At least once a month I've got a week where I'm too busy to even venture into my stamp room. Well, this week was that week. I haven't set foot in there since Monday, so when I got home from work tonight I was determined to get in there and create something. No matter how long it took. It ended up taking way longer than I thought because I couldn't decide what challenges I wanted to participate in. There are too many that I love!!!
I eventually decided on a couple of challenges, so even though I'm holding my eyelids open with toothpicks right now I'm posting this picture of a card I made for the color challenge at Color Throwdown and the sketch challenge at Create With Connie and Mary.
I dug deep into my stash and used some DSP called Wintergreen which was a Christmas paper from a few years ago featuring Always Artichoke. I layered this on some Certainly Celery cardstock that I embossed with the Stripes embossing folder. The flower from Array of Sunshine was stamped first in pretty in pink then sponged with Melon Mambo after I fussy cut three layers.
The label is from the Matchbox die and stamped with the companion stamp and sentiment from Great Friend.
Well, I have officially had it tonight. It's late, I'm tired and I would like very much to get some sleep. So I'm signing off. But thanks for stopping by. Tomorrow, at a reasonable hour, I hope!
Gorgeous card Jen! I used those colours for a card I am posting on Sunday!! Aren't they so pretty!!

ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Jen. The sponging on the flower was a brilliant way to incorporate the second pink. It really makes the flower pop especially against those gorgeous greens. Just beautiful...thank you for joining us at CCMC!
