Birthday Bakery

It's another snowy day here in Brier and therefore a good day to stamp.  I decided to try a sketch challenge and also a color challenge.

 

The sketch is the Saturday Sketch Challenge on Stamping 411.  The color challenge is the Curtain Call Color Change ACT70.  Here's my card:

Stamps: Birthday Bakery, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper: White, Tempting Turquoise, Tangerine Tango, Certainly Celery

Ink: Black, Markers - Tempting Turquoise, Tangerine Tango, Pear Pizzaz

Accessories: Turquoise grosgrain ribbon, celery button, embroidery floss, embossing folder, mat pack and paper piercer, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch

Nature Walk

I just got this stamp set from Stampin'Up and love the vintage look. I'm not that great at coming up with vintage cards but I'm going to make a stab at it. This card was spurred along by a sketch challenge and a color challenge. What more help could I ask for.

I started with the birdcage stamp on white cardstock. I then inked up the bee stamp but stamped it off once before stamping next to the birdcage so it wouldn't be too bold. I did that 3 times. Then I did the same thing with the no.147 stamp.  I used the ink pad around the edges of this piece and then matted it with Pear Pizzazz and then Rich Razzleberry. I think you can tell the rest pretty easily by looking at the photo.

Stamps: Nature Walk, Fancy Flexible Phrases

Paper: Rich Razzleberry. Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, Cottage Wall DP, White

Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories: Scalloped border punch, white taffeta ribbon, Jewelry Tag punch, Vintage Trinkets

The sketch come from this week's Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge SSC191.

The color combo is from ColorLab's Color Challenge #29.
