ColourQ 95 and Stamping 411 Sketch 213

The color challenge this week at ColourQ is all about some of the new SU! In Colors.

Look how fabulous these colors look together!  Those blues, the coral and a little bit of brown thrown in.  Ooh-la-la!  I could hardly wait to get started on a card for this.  And since it seems like forever since I made a card for the Stamping 411 sketch challenge, that's the sketch I chose.

I don't mind saying that Island Indigo is fast becoming my new favorite color.  If you haven't seen it I'm not sure that I can adequately describe how it looks.  It's too blue to be called teal and too dark to be turquoise.  It's too light to be a true indigo but it's not cobalt either.  In short, it is indescribable but entirely wonderful and I can't wait to use it again!

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

Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge 155

I forgot that I had these sweet pea felt flowers.  They're awfully cute and I'm sorry that I haven't used them more.  I've got some vague ideas for using them up involving gift bags and gift tags. Anyway, I think they look adorable on this card with the complementary sweet pea designer paper.  The weather this weekend was pretty lousy so after doing some house work, I decided that I could afford to spend some quality time in my stamp room.  I turned to the Stamping 411 sketch for my layout and I let the colors of the sweet pea dp be my guide.

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

Keep It Simple Sweetie

The Pals Paper Arts challenge this week was a KISS:  keep it simple sweetie.  I was pondereing what my card would be when along came Saturday and the Stampin 411 sketch challenge.  It just screamed KISS to me.  So off to my stamp room I went and this is what I came up with.

I've got a lot of birthdays coming up and the more birthday cards I make the better off I am!

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