Here's my card for the Color Throwdown #6. It was my week to pick the colors, so I hope you like them :)
I chose to use my new Endless Arrangements set by the Little Paper Shop for the challenge and I really like how it turned out. One of the reasons I decided to get this set is because of the sentiment in it. I just love it.
Also, be sure to check out my fellow design team members blogs to see their creations as well -
I have some free stamps to giveaway today!!
All of you will be recieving a free "Mini Stamps" set by Inque Boutique!!
Thank you so much for playing :) I loved seeing all of your creations!! Please head on over to the Purple Turtle Shoppe and pick out a "Mini Stamps" set of your choice. Then let me know the set and your address by dropping me a note. You can find my email address on my side-bar :) Thanks again ladies!
I hope to do this again soon and look forward to seeing more "Inque Boutique" creations!
I have been remiss in introducing my teammates on the Color Throwdown blog so I wanted to take a minute and give them a shout out :) They are a very friendly and talented group of ladies and I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to work with them!
Be sure to stop by the Color Throwdown blog tomorrow for a new challenge. This week's color combination is one of my favorites so I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone's creations!
Oh my gosh... I am totally addicted to stamping!! I drove all the way from Maine to New Hampshire today just so I could get my stamping stuff. Partly because I have several assignments due, but also because I saw so many beautiful cards using the Color Throwdown challenge that I couldn't take it anymore and had to create something!! Please tell me I am not the only one who do something like this :)
Actually I'm glad I did because I had a big box of Odd Bird Planet stuff sitting in my driveway :) I ordered one of the Lime Tart kits that Johanna is now offering through her on-line store. It used to be that they were only available in Australia and every month I would drool over the design teams projects wishing it wasn't so expensive to have one come to the US. Now that's changed and I can order them through Odd Bird Planet. I'm pretty happy about it because I really dig kits :)
Here's a pic of the kit I got, the "Half Tart"
So, let me you tell you about my card now :)
The stamps are from two Inque Boutique sets I got from the Purple Turtle Stamp Shoppe called "Isn't it Romantic" and Stephanie Barnard - Mini - Thank You. I took a photograph of the stamps so you could see what they look like. The flourish on the left side of the picture is the engraved rubber side of the stamps and the flower, leaf and dots show the reverse side which has the printed image and sticks onto your acrylic block. Very cool.
Seeing I'm on vacation this week and I don't have anything to stamp with, I've decided to post an Inque Boutique giveaway! Link any card or project using an Inque Boutique product to this post and I will enter you into a drawing for a free mini set of your choice :)
Here are some specifics -
1.) The cards/projects can be ones you have already uploaded to galleries or blogs
2.) You can post as many creations as you want!
3.) I will draw a winner on Thursday, July 17th
If you have any other questions just let me know and I look forward to seeing your "Anything Inque" creations :)
Gosh, I really love a color challenge, maybe even more than sketch challenges. If someone decides to start up a color challenge/inspiration blog, I am so in :)
The challenge on Splitcoast Stampers today was Soft Sky, Kraft and Black (how could I resist those pretties!) I'm not a big black cardstock person so I limited my use of black to the ink.
All of the images I used are from justjohanna's Odd Bird Planet - Danielle Left, Little Cloud, Just for You (sentiment)
Danielle was stamped with black Pallette ink on the Soft Sky cardstock. I then shaded her with blue and white SU! chalk and outlined the top of her faintly with a prismacolor pencil.
The Kraft paper square is 3". I stamped the clouds with Brilliance Moonlight White ink and sponged the edges.
This card is so simple, but I love how it came out :)
Lime Tart and the Zest Blog is celebrating a birthday this month and giving away a June A la Tarte kit. All you have to do is post a birthday card and link back to them. So here's hoping I win, hee hee :)
