Oh My Goodness! I Almost Forgot!

Inspiration found on Pinterest

My gosh! I just about forgot to post my card for the ColourQ Challenge!

It's been a super long day today but there's no way I'm going to miss out!

ColourQ Challenge #341 requires the use of some of my favorite SU summer colors ~ Calypso Coral and Melon Mambo PLUS a brand new In-Color that will be available on June 1st, Peakaboo Peach!

I used a Sale A Bration stamp set appropriately named "Hello".

I wasn't sure if I liked this while I was stamping it but as the inks mellowed and evened out, it quickly became a favorite of the weekend!

Okay... this is really the last post for today. I'm headed to bed in the not distant future so I'll catch you all tomorrow for CAS Colours & Sketches!

                                               

Monday & Color Throwdown #392

I'm back again this afternoon with a card for a new challenge I've never played before ~ Color Throwdown!

My card was inspired by one I found on Pinterest, I just changed the colors to suite those required by the challenge.

The colors I chose to use were Stampin' Up's Pacific Point, Crumb Cake, Smokey Slate and Whisper White.

The stamp set is an oldie but one of my absolute favorites, Summer Silhouettes, also from Stampin' Up!

It's been a heck of a long morning already and there's more day to go including some remodeling projects this evening... it's for my brand new craft room though so I'm not going to complain!

Tonight we're installing a 4-foot fluorescent light fixture that will house 4 daylight bulbs making it bright as noon no matter what doom and gloom is going on outside ~ I'm excited!

                               

Freshly Made Sketches #236

It's Monday morning again and oh how I wish I could stay home and craft today! Alas, I'm off to work here in just a few minutes but first...

I'm squeaking in just under the wire this morning for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge #236!

For this card, I used a brand new stamp set by Stampin' Up! that will be available on June 1st. This beautiful flamingo is from the Pop of Paradise stamp set. The washi and designer paper coordinate perfectly to make this card almost effortless!

I say "almost" because the flamingo must be fussy cut as there is no die or punch for her. Fussy Cutting is sooo not my thing which is why I've order a new little gadget called the Slice Precision Cutter. I've posted a picture below and once it arrives and I've given it a try, I'll let you know what I think of it... I really want it to work!

Remodel projects over the weekend have put me a bit behind so I'll be back this afternoon with another card for you!
