Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #5

This card measures 4 x 4 inch and was really quick and easy to make. The background has been stamped in Sahara Sand using the "Well Worn Words' background stamp by Stampin' Up! while the base of the card is in Basic Gray. I love the way these two colours work so well together.

The flower is from the 'Pretties Kit'. These flowers all come white providing endless opportunity to colour coordinate as you see fit. In this case I have dyed the flower by pressing it onto my Sahara Sand Stampin' Pad. I have then added a cream halfback pearl as a finishing touch.

I have had so much fun partaking in this weeks challenge and have since enjoyed checking out what everyone else came up with. To check out the other entries in Karen Giron’s Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, click here.

Keryn's Colour Challenge #6...

This week Keryn's colour challenge uses the following colour combination; Taken with Teal, Tempting Turquoise, Blush Blossom and a Neutral. Although I'm not that keen on the colour combo I decided to give it a go and play along. For my neutral I opted to use Kraft. I also used the 'Embossing Resist' technique Keryn used on her card although I sponged my image quite heavily for added depth.
