Kristina Werners Color Challenge #44

The hubby went to play at the Winter bluegrass festival last night. So I ended up going to bed early and got up this morning and decided to give Kristina's color challenge a try.

His band is at mosspiglets.com for anyone interested -- my hubby wrote and sang Small Town USA which is my fave of their new album. The CDs are on order -woohoo they are out of the studio! Albums take a LONG time to make!

Anway back to the card:

The base is Junkitz paper -- Also used DCWV (pink pattern), BG (brown pattern and tag), a strip of dark brown Bazzill is under the vellum. I do not remember the name of the vellum maker as it came from my stash. The brads are from Queen and Co. The stamps -- the words are CTMH and the dots are a SU roller. I used Adirondack Earthtones Espresso for stamping and Dark Brown Cats Eye chalk ink for inking the edges. The ribbon is from my LSS and I love it but dont know the brand.

Here are the colors:

In the worlds of Everclear (Warning: obscure song by obscure band reference but it has been running through my head this morning!) "Here we go again... I know, I know, I know, I know, I know... I know you had your doubts, I know you think I am crazy, I know your just like me!" here is my KWerner challenge. Yes I WAS going to spend all evening making gifts for my friends YES I did get distracted by this challenge. But it is TOO fun! Here are the colors that Kristin chose this week -- -for me it was a challenge! These colors are suppose to go together? hmmmm. Did I mention I LOVE these challenges. I got a box today from LoriMart (wooohooo) so I was all about using some new stuff. Oh and I HAD to use the template that Kristin offered up to every one with that beautiful swirl. Lets see - I used my Heidi Swapp mask with the Tim Holtz mini misters (mister contained worn lipstick and perfect pearls) to to make the swirls (and the heart in the title). The card itself is Bazzil, I als...

I just need to start packing. So I took a break and made a card. This is for Challenge SCTL7 http://stampinglinkstolove.blogspot.com/ . This week is just add leaves. You need to have at least 5 leaves on your card. Here is my entry. Since things have been so sad around here lately I wanted to remind myself to smile The paper leaves are from Prima and the brad leaves are from my stash. The paper is from Basic Grey and Bazzill and yes it is the same paper as on the last card. The smile is a sticker - I dont remember the vendor but I got it at Target. The stamp is from Northwoods - (background on the paper) I used Ranger esspresso ink with vintage photo distress embossing powder. Everything is inked in ColorBox ink from a Que. The bling is from Kaiser. It may not be my best card but it made me smile! edit: To answer a question: the paper is Desire and Pearl from the Scarlet Letter Collection from Basic Grey --- this is the 8x8 paper version which I like better for card making --- I know n...
