Supplies:

Stamp Sets: So Happy For You, Birthday Whimsy

Ink: Tangerine Tango, Taken with Teal, Sahara Sand (sponged)

Feel free to leave your opinion. :)

I'm back into the blog challenges this week!!! AND having more fun with rhinestones! This is one more card for the 2 packs I'm putting together or a friend to give as Christmas gifts. She wants cards with bright colors for the recipients. :)

This card is for 2 challenges. (I usually try not to combine, but I wasn't really getting anywhere with them individually!) The color scheme comes from the Stampin' Royalty Color Challenge for the week. Except I wanted my card to be a little brighter, so instead of So Saffron, I used Daffodil Delight. The layout is from this weeks Diva Coffee Break Designs Sketch Challenge, but I did flip the sketch.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Garden Greetings

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise

Paper: Concord Crush, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise

Tools: 1", 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" Circle punches, dimensional

Embellishments: Basic Rhinestones

I hope to start posting much more regularly so I decided to title with dates. Otherwise, I waste time trying to come up with a "clever" title (term used loosely!!). The cards I am posting today are more challenge-responses! I've found even one more blog with challenges.... as if I needed more. :)

Last night I found Stampin' Royalty and their great color challenge this week. Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Not Quite Navy and Old Olive - a fabulous combination! I think I will tuck this combo away for future use. AND I actually found another SplitCoast challenge forum: Free 4 All. This weeks challenge was to make and give a "Get Well" card. My mom has been fighting a cold the last few days, so I made this for her and Adam and I took it over to her with a packet of Peach Tea.

Supplies:

Stamp Sets: Punched Posies (flower and the dots on the twill tape), Wellness Wishes, Texture wheel

Ink: Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy

Paper: Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Not Quite Navy DSP (retired) and textured, Old Olive DSP (retired) and textured, Cherry Cobbler

Then I made my way over to the Diva Coffee Break site for Design Challenge #190. The colors are Tangerine Tango, Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. I came up with this:
