thinking of you in greens

Ready to get your green on?

Do you like these challenges and sketches?  Are you playing along?  I needed a sympathy card, and this color combination was perfect.  

You know I tell you it's OK to stamp on DSP.  Here I picked a subtle print from the Happy Watercolor, stamped the flower, cut it out, and popped it up on dimensionals.  

Have a great {green} day!

A weekend thank you

Glad we made it to the weekend.  Phew.  

The 2014 Occasions Mini catalog makes watercoloring a breeze - mostly because I love to cheat and the Watercolor Wonder DSP and Happy Watercolor stamp set lets you be a cheater!!  

Be a cheater (we won't tell!)

Eggstra Creative

Hi crafty friends!  We have an eggstra special edition of the RemARKable blog tour this month!!

Several little containers to deliver your favorite candies.  

I love this little guy because you can see the pretty contents.

DSP:  Sweet Sorbet (2014 Sale-A-Bration exclusive) Accessories: Window Sheet, 2-1/2" circle punch for top, empty brad/button/accessory container

This little guy holds those creamy eggs.  This is also great because you don't need to destroy the packaging to get to the goodness.  

If you want to recreate this, start with a 2" x 9-1/4" piece of cardstock.  Score at 1/2", 2" (punched with a 1-1/4" hole in center of this section), 2-1/2", 4", 6" and 7-1/2"  Crease and decorate.

hello

A new color-combo!  What do you think?  I'm really loving pops of black recently.  

Coordinating punches and stamp sets are one the best!

Congratulations

Color challenge?  I don't use much pink around here....bet you've noticed that.

So I presented this to a group of friends and then sat and cursed myself for selecting this image.  And then...I realized that's why it's a challenge.  It should make you work.  Truth be told, this little project took a loooooooong time to get something that I was satisfied with.  

 Pinks are trouble for me.   

Challenge yourself today!

Thanks for checking out my project.
