Stenciled Love & Sympathy

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 568 - Saffron Gray Sky and Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 571 - Naked Stamping.
I sponged so saffron using Tim Holtz Sunrays stencil in the upper right corner then sponged soft sky in between the rays and the rest of the front. I stamped the sentiment and image in smoke slate. I had to use my smoke slate marker to color some white ribbon. This is matted on soft sky then white card base. I did stamp on the inside but something happened to my pic and short of time no time to go back upstairs and retake it.

So here is the inside. Hope you like it.

Espress Yourself with a Perfect Blend

This is for today's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 548 - Coffee or Tea, Which do you drink?. Well I drink coffee up until 2pm after that I have trouble sleeping, and tea only occasionally. Can you believe that I am from the south and I don't drink sweet tea? LOL. Oh well. My layout is from Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 557. My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 547 - Attempting Blissful Pirouettes. I sponged all 3 colors on my focal panel of white cs using Tim Holtz Splatters Stencil then sponged the edges with tempting turquoise. I then matted that on tempting turquoise and then on white card base. I stamped the both sentiments in tempting turquoise. I stamped the to go coffee cup on pink pirouette using blackberry bliss ink then tone on tone with cs and cut out the center section to attach on the cup.

The envelope was stamped with the cup images in tempting turquoise. I am so proud of myself as I have completed inside, outside and envelope on every card since June this year. A goal I set for myself. Now when I need a card I have only to do some freehand on the inside and viola it is ready to go. Hope you like this one.

I searched high and low and this is the only car I have.  I have several trucks but no cars.
Anyway I am once again completing inside, out and envelope and needed at least 1 more Father's Day card so I kept with more Basic Gray than the pinks.

This time I also splattered the inside as well I covered the lights and windshield with some glossy accents and dabbed some glitter in the flower centers. Didn't want to go to far since this is for a manly man. I used some basic gray for the road and divided it with a white jel pen. Hope you like it.
