Asian Artistry ~ MTSC 62 & CTD 81

Two of my favorite challenges were used for this card today...Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #62 and the Color Throwdown #81 using Old Olive, Pretty in Pink/White & Chocolate Chip.

I inked up the images with my Stampin' Write Markers before stamping on the white cardstock. I just love the organic yet watercolored look of this Asian Artistry stamp set....so versatile with many color schemes.

Asian Artistry ~ CTD 76 & TPE 50

For this bright and cheery card, I used the Color Throwdown #76 with Melon Mambo, So Saffron, and Old Olive...what a delightful combination to lift my spirits. It has been foggy, cloudy, cold, and drizzly...and I miss the sunshine! The layout I used was inspired by The Pink Elephant Sketch Challenge #50.

The floral image and dragonfly were stamped with marker, the dragonfly handcut and adhered over the floral panel. I'm loving the new Scallop Trim Punch from Stampin' Up!, which you can receive free from the Sale-a-bration brochure after every $50 order...what a deal!

Wherever You Go

I was inspired by two talented gals today...the Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper #136, Shannon, and the Inkspiration Inspiration Challenge hostess, Makeesha. My layout is one that I copied from Shannon's amazing gallery...you can see her card HERE. The beautiful color combination came from a display of bedding that Makeesa posted on her blog for the Inkspiration Inspiration Challenge #12.



I inked up and filled in this image from the Asian Artistry hostess stamp set with my Brilliant Blue, Tempting Turquoise & Yoyo Yellow Stampin' Write Markers. The image panel was adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals over a strip of Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper wrapped with a shimmery piece of Whisper White Organza ribbon. The card base is Yoyo Yellow with a Brilliant Blue sentiment placed in the bottom left corner.
