I stamped my image in basic gray then calypso coral for the flowers. I added a bit more color with copics and shadowed around them with copics then adhered the four pieces on basic gray. I ran the Crisp Cantelope through the cuttlebug with Darice Diagonal Heart embossing folder then sponged some crisp cantelope on the raised portions.   I am on a roll meeting my goal of completing inside, out, and envelope.

Simply Soft

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 348.
My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 338 - Cutting The Cherry Calyspso Mustard.
My base is calypso coral with the next panel of more mustard pattern paper.
For my focal panel I stamped the outlined image in cherry cobbler then the 2nd image in calypso coral after stamping off. I used copics to color the leaves then sponged around the edge with calypso coral and then cherry cobbler.
My next panel I punched a 3/4 circle then used the negative sheet to sponge heavily with more mustard then used the punched circle to mask and lightly sponge more mustard, the botton was then sponged with calypso coral and the very edge lightly with cherry cobbler.
I tied some calypso coral ribbon and mustard colored cording through a button and viola!

Sunflowers Make Hope Happen

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 283. I love this layout Roxy, thanks for all you do for us challenge junkies. LOL.
With the colors from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 273 - Cocoa Banana Gardens screaming for sunflowers I just had to answer the call today. I dusted of this darling Stampin Up Summer Sunflower retired set at actually put ink to rubbah. LOL. I have used digis so much lately I had forgotten how to do that technique. I also almost forgot to clean my rubbah after I stamped. OOOhhh that would not be good.
I stamped the stem on my base in garden green. Then I stamped the inked the solid leaf and stamped off then stamped on some white cs. I then inked the 2nd part of the leaf stamp and stamped it over the 1st part. I did this 3 times and cut them out. I stamped the sunflower in barely banana then the inside portion in close to cocoa and cut the sunflower out. I popped up the sunflower then placed the leaves around the flower. The focal panel was also popped up after adding the yellow and green ribbon.
I used some garden green pattern paper for panel 2 and close to cocoa base. Panel 3 is barely banana where I stamped the sentiment from a new to me stamp set from Stampin Up called Hope Happens in close to cocoa. I added some stickles last to the flower and leaves bc I LOVE glitter.
