Hero Arts Contest and Colour Challenge 354 {Thanks a Bunch}

Only a few more days until Christmas and although I have many tasks left to complete like wrapping and baking, I also need to create some cards for my mother in-law. I will be sending them to her as a late Christmas Gift, I have just had no time for stamping! 

I found the challenge at Hero Arts to use one of the three sketches below and also the colour challenge at Splitcoast Stampers to use Calypso Coral, Wisteria Wonder and Lucky Limeade.  I went to work with a brand new Hero Arts Stamp I just picked up today!!!  It is called "Large Flower Background" and if you like to colour like me, this stamp is a dream come true!

I inked up the floral stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then coloured with my Copics. I added some pearls and the Hero Arts French Script stamp for the background.  This stamp worked perfectly with the background colours!!!

Thank you for stopping by!!!

The Colour Q #110 and Card Patterns Sketch 140

Well Thursday is here and I have a card to share with you today! I really loved the colours at the Colour Q and I have wanted to play along with the Card Patterns Sketch for a while now, so I saw the chance and went for it!  I had to use non-SU colours to play along, but I tried to match them as best as I could. I also added black as a neutral, to highlight the warm, rich colours.

Once again I inked up the Agapanthus stamp from Stampendous. I coloured it with Copics. The script background comes from Hero Arts and the sentiment is from Amuse.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Clean and Simple Challenge CAS143 at Splitcoast Stampers

The Clean and Simple Team at Splitcoast Stampers has a great sketch challenge for today. I decided to use my Stampendous Agapanthus Stamp (one of my favs) and inked it up in Memento Ink, colouring it with Copics.

The card base is Naturals Ivory and then the White Cardstock is matted with black cardstock. The script is from Hero Arts and is stamped in Going Gray (stamping off three times)  Can you see the twine on the side with the little bow? 

Off to bed!  Have a great week!
