I dig color challenges!

Finally feeling better this week and was able to find time to make this card last night - I had so much fun doing the color challenge I did before I decided to do another one with the play date cafe blog. The colors were Stone, Buttercream and Denim.... I used Stampin' Up colors -- Not quite Navy, Basic Gray and So Saffron along with the set I dig you.

Here's a close-up -- I also added some bakers twine just because :)

A color Challenge!

When I said I wanted to do challenges did you think I could do two in one week? I told you I was on a roll - I'm rockin' the stamp room this week at my house!! Today I'm sharing a card I made using the color combo challenge from the Play Date Cafe Blog! I was inspired by this pretty color combo and wanted to try it out. Here's the combo they posted for the challenge:

And here is my card. I didn't have exactly the right colors - my mint is a little more blue but it's close, I think! I chose to use the stamp set By the Tide to create this card since I thought the colors had a bit of a beachy feel.

I love the fancy fan embossing folder used as a background on this - i think it sort of mirrors the look of fish scales! I also added on some bakers twine and a pretty button from the Sale-a-Bration Sycamore Street ribbon and button pack. These buttons are so cute!
