Swiftly Created Challenge #5

Tegan at Swiftly Created has been busy with school lately, but she still found a few minutes to challenge us. Her inspiration picture was so beachy - as you can see - so I wanted to use my Summertime Fun set by CC Designs.

Colors include: Very Vanilla, Ballet Blue, Bashful Blue, Real Red and Tempting Turquoise

It also gave me a chance to play with the sketch challenge (#14) over at the "All That Scraps" Blog. 

Here is how my intrepretation of the colors from Tegans Challenge and how I used ATS sketch.

Swiftly Created Challenge #4

As promised here is one of the cards I made while playing with Alexa in our craft room yesterday. This one is for Tegan's Swiftly Created Blog Challenge #4. She made up a sketch this time around and I was really surprised how easily this card came about. Here it is in all it's glory! Enjoy!

Swiftly Created Challenge #3

Tegan set up another color challenge over at her blog Swiftly Created - and boy was this a BIG one. Here is the picture she choose - love the umbrella, just not the six colors - WOW! 

Colors include: Groovy Guava, Certainly Celery, Close to Cocoa, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise and Going Gray

I had this idea to weave the colors, but I just couldn't get it to work out the way I wanted, so I created my own striped paper and added the strip across the middle for the sentiment. I think it turned out ok - nothing spectacular. Sorry the picture is so dark - it's overcast here today. Enjoy!

Stamps: SU Short & Sweet              Inks: Basic Black

Paper:Groovy Guava, Certainly Celery, Close to Cocoa, Pumpkin Pie, 

Tempting Turquoise and Going Gray

Swiftly Created Challenge #2

I love a good color challenge and when I saw that Tegan was doing one I knew that I wanted to play along. You can find all the information for her challenge HERE.

Here is the picture she chose. After careful contemplation, I decided that the colors closely resemble these Stampin' Up! colors:

Tempting Turquoise, Certainly Celery,

Sahara Sand, Basic Black

and Whisper White

Combining those colors with my CC Designs stamp set - Summertime Fun, I came up with this card. Enjoy!
