Hi-Ya! Color Challenge

There is a color challenge going on my pink stamper right now, and Ms. Robyn asked for projects made of two hues of blue, two hues of pink and black.

So here is mine work:

The focal tag was on of the decorative tags on gypsy wondering cartridge. I used two hues of blue there.

The cute mushroom was from the gypsy smiley card. I used two kinds of pink on her body. And just want to show my love of pink, I put up a pink button as well.

The sentiment was from papertreyink's hand written note and I really love this stamp set.

Finally, the black. This is when I had to cut a good piece of paper and I made my choice carefully. I finally picked the coredinations' white wash cardstock and use one with the black backing. Then I run it through my cuttlebug to emboss it. Then I found that I used the wrong side of the paper!

The reason this was called white wash is because you can get other colors when sanded through the white cardstock. Otherwise it would be called Black Magic, right?

Darn......

Anyway, I didn't get my expected white pattern through black, not even the black through white either. But this pure and kind of shiny black matting added some earth tone to this fun card. I hope Ms. Robyn will like it and think it was so worth it too, *wink*.

Let's Face It Fridays - Paper Bag Challenge

I just bought my Peachy Keen stamps last week and I love the challenges on their website. Just right for me, wanting to play with my new toys, but don't know what to make.

I actually bought their stamps for the Create a Critter. Everybody loves this cartridge, and same here, and very much. I have made many cuts before and the stamped face brought the cute animals so much life! Love it!

Now back to the challenge.

This IS a challenge to me...First of all, we don't have any lunch bag in the house. Then I thought about the paper bag from Trader Joe's, but those were tooooo big. I was just about to give up before I found this small paper bag from Yankee candle. It looked very like a paper grocery bag and its size is 8 by 8 in., just perfect.

With the help of the beloved Gypsy, I was able to use my piles of scraps for all the elements. And I could also hide the cuts and use the face stamps. It's such an easy and fun project since everything is just from one imagine.

Details:

The penguin was cut at 2.8, and stamped with the medium size face stamp. I felt a large stamp may work too, but I don't own one.

And everything else was cut at 2.5 in. , but the real imagine was not true to the dial size.

The snow house is a bit taller than 2.5 in.

The fish's real size is about 1.5 inch. I wasn't about to cut them at first, since they looked ugly to me on the handbook. But I wanted my cute penguin to at least have some food.......so I cut two and stamped the faces as well. Then they turned to be too cute to be food !

I think that's all for today's challenge project. Oh, I did cut a good paper today...hurt.....sign..... The matting paper was from Joann's 12*12 harvest and holiday stack and was cut at 7.75 by 7.75. Again, I think it's so worth it, *wink* .
