Just Add Ink 50 & Waltzingmouse 29

I think I'm definitely addicted to challenges.  I feel lost without them.  When I first started my cardmaking journey, I spent hours and hours scouring Splitcoast Stampers for ideas, but I pretty much CASED everything I saw.  (And I saw some beautiful stuff).  But then I decided to try my hand at making my own cards.  Looking back, it was a very scary decision to make because I had no idea if I actually had any ideas of my own!

Turns out I did, and although I don't love everything I create, I keep plugging away at it.  And I'm extremely grateful for all the wonderful card-makers out there that inspire me with their sketch challenges and color challenges.  Not to mention all the card-makers out there that participate in the challenges.  The creativity that I see never ceases to amaze me!

That being said, today I've decided to make a card using the very challenging Just Add Ink color challenge which I paired with the equally challenging Waltzingmouse sketch challenge.

Sometimes a clean and simple layout is not so simple after all!  I almost started out making a wine bottle tag, but then decided to make a card using one of my favorite layouts.  And what about those colors?  Never, in my wildest dreams would I have imagined putting elegant eggplant with the other colors, but it works!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have time to stamp today!
