SPCC #72...Tickled Pink.

Hi everyone-

****This is a scheduled message, as I am still on vacation!!***


I hope that you had a fantastic weekend and that you did not eat tons of candy yesterday!!!
Today I have another color challenge for you, from Scrapmaster's Paradise.

I love this weeks color combo, and here is my card:


And here is this weeks color combo:

I used Heidi Swapp Invisibles! Paper.  If you have never seen these before they are great. 

They already come with a glossy print printed n the paper and you can apply paint, inks, or colorwash, to make the image pop.  I used distressed inks for my background. 

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

The Crazy Challenge #39: Swirls and Pearls

Lexi's Creations Challenge #26: Anything Goes

One Stop Craft Challenge #104: Anything Goes

Aly's Sunday Sketch Challenge #28: Distressed

Thank you for visiting today and I hope that you will join us this week and there is a great prize up for grabs this week. 

Hugs,

SPCC #71....I miss you.

Good day everyone-

****This is a scheduled message, as I am still on vacation!!!****

I really like these colors but didn't want to make them into a fall card, since that is what the color combo this week reminds me of. So I made a, I miss you card instead.
I think it came out really well and I didn't even use white!!!! Yeah for me!!!
So here is the card I made with this weeks SP Color challenge.



And here is this weeks color challenge combo:

SPCC #68.....Enjoy!

Hi everyone,
This was another difficult color challenge for me.  The colors look Halloweenish, but I just couldn't wrap my thought around a creation.  So I started browsing and found a tutorial by the famous and very talented Jennifer McGuire on using alcohol inks.  I had these but never got around to using them....so I did.

Here is what I came up with:

And here is this weeks color challenge:

I had a great time creating this card and learning a new technique, which I will be using again real soon!!

So I hope that you will join us this week over at Scrapmasters Paradise and I can't wait to see what you create.


Hugs,
Calypso

SPCC#63....Thinking of you.

Hello blogging buddies.
This post is a little late, but we have lots of action going on at the house.
I guess better late than never.....RIGHT?!?!?!

This is the card I created for this weeks Scrapmasters Color Combo Challenge.

The card is very simple but, the colors are very pretty. 
I hope that you will take the challenge and use these colors in your next project this week.

Thanks for stopping.

Hugs,
Calypso
