Ornate Color Challenge 3

Happy Friday all! Another week in the books! Crazy weather here - snow yesterday into the night, but things are looking up for the weekend. And back to more Spring like weather!

Here is my first creation with the new SU! Color Challenge. I knew I liked these colors :) I have several coming your way!


The colors for the #keepstamping challenge of the week are Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. Oh, the possibilities!!



I had stamped this last week when I first broke out the Ornate Style set, so I grabbed it and some Stampin' Blends. We don't have Early Espresso so I used it as more of an accent with the Stampin' Write Marker. Leaves are Crumb Cake, small flowers Pool Party, large flowers Pretty Peacock. Center accents of Early Espresso also dotted with a touch of Shimmery Crystal Effects. The 'label' die from the Painted Label Die set was stamped with the Thanks and my friend from the new Ornate Thanks set. Attached with dimensionals. Card base Pretty Peacock, accent layer of Early Espresso and background of Shimmery Vanilla (not SU!). I like this stamp, despite the coloring! Not always my first choice but also sometimes therapeutic!

Thanks for stopping by today! Happy weekend!! Product details and shopping links below. Stop back, there are several more shares in que!

Positive Purple

Morning all! Started to put this set away the other night but one more idea popped into my head. I've seen a sketch that was similar, and a card on Pinterest with a different flower. I picked Purple, imagine that!


Two versions, very similar. Different saying. Card base is Whisper White, background is thick white. Accent layer of Gorgeous Grape. I stamped the 3 darkest flowers first in Gorgeous Grape. Then added two each of Highland Heather and Purple Posy. Saying to the side, one Thank You and one Birthday. I've been trying to use this ribbon since I got it and never liked it with anything! This one I do though! 

Thanks for stopping by today! Hoping to stamp this afternoon and stay off the computer so my guys have good internet. Hubby working at home due to snow chances and college boy doing homework! Product details and shopping links below.

Daisy Lane Colors

Hey all, Happy Wednesday! More shares from me :) Are you joining me in trying to #keepstamping? I was on a roll Monday afternoon, we'll see what the rest of the week brings!!

Here are a couple cards I colored for the next challenge from Stampin' Up! I love the Smile and Friend stamps in the Daisy Lane set, so this time I decided to use the flowers too! The challenge this week is Night Of Navy, Pear Pizzazz and Pumpkin Pie. I struggled briefly with this, as Pumpkin Pie to me says Fall. But then I decided flowers come in all sorts of colors! Two different versions, read the details below.



This one is true to challenge with the colors. I used the regular Stampin' Write markers to color the flower and stem images that were stamped with StazOn ink. Pear on the stem, Navy flower centers and Pumpkin petals. I tried to go lightly and leave some white space. I also took the fine line and went over a few areas for accent. Card base is Very Vanilla, accent layer of Pumpkin Pie and background of Thick Very Vanilla. Sweet and simple! #simplestamping


For this one, I reached for Stampin' Blends. We do not have Pear Pizzazz so I switched to Old Olive for my green. The flowers here are stamped with Memento ink. I generally go over most all the area with the light color first, then accent with the darker and finally blend over where they meet with the light again. These flowers pop to me compared to the other. I did the center with the light Navy and only added a bit of dark before blending again. Flower petals all light, then the outside with dark and blend. Coloring is generally not my thing, but sometimes it just works :) Same cardstock here as above.

Thanks for stopping by today! One more post for sure this week so stay tuned! Let me know if you have any questions or I can help with anything!! Product details and shopping links below.

Positive Triple Challenge

Hey, all! Happy Tuesday :) Days are starting to run together, and I'm still working. Had Friday off for Good Friday though, so I was home 5 full days!! Probably should have spent more time in the stamp room but didn't make it up there until Monday afternoon. But it was a good afternoon! Here is another card that fits the first Stampin' Up! Color Challenge. Coastal Cabana and Mango Melody!


This popped in to my head after the first 3 challenge cards with Positive Thoughts. Seemed like it would be a good fit and it was. Colors are Mango Melody and Coastal Cabana. Triple Time - remember that?? Easy but awesome result! Please see this post with layer details if you need it :) 

I stamped the Hugs saying from Positive Thoughts in Coastal Cabana on the center white and then added flowers. Mango Melody first, Coastal Cabana next then filled as necessary. Remember when doing this technique do NOT freak out when it looks bad when stamping. Adding the layers is like MAGIC!!

Thanks for stopping by today! Several other projects in que, so check back. and hopefully I'm back in creating mode :) Product details and shopping links below.
