Taken with Temptation

Hehe what a daft title I came up with there. All of these cards use either Taken with Teal (retired SU colour) or Tempting Turquoise. I actually really like both of these colours, but don't tend to go for them very often. Not sure why!

Anyway this first card is for Play Date Cafe's Challenge #94 to use fudge (Chocolate Chip), Goldenrod (reminds me of a name for a racing car, but I used Crushed Curry) and Teal (yep got that one!). I used old Taylored Expression Cupcake Challenge #7 for the sketch and am also entering it into Cupcake Craft's Challenge #154 Sew Mad (yes I did hand-stitch all those crosses and boy did it take forever!) and Cute Card Thursday's Challenge #177 to make a clean and simple card. This is as clean and simple as I can go! Here's the swatch for Play Date Cafe's Challenge...

And here's my take on it...

Recipe:


Stamps: Piece of Cake, Think Big Favorites #1 both from PTI

Inks: Chocolate Chip, Taken With Teal (retired), Crushed Curry (retired)


Accessories: Icicle Stickles, Brown Embroidery Thread from stash, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder from Cuttlebug

My next card is for Stampin' Royalty's Challenge #84 which was an inspiration challenge using this photo. I also used old Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #120. I used the bird, colours and all the white wooden window frames for my inspiration.

And here's my take on it...
