Seize the Sketch #7

Today I thought I would give "Seize the Sketch" a try. Here is the sketch

And here is my card:

The base of my card is More Mustard. I ran some Bravo Burgundy through the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and also used a piece of Bravo Burgundy DSP. I stamped the hexagons from the "Six Sided Sample" set in Ballet Blue and ran a thin piece of "Ballet Blue" underneath. Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Pals 175 Color Challenge

This week, I thought I would give the PPA Colour Challenge a try. Here are the challenge colors.

And here is my creation:

I do like how this card came out. I used the Stampin' Up "Leaf Prints" stamp set along with some Cajun Craze and So Saffron Card Stock and some "Paisley Petals" DSP. A nice fall themed card.

Fab Friday Challenge 27

While I have been card making for a while, I have just recently really gotten back into with a passion. And I have started to follow several "challenge" blogs. While I do try most of the challenge sketches and color combinations, this is the first one I have done that I really like and feel worthy of entering. 

The challenge was this sketch by Fab Friday:

And this is my card:

I used the "Thoughts and Prayers" Stamp Set. It is stamped in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla card stock and layered on top of Soft Suede card stock. This is mounted on a piece of DSP from the "Everyday Enchantment" series. The base of the card is Very Vanilla and it is finished off with a few brads in the corner. I hope that this will be just the beginning of cards that I enter in "challenge" blog contests.
