Blooming Challenges

Well again I have endeavoured to participate in the Mojo Monday sketch challenge. I get very excited when I see their new sketch each week and very quickly can visualise what I will make and which stamp sets and colours I will use.
This week I was a little slow in making it, but here it is now. This week I let the colours be dictated by Alisa Tilsner, our colour challenge chick, from the ESAD group. When I first heard the colours, I was not too inspired, but I think they have come together beautifully.

Card: Cameo Coral, Riding Hood Red, Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip

Ink: Stazon Black, Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, Versamark

Ribbon: Chocolate Chip 5/8" grograin, Riding Hood Red Taffeta

Punch: Square Scallop

Embellishments: Pretties Kit, Uni-ball Signo Gel Pen

Till next time, enjoy...

Out in Bloom

I have finally found the time to make another card using some of the new sets that are available. I am discovering the joy of watercolouring, using our Blender Pens and Aqua Painters.

Card: Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel and Old Olive

Ink: Basic Black

Watercolour crayons: Ruby Red and Old Olive

Ribbon: Double sided satin ribbon in Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla

Embellishments: Vintage Brads and Stampin Dimensionals

Punches: 1/2" circle

Stamp sets: Bloom Away, Window Dressing (hostess set)

I also used a cricut expression machine to cut a 1 3/4" circle, which I then cut in half.
