Another challenge from this week

Well, I do have another card to post, however my biggest challenge this week has definitely been learning about blogs. I have spent way to much time playing on the computer without alot of results. But again, this is a new learning experience for me and I'll keep on trying.

I created this card for a demo in my group. It is an anniversary card. Happy Anniversary Crystal! I hope you like the card. It was for a SCS card sketch challenge however, I stuck with the color combo challenge from the day before. I never really liked Groovy Guava-but with the Sahara Sand and Whisper White it looks pretty good. I did use the *New* "In Color" Tangerine Tango ink. It worked well.

So get busy and use up all those old colors the new ones are on there way soon. This stamp set is called Fresh Cuts, it is also in the new Cattie. Just a few more days- I can't wait to get my hands on that book!

Challenges

I have really become hooked on challenges. Stamping challenges that is, not the everyday life ones. This past week I did several: a new technique challenge, color combo challenge, card sketch and limited supply challenge. These are all posted at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ It was addicting. I stayed up late in hopes of catching the post as soon as the new challenge was given. Here are some of my cards from this week.

These two cards were for the limited supplies challenge on Thursday. The challenge was to use scraps. I have tons of scraps. I hate to throw away all those little little over pieces of paper. So this was great. The stamp set is Enjoy every Moment, the cardstock Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla.

This card is made with Basic Black , Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White and So Saffron. The DSP is Petals and Paisleys. The stamp is Polka Dots and Paisleys. I used White craft ink on the black cardstock and Turquoise on the So Saffron. Oh, I almost forgot I used my brand new scallop punch for the edge. Love that punch! Don't forgot the brad.
