Color Challenge

I can't believe how quickly this month has flown by and it's already my last week as a guest designer for the SCS Color Challenge!  I want to thank the team for inviting me to join them - it's been a lot of fun!  Now, on to the new colors...

Mary Marsh has chosen these really yummy colors - Hello Honey, Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder - with the dessert option to feature our favorite summertime sweet treat.  Well...I opted to skip dessert because this new SU set was calling out my name and

for me...summertime flowers ARE the best treat - maybe not the sweet kind, but they are a treat for my eyes and many of them smell sweet :-).   I colored the flower with Copics after stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It Blending Card, then fussy cut and adhered with a glue stick.  I used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment  and it's a good thing!  With stamping on a portion of the leaf, I didn't get a clear enough image with the first try, but the MISTI allowed me to ink up again and then it was perfect.  I have really loved having this tool in my arsenal!  Don't you love being enabled?! :-)


STAMPS: You've Got This (SU).
PAPER: Moonlight designer papers by SU, White.
INK: Hello Honey, Memento Tuxedo Black.
ACCESSORIES: Enamel dots by MME, Diamond Stickles, Copics.

To A Classic

Yes...DH has a birthday on the 19th and this classic car image is just perfect for him! He has always loved restoring old cars...currently has a running 1934 Chevy, 1955 Chevy, and is working on a 1936 Ford convertible and 1965 Mustang (actually our daughter is helping with this one as it's her "baby").  He owns and operates Classic Auto Body and Paint, so you can see why this SU set jumped onto my order form immediately - lol!  

 I'm playing along with a new (to me) SUO challenge called Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch challenge.  Isn't this a great layout?!  The navy designer paper is from an old SU paper stack.  I recently ordered this silver foil paper and love using it with this CB embossing folder for masculine creations.
