Catching up on my Favourite Challenges

I have been running on empty these days.  I am just so pooped after work! But tonight I finally had the chance to play along with some of my favourite challenges.  I am going to list them all together here in one post which is not my usual style...but life has been busy.  It is only two cards but for 3 challenges!

Okay...here goes...

This first card is for the current Pals Paper Arts Challenge which is a "Fall Themed" Challenge.  I used a few new items from my stash.  I started with the Naturals White, Basic Gray and Crumb Cake Cardstock.  Then I inked the leaves in Really Rust.  The brads are from the Neutrals Collection and the ribbon is the Early Espresso 1/8".  I also used the French Foliage, Seasonal Sentiments and Sanded Background Stamp Sets.

The next card is for the current SCS sketch challenge and the Colour Dare Challenge which was to use Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla.  I used the Awash with Flowers set for my friend Shellie because she asked me last night to make a card with this set.  I hope you like it Shellie!!

Thank you for stopping by!  I always appreciate your thoughts and comments.  I hope you have a great Friday!

Smiles,

Curtain Call Colour Challenge

I wanted to be sure to play along with the Curatin Call Colour Challenge this week which was to use Pink, Melon Mambo, Certainly Celery and White.  Such pretty floral colours and I inked up my newest set called "Awash with Flowers".  I used the Thumping Technique on the flowers to give them a two-toned look.

Thanks for stopping by! Smiles, Lesley :)

I Went for It!!!

I have wanted to play along with Arielle's Colour Q Challenge for a while now...I seem to always be without one of the colours she is looking for but this week I decided to play along with or without the right colours!!  I was stumped as to what kind of card to make.  Wow...it was a real challenge with these colours but I decided to go for it!

I used my new Awash with Flowers stamp set and inked up the flowers in Bravo Burgundy, So Saffron and Only Orange.  The leaves are stamped in Certainly Celery.  The Awash with Flowers set is available to order in April and then won't be available again until July.

Thanks for stopping by!
Smiles, Lesley :)
