Color Throwdown #511

The SU! Hold on to Hope stamps and the Cross of Hope Framelits dies were used for this card.  I found this color scheme to be a bit of a challenge. But isn't that what this is all about?  In the end, I was pleased with how it came out. The round die is from the Spot of Tea set. 

Paper:  Petal Pink
Berry Burst
Blushing Bride


The flowers were colored with Stampin' Write markers Petal Pink, Granny Apple Green and Calypso Coral.

Color Throwdown #510

New stamps to use! What fun! That is one of the things that I like best about doing challenges - an opportunity to play with new treasures!  The buffalo check stamp is in the 2018 Holiday Catalog along with the Wish You Well stamp set (the wreath and bow)  The sentiment is from the Country Home stamp set, also in the holiday catalog.

I inked the buffalo check stamp with Calypso Coral and stamped it on Pumpkin Pie - love the contrast!  I see this becoming a well loved stamp!

Paper:
Pumpkin Pie

The minute I saw this sketch I thought "washi tape"!!! Though my heart remains true to Stampin' Up! I do support other companies from time to time. (Did you notice the word "support"?  That is how I justify spending money on treasures.  I'm "supporting" the global economy. You're welcome!) The spider web embossing folder is Darice and the washi tape with the Halloween words are all from the Eyelet Outlet (Which is one of my favorite vendors that go to my local expos/shows.)  All other products are SU! (Though the washi tape is retired.)

Paper:
Whisper White
Pumpkin Pie
Basic Black

Punch:  Spooky Bats Punch (page 51 of the 2018 Holiday Catalog)
