SSC#97: Color Challenge

Good morning crafty friends! Today I am sharing a card I made for Sunday Stamps!challenge #97. Here's the challenge:


Isn't this inspirational picture cute?  I love Mr. Fox sticking his head out of the tree.  So darn cute! Unfortunately, I don't have ANY fox image stamps. Go figure?!  So, trying to follow the challenge the best I could, I was left with the tree and the colors.  The ink colors I used were: So Saffron, Black, White and Cajun Craze (to match the fox).  Remember: you can use any shade of colors that ou have on hand that are similar to the photo.

Here's what I came up with:


For the background, I watercolored with So Saffron and Cajun Craze ink refills and added circles using my white craft pad following the Bokeh technique from the Splitcoast Stampers website.   I then stamped images from the Butterfly Basics stamp set in Black and Cajun Craze. The sentiment is from the Hostess Set called Bloom with Hope and the small butterflies are from Papillion Potpourri.  I also inked up the Hardwood background stamp set in Basic Black and stamped that onto a piece of Cajun Craze.

Now it's your turn to head over to Sunday Stamps! and play along!  Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in!  And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom .  For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

 It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo!  I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge.   For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears .  This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous.  For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
