This first card is for Mojo Monday #182 for the sketch, Color Throwdown's Challenge #133 to use More Mustard, Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum, Wild Wasabi and Early Espresso and for Stampin' Royalty's Challenge #63 to use dry embossing. I used one of my new SU embossing folders and it has a really deep impression - love it!
Recipe:
Stamps: Petals & Stems, Circular Sayins both from Verve
Papers: Elegant Eggplant, Early Espresso, Perfect Plum, Whisper White all from SU
Inks: Wild Wasabi, More Mustard, Elegant Eggplant, Perfect Plum all from SU
Accessories: More Mustard Grosgrain Ribbon (retired), Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder both from SU, Circle Nestabilities
My next card is for Sweet Sunday's Sketch #109, Truly Scrumptious' Challenge #53 to use a tag and CR84FN20 to use plum, lavender and green. This is the gorgeous swatch for these colours.
And here's my take on these challenges. I know Lily of the Valleys are meant to be white, but I just pretended they were bluebells and coloured them in lavender hehe.
Recipe:
Stamps: Year of Flowers: Lily of the Valley, Delightful Dahlias, Background Basics: Botanicals all from PTI
Papers: Perfect Plum, Gable Green both from SU, Stampers Select White from PTI, DSP from Basic Gray
Inks: Perfect Plum from SU, Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics
Accessories: Doily Lace Border Punch from Martha Stewart, Modern Label Punch from SU, Purple Ribbon from stash, Purple Baker's Twine from Quixotic Paperie
And my final purple card is for Viva La Verve's sketch #4 for March, Free for All Challenge #56 to be inspired by your garden or flowers (I guess all of these cards could qualify for that challenge) and for Play Date Cafe's Challenge #73 to use the colours from the following inspiration swatch. I used lilac, peach and rose red as mine.
And here's my card for it.
Recipe:
Stamps: Take Three Summer from PTI
Papers: Rose Red, Lovely Lilac (retired), Whisper White, Peach Parfait DSP from hostess pack, Sweet & Sour DSP all from SU
Inks: Rose Red, Peach Parfait, Lovely Lilac (retired) all from SU
