A couple of weekend challenges...




I don't usually get the opportunity to do Mojo Monday sketches but really wanted to remedy that and pull out my sadly neglected Verve stamps which I love.   So I paired it with this very challenging colour scheme from ColourQ.  Here are the results




Bordering Blue isn't a favourite of mine, in fact, not really sure I have the right colour as I have possibly given it away.  Very happy with the results, given the unusual combination.


What you need
Cardstock - PTI white, terracotta tile, scarlet jewel;  SU Bordering Blue
Stamps - Wplus9 Backgrounds 2;  Verve Floral Symphony, Dream Big
Ink - Memento London Fog, Tuxedo Black;  SU Bashful Blue
Martha Stewart butterfly punch
Dies - Spellbinders small circles and scalloped circles
Gemstones - Kaisercraft, MME Lush


Now, for my second challenge, this weeks Tuesday Trigger




There are quite afew challenges with this colour scheme, and it is so lovely and fresh.  Here is my take on it which I am pleased with.


What you need
Cardstock - PTI white
Stamps - Wplus9 Woodgrain Silhouettes Additions;  PTI Sending You, Floral Fusion
Ink - Memento Pear Tart, Cantaloupe, Lady Bug, Tangelo;  SU Tempting Turquoise
Gemstones - Kaisercraft
Copic Multiliner


And finally, card No. 3 for One Layer Wednesday #58.  This challenge was to use yellow, orange and aqua.




I have been waiting to use this lovely stamp set, I resisted bird cages till I saw this set.  More Copic colouring practice, YAY!!


What you need
Cardstock - PTI white
Stamps - My Cute Stamps - Elegant Birds
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics
Gemstones - Kaisercraft

  12. Oh, Cassandra. I'm blown away by all three cards. How lovely and creative and perfect they all are! I, too, want that birdcage, and your coloring of it is so pretty. The flower card frame is brilliant, and all the popping really makes it a stunner! The scalloped edges on your butterfly card really tie it all together beautifully.

    I think it's funny how many challenges came up with the same color scheme around the same time. Somehow, those colors say summer to me, which was why I used them. Clearly, I am not alone!!!
