New Sunday Stamps Color Challenge

Hello Stampers!  Happy Sunday!  We have a fun new color challenge at Sunday Stamps starting today!       Love all the creations from my fellow designers at Sunday Stamps! Make sure you check them out and show them some love!

The color challenge is to use red, black and fuchsia in your creation. The color combo is great!  I used Real Red, Melon Mambo and Basic Black. For this challenge I have three different designs to show you.  Not because the color combo was a challenge for me, but because the design of my card was! Sometimes, the design gets the best of me. Once you see all three cards, I would love to know which card you like best!

This is my final creation. I created a paper wreath/flower by cutting out 12 pieces of DSP, each piece is cut 1 1/4. I decided to just keep it simple and keep the focus on the wreath/flower.  I really like the way the center came out! Not too bad for creating late at night. All the white space doesn't scare me, lol.

This was my first attempt! Which it's not bad but once I added the bottom piece of DSP with the Real Red, it just threw me off. I don't know, something about it I just didn't like.

This was second attempt, which once I stamp the splatter in Real Red I felt like I ruined the card! Why, well because it reminded me of blood, hence my need to cover it up. The card feels very chaotic and busy to me, almost like the splatter/blood got my blood going, lol. Have to keep playing with the gorgeous grunge stamp set.  

So what you think?  Which card do you like best?  Hope you have chance to play along with us at Sunday Stamps! Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you have a wonderful Sunday! Until next time.

Flower Shop Duo

Hello Stampers!  Happy Wednesday to you all!  Hope your week is going well.  August is turning out to be super busy and  fun!  Last week we went to three different concerts!  We saw Burno Mars!!  He was amazing!  The kid can sing, play drums and dance! Triple threat!

This past Monday, August 5, I had my Shoe Box Swap with my group.  I'm part of an amazing group, my direct group is with Diana Gibbs-Di's Country Inkers and my sideline is with Rhonda Morgan, Inkin' All Night.  It was so much fun!  The swap theme was to use any of the "Bundled Products" so I chose the Flower Shop stamp set with the coordinating Pansy Punch!  Love this stamp set! This was my swap for the night.  Clean, simple and colorful.

You can also read more about our night on Di's Blog.  She has cool photos of us! I laughed so much!  Oh and I have to share with you convention gifts from Di and Rhonda, in a later post.

I was inspired to continue using the stamp set for a blog challenge, the Dynamic Duos. Love this combo, especially the new Strawberry Slush! So make sure to check out the website for oodles of inspiration. 

Sorry my photo is a bit crooked. Love the way this came out! Two of my fellow demos at our meeting on Monday had created cards similar to this and I wanted to try it out.  Simple! 

Well friends, I better get going!  Hope you have a wonderful afternoon and I'll be back later this week with more to share!

Until next time.
