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*.

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 42 :: Emboss Its

I made the beer mug first using the cricut smiley cards cartridge on Gypsy. The face was hided and then stamped with a Peachy Keen face Stamp. And the foam was embossed with the cuttlebug folder. Since I used the white wash paper from Coredinations, so it has a purple hue after sanded.

I wanted to make a card to enter this challenge, so I cut two tag at different sizes from the songbird cartridge. I used the big one for the focal image and the small one for the sentiment. And the stamp is from Papertreyink's Handwritten notes. I then embossed the big tag as well using the same embossing folder.

Everything was cut using my scraps, except the matting paper, which is from PapertreyInk's distressed dots. It's always painful for me to cut a piece of new paper, but I think it's so worth it. ^-^
