Kristina's color challenge No 38

Hi Ladies. Its that time again. Kristina Werner's color challenge.This weeks colours are ruby red, pumpkin pie, pretty in pink, whisper white I really enjoy these colour challenges. I have to say I found this colour combination difficult, but that's what these challenges are all about. Going outside your comfort zone. The most frustrating thing for me this week is that I know I have new stamp sets and punches on the way and kept thinking what I could have done if I had them. I can't wait to get the scallop edge punch. Here is my challenge entry.


Recipe:
stamp set: eat cake
card/ink: ruby red, pumpkin pie, pretty pink, whisper white
accessories: pumpkin pie ribbon

Thanks for stopping by. Let me know what you think.

Another Friday

Happy Friday. Gosh it has been a week since I last posted. This week has flown by. I am glad it's Friday. Our team the creative inkers are getting together tomorrow morning for a team meeting and swap. It's been a while since we all got together, so it will be good to catch up with the girls. This theme for this swap was children's cards which was great for me because that's all I have been making over the last few weeks. This is what I made for the swap.

Supplies

Stamp set: Garden Whimsey, so swirly Card/Ink: regal rose, so saffron, certainly celery

This swap I decided to go for nice and simple. I just love the so swirly wheel.

The next card I have to show today is super girly, very pink and pretty. It is a card my daughter would have loved when she was in her pink stage.

More childrens cards

Happy Friday. I have another round of childrens cards tonight. I have been having fun making nice simple cards. I seem to be making a lot of boy cards so will have to try for some girly ones with lots of pink and glitter. Our team the creative inkers are doing childrens cards for our swap this month so I am will have to think up something special for that.

My first two cards tonight use lots of bright colours and of course the eat cake set. Its just perfect for a child's card.

Supplies stamp set: Eat cake, card/ink: yoyo yellow, tempting turquoise, only orange, real red, basic black

Supplies stamp set: eat cake. card/ink: gable green, real red, yoyo yellow, only orange, tempting turquoise, accessories: corner rounder punch, certainly celery ribbon.

I was really please with how the next two cards turned out. I haven't used wild about you for a while and I have often used it for baby cards. This time I decided to go outside my comfort zone, almost all of the colours are from earth elements. What do you think?

Challenge entry for NZSU Blog

Well it has been a busy week for me this week. Back to work after 2 1/2 weeks holiday. It has been a challenge to get myself and the kids away on time. I think we are all still a little bit on Australia time as both the kids and I have been waking up really late . But they have really enjoyed their time at the holiday program and I have survived my first week back at work, thank goodness I only work part time and boy am I looking forward to a wee sleep in tomorrow morning, so I haven't posted much this week. My first card is an entry in the May challenge for Trudi at NZSU Blog . The challenge is to create a project using new designer series paper. I have used the petals & paisley designer series paper, I also just received my scallop punch and photo corner punch so of course I had to try them out. I also have just learnt how to write text on my photos thanks to Trudi, she has instructions on her blog www.madebyme79.blogspot.com on how to add. Thanks so much for this Trudi, I have been trying to figure out how to do it, so your tutorial was very helpful.

Supplies

Stamp Set: Eat Cake

Card//Markers: Mellow Moss, So Saffron, Pretty In Pink, Whisper White, petals & paisley designer series paper

Accessories: Pretty in Pink ribbon, 1/4" circle punch, 3/8" circle punch, scallop punch, photo corner punch

Caitlin's Birthday card

It is my daughter Caitlin's 8th birthday tomorrow. And Caitlin being Caitlin, she told me exactly what colours she wanted me to use for her card. She was very specific about not using pink, which is very difficult for me with pink being one of my favourite colours. But I have pandered to her and used the colour combination she requested but I think I have still kept it quite girly. I was quite happy with how the card turned out. I hope she likes it.

Supplies

Stamp set: Eat cake

Card/ink: bashful blue, gable green, lovely lilac

Access: Punches, markers, brads, ribbons

Well I better be off now. I have spent a good part of the day playing around with this new blog writer, still a few glitches to sort out, but not to bad. Karen you will be impressed. I have done these last three blogs without any help. I now have to go and wrap a few presents and tidy up my craft room. I can't believe how much mess I have made over the last couple of days now I can't find anything.
