WPlus 9 Color Cue Challenge #13

I almost missed the deadline to participate in Color Cue Challenge #13.  So glad I had the time this afternoon to whip up a quick card.  Whenever I see grey, I think of elephants, and the remainder of the colors seemed to work well for a baby boy card.  So I went with it.  I love the new brother & sister set, since I have an awesome sister.  I love this new label and die together, so simple and easy!  I used the polka dot elephant from DeNami in the center. PTI embossing folders. I'm still getting the hang of them, but I think I'm going to "need" more. Such a fun way to add texture.

WPlus9 Color Cue Challenge #10

Kraft - Red - Purple - White  --- WPlus 9 Color Cue Color Challenge.  I always try to find time for Dawn's Color Cue Challenges, she always picks fun color combos.  I bought some Cork from Mish and wanted to use it for the Kraft color on my card. I was happy to find out I could punch it with Marvy punches. I pulled out a few of my WPlus 9 Stamps sets and came up with this card minutes later.  I love it when my plan actually comes together!

2 Sketches 4 You #61 & Color Cue #8 Challenge

Two challenges -I flipped the sketch on the side from Kazan at 2 Sketches 4 You, and the Color Cue #8 Challenge from W Plus 9 Blog. 
I wouldn't say I'm a fast stamper by any means, but fairly quick most of the time.  This card took me ALL Day from start to finish.  5 minutes here, 1 minute here, rediculous!  Maybe next time I should do 1 challenge at a time, I think I tried TOO hard on this one.  I love the sketch and color combo though.  I used PTI Polka Dot Background to create the yellow dot paper, I used Wplus9 stamps- Woodgrain Silhouettes & Additions for the flower & leaf image. Love the wrinkle ribbon look - so easy to tie a bow & add some fun texture. 

Color Cue Challenge and EBTKS #21

Lots of 1sts on this card - 1st time participating in the EBTKS Challenge, 1st time using wrinkle ribbon, 1st time using my new W Plus 9 Stamp sets - Magical Moments and Backgrounds II, and the 1st time trying this color combo.

W Plus 9 Color Cue Challenge was to use these colors: Aqua-Gold-Red-Cream/White.

The Everything But the Kitchen Sink Sketch was based off of a washing machine - love it!! 

So, the card didn't turn out as I had pictured in my mind.... but I don't have the time to pull it apart.  LOVE my new stamps though --- just need to try them with different colors.  Somehow I managed to use a much darker shade of blue than Dawn's Color Swatch.  I think a more aqua shade would be better.  I might try it again later.

WPlus9 Color Cue Challenge #6

Dawn picked fabulous colors - too bad I somehow managed to pick a pinker tone.  Oh well, we'll blame it on my blonde hair, or my photography skills.   I used the Woodgrain Silhouettes and Additions stamp sets to make my card.  These sets work fabulously together... love how versatile they are!  I felt like embossing so I embossed all of my images using Versafine Sepia Ink.  Yep, if you are fast - it will work.  I actually cut everything out too - not something I normally do.  I had to add some bling to the butterflies so I used DeNami Strawberry Freeze glitter.  I tried to find a "kraft" color ink in my stash - the closest I could find was PTI Chamomile.  Anyone have one that is a closer match?  I made a few Halloween cards this morning - I was VERY rusty!  I haven't made a card in almost a month! 

WPlus9 Color Cue Challenge #5

Color Cue Challenge #5 - Aqua - Brown - Orange - Green.  Dawn picked some fabulous colors - not one's I would normally put together, but I really like them now!!  I used the Woodgrain Silhouettes Set & Additions for this card.  PTI cardstock, ink & ribbon.  Rhinestones from DeNami - loving my new stash!! These are the Robin Egg Color - gorgeous turquoise.   Happy 4th of July to everyone - hope you have a great weekend!  This is a picture of my sister - she is turning 30 today!  Happy Birthday Andrea!!  My sweet nephew is 7 months old now.... so excited to see them both next week.

Color Cue Challenge #3 -WPlus9 Stamps

Thanks to my friend Paulina and the pretty cards she has been making with these stamps... I now own a few sets of my own.  I ordered them earlier this week, and was happily surprised when they arrived from Florida a few days later.  Dawn has some really fun color challenges... this one was tough for me!   Golden Yellow -White - Melon - Blue or Grey.  You have until May 7th to participate in the challenge.  I used SU Bashful Blue, PTI Summer Sunrise and Berry Sorbet.  I added a touch of bling using a quickie glue pen & extra fine glitter.  I used the Woodgrain Silhouettes Stamp Set.
