Color Challenge.......Hello, You

Happy Wednesday Peeps!!

Today I am sharing a card i made using the color challenge this week on SplitcoastStampers.

Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, and Primrose Petals. Such a pretty color combo. I pulled out my single Stampin Up stamp called "People Like You". I love to color this fun flower stamp.

I used my aqua brush and Pumpkin pie and Primrose petals to color the flowers.

I also used a bit of crushed curry in the middle of the flowers and some pear pizzazz on the stems.

I used some rustic cream card stock for my base and also for the image. I stamped with black stazon to water color.

I decided to use a different sentiment than the one on the stamp so I pulled out my "Regarding Dahlias" stamp set for this sentiment. I then used the Decorative Label Punch to punch out the sentiment and then two other punches with Pumpkin Pie card stock and matted the back. I then used some dimensionals to add the sentiment.

The main image is matted with Basic Gray and Pumpkin Pie card stock. I then mounted this piece with some dimensionals to the base at an angle. I finished it up with a few sticky back gold pearls in the corner and under the sentiment.

I wanted to keep it fairly simple for easy mailing.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Paper Players........Valentine for my Friend

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!

Thanks for stopping by today, I have a fun card to share with you. I made this card using the challenge this week on the Paper Players Blog. 

Clean and Simple One Layer Valentine. 

Well, we all know that I like layers, but I wanted to give this challenge a try. 

This stamp, a single stamp from Stampin Up called "People Like You", was not made to be a Valentine stamp per say but I think it works. I wanted to make a special card of a friend that would convey my feelings.

This is the perfect one, in my opinion.

This is a fun stamp to color and a bit challenging too. I worked a bit on the flowers and they are nice but not exactly the way I want but since I used regular card stock and not watercolor paper  I could not work the ink as much.

 I stamped the image onto white card stock with black stazon and colored using my aqua painter and Strawberry Slush and Primrose Petals with a bit of Crushed Curry in the centers.

I used Pear Pizzazz for the stem and used Crumb Cake around the image and sentiment.

I used my Stampin Up black marker to make the little "scribbles and dots" around the outside. 

The "love" is from the Best of Love stamp set and I used my stamp a ma jig to center it. I like how this turned out and I think my friend will like it but I do miss my layers and ribbons an embellies.

Let me know what you think.
