I am back again today with two more challenges combined into one card.  The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches and the color combo is from Color Throwdown.

I really like the You're Sublime stamp set.  I cut all the words off so that I can use that pictures and words on their own.

I am back trying a new challenge today over at TGIF.  Its call TGIF throw-down it is kinda like Chopped the cooking show.

I have a pantry of items, that I can use (my staples):

Then comes the challenge you can only use at least four items out

 the next basket which will change each month.

This is my card I came up with:

I used the stripe in the Work of Art stamp set, you can't really tell but I spritzed Blushing Bride Reinker on the Whisper White card.  I used the Butterfly Thinlits, the larger butterfly.  I used a small Gold Foil Doilies for the center of the butterfly and wrapped white bakers twine around the middle.  I sponged the butterfly with blackberry bliss.  This was fun challenge I look forward to next months!

So what do you think?

Cards from my last class

Today I have some of the cards that we made at my last Create a Stack card class.

I really love this color combo, it's Crumb Cake, Soft Sky,

 Watermelon Wonder and Silver on the balloons.

This is a very simple but elegant wedding card all in Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla.

This is card has no layering really.  It was on stamped on Whisper White layer on a Whisper White base.

I really didn't have any graduation stamps, so I just made a cap out of a square. 

 But I did have the words.

I love the background paper I made.  I used Typeset DSP it has graph paper in it,

 then I randomly stamped the passport and suitcase on it.

Thanks for stopping by!

I have stumbled across a brand new challenge blog that looks to be a fun one, it's call Stamp ink Paper.

The first challenge was card makers choice.

This is the card I came up with:

My base is Lost Lagoon, layered with Natural Vanilla.  I used Lost Lagoon, Early Espresso,
