Color Challenge #169
Sketch Card Challenge #179
I am still here; I just have not posted in almost a week. It's
the little everyday ( but you must do it) things that kept me from doing what I love most and that is a little bit of stamping time.
Today is just one of those days...I started doing the sketch early this AM, but have to stop because of a stamping class that I did. I finally finished it although the colors seemed off. The Real Red color looked more like bright red orange.
I used the Circle Cutter to create the flower and slit punch for the flowers. I added the scallops for the bottom, too. I love the way the CB folder turned out. I used the White Gel pen to create the dots around the flower and scallop.

Thanks for looking.

today's color challenge- Blue Bayou, Soft Sky and Certainly Celery. I did something similar on my swap and I posted it yesterday except the colors I used were Blue Bayou,Soft Sky and Old Olive. I am going to missed Blue Bayou and Soft Sky when they discontinue them. How about you?
I stamped the main image on Black and colored the flowers in Soft Sky. I added a touch of Stickles. The Nesties made a really nice frame especially after I added the dots.
