Paper Pal Arts Color Challenge

Here's my card for this week's color challenge at Paper Pal Arts - PPA83.  The combo is Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede.  The base of my card is made with Parisian Breeze DSP.  This paper is heavy weight textured card stock so it makes a good card base.  I stamped the flourish from the set Bliss on the base several times to make a wallpaper pattern.  My sentiment is from the set Vintage labels.  I punched that with a small oval punch.  The scallop strip is diecut with the Tasteful Trim die.  I added some seam binding and an antique brad.  Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Pal Arts Sketch - PPA66

Here's another Christmas card for my personal stash.  For this card I used this week's sketch challenge at Paper Pal Arts - PPA66.  My focal image is the stamp Dasher.  I added a little Dazzling Diamonds to his antlers.  The Santa tag is from the set Tags til Christmas.  I punched this out with my tag punches.  The sentiment is from the wheel Jolly Jingles.  I punched this out with the Decorative Label punch.  The color combo is Baja Breeze, Garden Green, Real Red and Blushing Bride.  I used the DSP Candy Cane Christmas.  I punched my DSP with the Scallop border punch.  I finished with a couple rhinestones and some ribbon.  Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Pal Arts Challenge - PPA63

I got a new set this weekend so I had to pull it out and ink it up!  This card is for the Paper Pal Arts challenge - PPA63.  This was a color challenge and the combo is Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait and Mambo Melon.  What a bright, fun combo!  I used my new Stampin Up set Morning Cup.  This set is really fun to color.  The background was stamped with Itty Bitty Backgounds.  The DSP is from the current hostess Pattern Pack and Razzleberry Lemonade.  I added some ribbon, linen thread and a button.  The sentiment was punched with the Tiny Tag punch.  I love the cute sentiments that go with this set!  I punched the corners with my corner rounder punch.  I used my ink refills and an aquapainter to watercolor the teacups.  Thanks for stopping by!!

Three Challenges in One!

This is a first for me.  I've never done one card for three challenges before. I have to say, I really like how this card turned out!  These challenges worked really well together.  I used the color combo from Color Q - cQc51.  The sketch is from Paper Pal Arts - PPA61.  I haven't played along with the Paper Pal blog in awhile.  I love this sketch!  Finally, I found a new challenge blog, SU Only Challenges - SUOC2.  I'm going to like playing along with SU only challenges!

For my card, I used the stamp set Just Believe.  I used my markers to color the stamp.  The combo is Old Olive, Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait and So Saffron.  The SU Only challenge was to use the Big Shot.  I cut my Old Olive tag with the Lots of Tags sizzlet.  I layed my sentiment from the set On Your Birthday with the Oval punch.  I used my corner rounder on the main image and finished with some pearls.  Thanks for stopping by!

Two Challenges in One

I made this card for a couple challenges - Paper Pal Arts PPA47 and The Sweetest Thing SSSC74.  The Paper Pal Arts challenge was to make something summery so I pulled out my Island Oasis DSP.  It's very bright and summery.  I used the Island Floral die to cut the main flower.  I used my 5 Petal Flower punch to punch out the center and then added a button.  I added a little embossing to the leaves with the Square Lattice folder.  For colors I used Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red and Old Olive.  I stamped the sentiment with the new set Occasional Quotes.  Thanks for stopping by!
