PPA160 Color Challenge card

I am happy again, I have a new computer but oh all the changes with Windows 8....like I found I could not upload photos on here with Internet Explorer 10 or at least I think I have 10.  But I finally figured it out.  And it is nice to finally be able to post on here again.

The card today is a color challenge for Pals Paper Art, PPA 160 using three colors...Gumball Green, Primrose Petals and Whisper White.  I also used a new stamp that is in the new main catalog (2013-2014)..it is a wheel...I don't do alot with wheels but did you know you can take the stamp off the wheel?  That is what I plan on doing most likely...

Supplies for this card:

Card Stock: Gumball Green, Primrose Petals, Whisper White

Stamp Set: Gingham (wheel), Perfectly Penned

Ink Pads: Gumball Green, Primrose Petals

Ribbon: Whisper White Organza

Punch: Itty Bitty Shapes

Punching out the corners was a bit different but it just seemed too plain until I did that....I would love to know what you think of that and this card.  I also punched out the two layers of white/green to have the Primrose Petals color show thru...a different look but different can be nice too. 

Please let me know what you think by commenting....

PPA158 Color Challenge Card

Time for Pals Paper Art Color Challenge...this time it is using the colors Lucky Limeade, Summer Starfruit, and Pool Party.  This is what I came up with.  I stamped the butterflies with the Pool Party but on to the Summer Starfruit the ink turns more of a green.  Of course by now, the Lucky Limeade is being retired so this is the last of it for now so if it is still available in any form get it now before it sells out.  Meaning card stock, ink pads, reinkers, brads, ribbon, etc.

Supplies for this card:

Card Stock: Lucky Limeade, Summer Starfruit, Pool Party, Whisper White

Stamp Sets: Best of Butterflies, Feel Goods

Ink pad: Pool Party

Ribbon: Lucky Limeade

Big Shot, Embossing Folder Lacy Brocade

Items in red are on the retired list....

PPA157 Card Sketch challenge

Challenge time again with Pals Paper Art Sketch challenge PPA157.  Today I am one the road to Salt Lake City...Saturday is the first time ever home office regional and I get to get my own copy of the new Stampin Up Catalog...so it will be a fun time to see all the new stuff and to bring home some of those items too! 

I really like the way this card turned out and the way the oval looks.  I used our Stampin Up Write markers to apply color to the stamp, blue and then the green. Inking only the parts of the image as needed.  Breathe onto the inked image to remoisten the ink before stamping onto card stock.

Card Stock: Baja Breeze, Marina Mist, Very Vanilla

Stamp Set: You Are Loved

Ink Pad: Not Quite Navy

Markers: Not Quite Navy, Garden Green

Big Shot, Framelits Ovals Collection, Embossing folder Argyle

Ribbon: Not Quite Navy
