "favorite" and little white bow to the left.
4 little pockets. Cute and functional. Makes you want to make one doesn't it!!!
Contact me and I can tell you how.

For now, go kreate
