Thinking of You and some NEWS!




I am so excited!  I made the design team at Stamptacular Sunday Challenges!   We have a great design team of designers from literally all over the world.  I look forward to getting to know everyone.  At Stamptacular Sunday Challenges it is all about stamping and just fun challenges.  Our challenges are posted every Sunday.  Often we have sponsors and you have a chance to win!    This week is Challenge #79:  Layer it On! Check out the link and find out how to play along with us and for a chance to win!

I am using the sketch from Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO158)!  I am using the colors from the Color Throwdown #112 Challenge!  I am also playing along with the Paper Sundaes Challenge #38To use something from my stash.  That would be my dp. 




I am using Verve's Kind Words.  For the trio of colors I went with more old olive than the other two color choices.  The other two colors are definitely present, but they are used more as accent colors.   I stamped the stems with ripe avocado and rocked and rolled the flower using pumpkin pie and rhubarb.  I die cut the focal image and softly sponged around the flower.  I am using Webster's Pages dp, cb ef, and PTI ripe advocado satin ribbon.  I stamped the sentiment in Memento rhubarb and then stamped it again using Memento black ink to give more of a shadow effect. Finished with some gold pearls!


As always, thanks so much for stopping by!
