So for todays challenge, we had to go to each of the designers, roll the dice to determine our numbers (1-6) and see what you get
For my cards I got
Color Selection #1 Harvest Gold
Color Se;ection #2 Razberry Fizz
Color Selection #3 Melon Berry
Neutral Selection True Black
Occassion Selection Thank you
Technique Selection Watercolor
Embelishment Selection Button
Fiber Selection Embriodery Floss
Sketch Selection was #4 (see above)
So I used the melon berry on the top and used a Impression Obession Cover-all stamp FIZZ to give it some texture. I used the confetti garland die to cut out the Harvest Gold and used the matching stamp set to stamp it with back. Since I did not have any embroidery floss that matched, I dyed white floss with the melon berry stamp pad! I ran the floss thru 3 true black Papertery Ink buttons along the garland. I stamped a Thank You with the papertrey Ink Think Big Favorites #19 Stamp and watercolored the image with Anna Griffin water color markers. Using a spellbinder circle and scallop circle die I was able to cut out the circle and framed it.
Enjoy

OK, I really struggled to do this…. my creativity was a little off today. It took me all day to make two cards. But I guess that happens to all of us at one time or another. So I reached into my box of papertrey ink dies and pulled out the Framed Out Die #12. It reminded me of a little polaroid. So I took some striped paper and paper that looked like frames and made the card. However I needed something to put in the frames. I remembered that some of my October Afternoon paper had some little kids, so here they are!!!
From my stash was some flowers from K&Co. and added to the top of the stripes. Wha-LA!!! Done!
Thanks for looking!!!!

Todays challenge is using stripes. I thought I would take a twist and make plaid from a single stripe stamp (Mama Elephant stripe set) So I am channeling my inner Laura Bassen. Laura loves to make plaid using a single stripe. I had always wanted to try this so I became Laura and stamped away….OK not the best Laura because there were mistakes. But I am sure the first time she also made errors. I used Papertrey Ink colors Scarlet Jewel, Pure Poppy, Summer Sunrise, Limeaid, New Leaf. I also used the Love die from the Papertrey Ink One Liner Die set.
Thanks for looking!
