Blended - Color Throwdown #498

I really do enjoy these color challenges. I have a lot of coloring media and this gets me to focus on that rather than the kit or the stamp (even though the stamp takes center stage on this card!)

I started with the colors. I used my new Gina K minis with Ink blenders on Bristol smooth card stock.  So far I am happy with the purchase of these inks. I blended and let the colors rule. I added a Prima stamp from their Bloom Collection - it's pretty old and pulled from my stash, using Simon's Intense Black Ink. I used one of the dies from the Tonic Kit - pulling the ends in to give the sentiment more interest. Again I used the Ton for the sentiment - I am addicted to that stamp! Added some Nuvo drops and I am done.

Please go to Color Throw Down to play along with the challenge. This card is definitely a departure from my normal style but I love it. It really stretches you!

I have had some scrapping time this weekend and while I am getting REALLY behind on my photos I am enjoying making cards! I used Creative imaginations patterned paper, Bazzill cardstock, spellbinders cutters (had them forever - thought I should actually USE them!) Autumn Leaves Stamp, Gold Embossing, Gold Stickles, SU Scallop Punch, Ribbon from my stash,Dew Drops Made by Sharon and Pop Dots The paper reminded me of foreign places and the stamp reminded me of all Bond movies!

KWerner Color Challenge

I am having fun creating in my studio today. I gave KWerners challenge a try - here are the colors: Here is my interpretation: I used clear emboss and the resist technique -- I inked with Tim Holtz inks (the stamp is from Hero Arts) The ribbon is from Stampin Up and the paper is from scraps and of course Bazzill --- and Pop dots! It is a pretty simple card but I like it.
