Colour Throwdown #81 and a Question

Here I go! A post during the week! I am trying to keep up with challenges but this week at work has been busy and I must admit, I am pooped! Here is my submission for the current Colour Throwdown to use Pink, Chocolate and Olive. I inked up my Baroque Motifs set, I haven't used that set since Christmas!! It is inked in Olive and the little flowers are in Rose Red. The Paper Flower is created with the new Sweet Pea Designer Paper. It is so pretty! I used some Rose Red ribbon for the bottom of the card to tie it all together. Of course I used the corner trim punch, I love it! Now for my question, what is your favourite SU! stamp set and why do you like it?

Thanks!
Lesley ;)

Scallop Circle Punch and Nesting Circle Punches

I am teaching a Christmas Card class this Friday. These are two of the 5 designs we will be using for the class. I just need to cut all the paper and get it set up! For the first card, I used one of the ornament stamps from Delightful Decorations Set. Then I used my 1 1/4' Circle Punch to punch it out. I used the 1 3/8" Circle Punch to mat the cut out piece in white and the Scallop Punch in black to set it off. The Scallop Circle Punch has little holes punched out of each scallop. The main image used on this card is the Dasher Stamp. Dasher is stamped in Basic Black Classic Ink and the background of the card is En Francais in Basic Grey; for a softer look.
This next card I used my retired SU! Snow Burst Stamp set. I inked it up in Night of Navy and punched it out with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch. Then I matted it with the 1 3/8" Circle Punch in Bashful Blue and then punched a Scallop Circle out of Night of Navy with the Scallop Punch. The small swirl in the top right hand corner is from the Baroque Motifs Stamp Set. The sentiment is from the retired SU! set called Peaceful Wishes. The blue designer paper is from last year's SU! Sale-A-Bration. There is other Bashful Blue designer paper available in the catalogue and through online ordering.

Stamps: Dasher, Delightful Decorations, Paceful Wishes, Snow Burst, En Francais, Baroque Motifs

CAS#40

This card was made for the Splitcoast Stamper's Clean and Simple Challenge #40 which was to use one colour and white. I had to stamp off each image with Always Artihoke Ink because I couldn't find my Mellow Moss...so I tried to match it as best as I could!! I hope that is ok!

Thanks for stopping by!
Smiles,
