Colour Me # 14 & Card Concept #7

I know this looks really red almost, but it is definitely an orange.

I sponged the flowers from a stencil, starting with bright orange zest

and then going with a lighter hand and less of the ink for the remaining flowers.

I am entering this in both the colour Me # 14

and Card Concept # 7

I just wanted to show you the card...I was having some editing issues and it would not let me crop or edit this card, so I started all over, but truly the colors are what you are asking for...more pumpkin than red!

 

 

 

Either way, I do like the card and using one color is pretty striking!

stamps:  PTI Wet Paint, Butterfly Dreams

ink:  PTI orange zest

stencil:  MFT spring flowers

 

Friends, I am going to be out of the craft room for almost a week

My husband and I are going to a practice round of the Master's Golf in Augusta, Ga,

That is just one day, then we are going down to Savannah and spend a couple of days, then head to Charleston, SC for another couple of days before we drive up to Atlanta and see some of the sights and explore that city.

So I will be able to play a little bit more today, but if I don't check back in, have a good week and I will see you all sometime during Easter Week!

 

Heart Hugs,

Colour Me # 3

I am just sneaking in under the wire for the Colour MeChallenge ..,not sure how I missed this week's colors earlier on...but now it is done.  I was needing a few more sympathy cards for the stash, so I pulled out Beautiful Butterflies and stamped it in Sweet Blush and memento London fog to get the pink and gray, then I added some Viva Gold Pearl Pen for dots.

the challenge ends tomorrow at noon, so you need to hurry if you want to join in the fun.

 

Have a great Sunday!

Heart Hugs,
