Another challenge

Kwerner over at www.kwernerdesign.com has put up another challenge. Use the colors regal rose, purely pomegranate, wild wasabi, river rock, and whisper white. So, I am taking up the challenge. I had so much fun I came up with two cards!

I have used the Live your Dreams stamp set from the Stampin' Up! mini catalog. Everything I have used is from SU! I have added a little bit of dazzling diamonds glitter with my 2 way glue pen just to give the cards a little pop. I didn't have any of the wide grosgrain ribbon, but wanted the width of it. So, I used my narrow regal rose grosgrain ribbon and just did two strips of it. Easy way to get a lot of miles out of ribbon. This card is 5 ¼ by 5 ¼. It is fun to do a different size once in awhile.

Here I have used the Embrace Life stamp set and the paisley background stamp. I guess I added in some words from One of a Kind as well. I stamped the flower with wild wasabi. Then, I went back and colored the flower in with regal rose. I added a little color using my aquapainter and some purely pomegranate ink. I stamped the paisley background stamp using regal rose ink. I stamped it on whisper white cardstock. I really like how it turned out.

I am offering both of these cards for sale. They will be totally finished and assembled. Each card will come with its own Stampin' Up! envelope. The Embrace Life card is $4.50 and the Embrace Life card is $4. E-mail me to order. There is no shipping charge. Let me know how many of each you like and I'll get them stamped, assembled and in the mail. Orders will be completed in the order they are received.

I hope you enjoyed these cards. Just a couple of things here. It is now the 26^th of June. There are only 30 days in June. The mini catalog ends on June 30 (the Live your Dreams set from above is in the mini catalog). Call me today to get your order in. The mini catalog is on my website at www.stampinsandy.com.

Also, Stampin' Up!'s two promotions, eSCAPE and Fresh Cuts, also end on June 30. You do not want to do with out either of these. The eSCAPE bundle is a 25% savings. That is AWESOME. The Fresh Cut is a newly released stamp set with some awesome 4 x 4 laser cut cards. The stamp set is $21.95 and the cards are $5. Both of these promos are also on my website, www.stampinsandy.com.
