Pals paper arts - My Stampin Space

Well, this past Thursday was another Pals Paper Arts challenge. Being a Pal, I have privvy to the sketch & color challenges so give me time to get my entry ready to go.

So I took a look at the color challenge real quick the week before and spent a couple days mulling over the colors in my mind trying to think of what I could make with those colors. “Rich Razzleberry, Calypso Coral & Crumb Cake weren’t necessary colors I’d put together on my own, so this could be, well, a challenge”, I thought. That’s why they call it a Color Challenge! So I went into My Stampin’ Space, pulled out these colors, and my new “Oh Hello” stamp set and went to work.

I was so proud of the way this card turned out, all I could say was “Thanks, Pals for putting together color combo I never would have used on my own.” Then I proceeded to get my blog post ready to go so I could go live Thursday morning and realized:

It was supposed to be Raspberry Ripple; not Rich Razzleberry! DUH!!! Really? I had the wrong color combo! I was so upset with myself that I cancelled my plans to post that card and go back to the drawing board.

Now I could have just recreated that card with the correct color, but the more I looked it, the more I liked it! So I decided, right or wrong, I was going with my original card. So this morning I woke up and decided I would post that card anyway.

Please leave me a comment and let me know how YOU like my card! If you’d like to know how I made this, just ask and I’ll be happy to tell you.

Come back again, and Happy Stampin’

PPA150 Color Challenge

The first color challenge of the new year was just what I needed to get me back in the saddle again! I realized that I haven’t stamped, or posted anything on my blog for over 6 weeks until just the other day. I NEEDED to get back to stamping to get my sanity back. Stamping is therapy! I love the color combination that our pals came up with.

So here is my entry: I hope you like it.

PPA150

I used Melon Mambo embossing powder to emboss the flower image and sentiment.

I thought the flower needed a little bling so I added a center from Silver Glimmer paper topped with a jumbo pearl which I colored black.
