PPA color challenge

Today's card is for the Pals Paper Arts color challenge ... even though I missed the deadline to submit it.

These colors made me think of fall which a nice thought during these HOT days of summer.  This is what I ended up creating ...

Stamps:  Decorate a Daisy, Make It Count

Paper:  Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, White

DSP:  Daffodil Delight

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight

Accessories:  Nestabilities label 23 and big scallop die, bird punch, SU markers, Sizzix embossing folder, polka dot embossing folder, Cherry Cobbler seam binding ribbon, sponge dauber, dimensionals

All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

After stamping the daisy, I ran it through my Cuttlebug with the scallop die to make it smaller.  I added some highlights with my Daffodil Delight marker.  Sponged the middle with some Cherry Cobbler and then popped up the sentiment with dimensionals.

I know leaves are not usually the color of Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler but I wanted to stay true to this color challenge.  In the picture, they almost look black. 

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day!

Featuring Holstein ... FS258

I'm really late posting this card.  I actually started it on time but did not finish it until yesterday.  Can you say SLOW?  


This card is for the Splitcoast Featured Stamper (FS258) Linda aka Holstein at SCS that was picked last week.  Linda has an awesome gallery full of fabulous cards of all kinds.  The reason I picked this card is that I had just purchased this stamp set and had not used it yet.  Plus I really liked Linda's card.  I just loved the blue roof on the barn.  Here is my take on Linda's card ...

Stamps:  Farm Life (Gina K.), Make It Count

Paper:  Real Red, White

Ink:  Memento Black, Real Red, Tim Holtz tea stain distressing ink

Accessories:  Nestabilities labels ten, Copics, oval and circle punch, sponge, pop dots, stripes embossing folder, twine.

All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

I used the same stamp, layout and cardstock.  I changed where the twine is on the card, different layers and embossing folder and sentiment.

My disappointment in this card is that I messed up the barn door so I restamped it and colored it again.  I messed up the second one as I colored the roof brown.  I could have still used it but what drew me to Linda's card was the blue roof.  So after all that, I ended up using the original image with the messed up barn doors.  This is a well used barn and those doors have been worked hard.  Sound legit ... lol

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great weekend!
