Playing with Color Challenge and More

Hello! Welcome to my studio.  I have been playing with some old rubber stamps from the GKD Unforgettable set to create some CAS cards.  The top card is created with a color combination for the challenge at Just Us Girls. I inked up the floral image with DOI Abandoned Coral and Memento London Fog inks and stamped on a White panel. I embossed the center of the flowers with Gold EP and a Versamark Pen.   I stamped he sentiment with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Gold EP. I trimmed the panel with a GKD Stitched Dieand edged the panel with Pilot Metallic Gold Marker for more gold accents.  Finished with a Coral card base and a light grey mat. 

I decided to use the same stamps (since they were on my desk) plus one more to create another card, but I stamped the silhouette images with Memento black ink on a background that I used ink blending to create an oval with Hero Arts ink. I finished with sentiment stamped in black ink and a card base of Black CS.  Clean and simple! 

Have you ever used the wrong product by mistake?  In the making of this second card, I mixed up a Stick It Adhesive Sheet with my masking paper. Oops!  Ended up having to add another white layer with the oval die cut out since I had adhesive on the original layer with the inked oval.

Dropping a Line

Hello!  Today I am sharing a card that I made with a silhouette stamp from an old set from Flourishes called Kid's Play.  I stamped the image and sentiment with Memento Black ink and heat embossed with Clear EP. I sponged the sky lightly with Memento Summer Sky ink and added some color to the water with Copics B000.  I used a pattern paper with a bubble design found in my stash for the background. I inked the edges of both the image and mat with a Black Copic to give the look of more layers without adding thickness or more weight to the card.

Sponging Birthday Wishes

Welcome!  I am not very good with color challenges but I like the challenge at Color Throwdown  and just had to give it a try.  I am not too fond of purple but it goes very well with the other chosen colors.  I was very inspired by the DT card by Lori  and I guess you would say I CASE'd it.  Hope she does not mind.   I sponged SU Lovely Lilac, Rose Red, Regal Rose, and Creamy Caramel  which seemed to match up close to the colors to use.   I used water color paper and was pleased with the outcome of the sponging and the subtle texture.  I stamped  GKD stamps from Wild Blossom set which I had been anxious to use. Inked with Memento Tuxedo Black and heat embossed with clear EP.

Challenges:
Color Throwdown: #401 Use dark pink, burgundy, pale peach and purple.
Just Us Girls Challenge: Trend Week #351 Sponging.  I sponged 4 colors on water color paper as background for silhouette stamping.
Simon Monday Challenge: Use Flora and/or Fauna. Chose to use Flora.

Spring Play

Hello!  I love using older products as much as new ones.  This card was made with stamps from Flourishes Kids Play set.  The challenge at House of Cards to use a Silhouette inspired me to pull it out.  I stamped the image with GKD Black Onyx ink and heat embossed with Clear EP.  The embossing gives the image a nice shine and makes it really pop on the White CS.  I cut the image with a Spellbinders Oval die and placed on a black die cut with Cheery Lynn Swedish Spring Oval Frame.  Finished with a strip of Black and White Gingham Satin Ribbon using a Card Base of Neenah White CS.

Challenges:
House of Cards: March Challenge : Silhouette
