CCMC 161

I had seen this colour challenge last week and had wanted to complete it.  This morning I had some time to play in my room and came up with this card.  I've had Word Play for quite some time and use many of the sentiments in it, however I hadn't found the opportunity to use this one for anything.  On most of my cards I use punches to add extra layers but I really like the look of sentiments stamped right on the patterned paper, so I gave it a whirl.  I like it.  Once again, Fabulous Florets has proven to be an amazing set.  It fits pretty much any occasion, and gives you the versatility to use many colours.

Stamps:  Word Play, Fabulous Florets
Ink:  Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black
Paper:  Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Whisper White
Extras:  Basic Black grosgrain ribbon, silver brads

If you're looking for a challenge blog, this is a good one Create with Connie & Mary.  They have a great selection of colour and layout challenges, using all Stampin' Up colours.

Wedding Cake Part II

Since it's summer and there are always a plethora of weddings, I've decided that I need to make a few more cards for this occassion.  I have a few styles that I like for wedding cards, but I wanted something different.  In my wanderings through the internet, I came across a card that someone made using the embossing folder to make a giant cupcake and I figured I could do the same for a whole cake.  This afternoon when I sat down to make a wedding card, this little guy came together from that inspiration.

Stamps:  Word Play
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Smooch Spray
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Crumbcake
Extras: Very Vanilla seam binding ribbon, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Boho Blossoms punch
