This weekend has been so wonderful! First, three day weekends are just grande; love having that extra day to just relax! Second, my hubby is working on an art project so a lot of the time while I am scrapping, he is painting… so needless to say, I am truly enjoying being able to share that time with him. And lastly, this week, Dawn McVey challenged us to use a truly gorgeous color combo {ORANGE-GOLD, CREAM, CHOCOLATE AND KRAFT} and I have fallen in love with my result! It has been a while since I have loved a color combo this much and I really want to sit down and do more soon {without over-doing it, of course}.
Each of these cards uses a different sketch plus one other challenge that is out there in blog-land. The first card uses Sketch 3 from Cardvaarks as well as A Spoon Full of Sugar’s Challenge to use Distressing. I simply sponged some chocolate ink around the edges of the cream paper to make it pop off of the kraft paper some more.
The 2nd Card uses this week’s 2 Sketches 4 You Sketch, along with the ABC Challenge to use Circles. I am sure you can find enough circles on this one to qualify :)
The final card uses this week’s CPS Card Sketch with Practical Stampers challenge to use Stamps and Stamp Simply’s challenge to have an Overstamped Sentiment (where you stamp the Sentiment over another stamped image.
ALL PRODUCTS USED ON THESE THREE CARDS ARE PAPERTREY INK — Minus the Pearls, Buttons and Ribbon. Hope you enjoyed and cant wait to see what everyone else created on this long weekend!! Happy creating!
