SSDS Week 18 ~ Color Challenge

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far. No big plans here...hoping to finish putting up the Christmas decorations and maybe get in a little shopping!

It is time for another awesome challenge from Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturday! This week we have a FUN color challenge for you ~ Pink, Purple and Green!

I have been wanting to ink up this sentiment stamp from DRS Designs for weeks. I used Memento Tuxedo ink to stamp the "Hello" sentiment onto notebook paper and used the notebook paper edge punch. I promise the background paper is really purple. I have no idea why my camera always makes purple look blue (any suggestions?).

To join in on the fun and be eligible for this weeks fabulous prize and check out all the fabulous creations from the Design Team. Head over to the SSDS blog and link your creation to Mr. Linky by 10:00 pm (EST) Friday evening.

Thanks for stopping by,

Afternoon all! Hope everyone is having a pleasant day! It is another hot one in Ohio today. We have had a pretty mild summer but now it is starting to feel like August!!

I was in need of a sympathy card today for my BIL's fiancee. Her grandfather passed away on Monday.

I used Versamark to stamp the flower on the Ocean Tide CS and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I stamped the flower again in Ocean Tide ink for the main image and the sentiment was stamped directly over this on Memento Tuxedo Black.

Well I am off to the store. I thought we had all the school shopping done but of course there are a couple things we forgot!!

With Sympathy

Hey all! Wow...what a week, I am so glad it is Friday!! My son has a soccer tournament all weekend so today will probably be the only chance I get to spend any time in my craft room. I have been making the invitations for my brother-in-laws wedding and have 200 of 300 completed so I was relieved to make a card that was not wedding related!!

This card is for three challenges, Splitcoast Stampers WT223-Texting Challenge and LSC225-International Flair Challenge and Stamp Something's Black, White, and one other color somethings Challenge

I find that Sympathy Cards are always the hardest to make and this one was no exception!! Still not sure about all the components especially the bow but I do love the colors. The base is Ocean Tides cardstock from PTI. The text is actually a few words of sympathy typed in the Love Light font and translated into French and printed onto Ocean Tide cardstock in a slightly darker shade. I cut the half circle using my Fiskars Circle Cutter. I used a layer of black cs and PTI Vellum cardstock under the Ocean Tide satin ribbon.
