Color Throwdown #508

I didn't find this color combo as challenging as I did last week!  This week's card is a sample for my November clubs using the SU! Country Home set. I had to do a little masking to get the greens inside the pot to tall as opposed to wide. 

Stamps:  Country Home

Dies:  Stitched Shapes and Ovals

Embossing folder:  Layered Leaves

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper:  Granny Apple Green, Whisper White, Gorgeous Grape

Colored with Stampin' Blends

I had a few free minutes today and wanted to use the SU! Christmas Pines stamp set and the Pretty Pines dies that I will be featuring in my December clubs.  I love to have a few extra sample cards besides the ones we will do in class.  Shaded Spruce and Real Red are great combos for Christmas.


Inks: Shaded Spruce and Real Red
Paper: Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Basic Black Shaded Spruce and Real Red
Dies:  Stitched Shapes and Spot of Tea Framelits


Yeah!  Thanks Narelle for choosing me!


6. Narelles Choice: Judis festive card is full of detail and fabulous colours! I adore everything about it. Congrats Judi!

Color Throwdown 507

The aqua color was a bit of a challenge for me! I like to use the sketches to make sample cards for my upcoming classes and October's class is using the SU Halloween set Cauldron Bubble.  I guess the colors on this card are a bit untraditional, but they worked!

Stamps: Cauldron Bubble
Dies: Cauldron and Spot of Tea

Paper:
Toil and Trouble DSP (the hat - which cuts out perfectly with the die from the Cauldron die set if you don't like to fussy cut.)
Black Berry Bliss
Garden Green
Coastal Cabana
Lemon Lime Twist
Basic Black
Whisper White

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and Lemon Lime Twist

Getting in the mood for Halloween!  Though it is still warm and sunny and clearly still summer - which I love - the grocery stores had Hardy Mums on sale today which made me think that Fall is right around the corner.  Not sure I'm quite ready for that yet but I thought I'd get a jump on some Halloween cards for my October  Stampers Ten groups. (That's a hint ladies on what we will be doing in October - though this is NOT one of the cards we will do.)  Nothing cuter than a friendly ghost!

Stamps: Cauldron Bubble
Dies: Cauldron

Paper:
Toil and Trouble DSP
Highland Heather
Lemon Lime Twist
Basic Black
Whisper White

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Color Throwdown 505

I just love this set from SU! - Animal Outing!  As soon as I saw that gray was one of the colors I immediately thought "elephant" but then I thought - a rhino will do!  Colors used were Basic Gray, Flirty Flamingo and Bermuda Bay. The flower dies are from the Detailed Deers die set in the 2018 Holiday catalog.  The stitched frame is from the August 2018 limited edition die set Stitched Seasons.
