This is a close-up of my card for the Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #8. I added this because in the picture I posted on my blog, it wasn't as easy to see the details.
This is the purse I got for Mother's Day so I KNEW I would LOVE this Color Challenge! Also take a look at my scrapbooking room to see how much this color combination is a part of my everyday life. http://suelelli.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-very-favorite-room-in-house.htmlHere is this week's Color Challenge:
This is my card for Dawn's Color Challenge. It all started with paper I bought on clearance at Target and never knew what to do with it. The Kraft background with the flocked brown pattern was perfect for a background strip and matched the brown wooden button from PTI.
The stamp set is PTI Out of the Box and the sentiment is from PTI Mixed Messages. I stamped the swirl box with Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder. I thought the Cuttlebug swirl embossing pattern just tied it all together. The cream square was cut and embossed with nestabilities. All paper and ink PTI.
Then I got a little crazy and made two more cards, all with the brown flocked paper! I love how they turned out.
I guess since I'm going to be gone for a month to Florida (taking my son to college and then vacationing at the beach) I thought I'd get this cardmaking out of my system. I won't have ANY supplies with me!
This card has the Cuttlebug script embossing for the background and the stamp set is CTMH Cherish. The paper other than the flocked is PTI and the ink is SU Close to Cocoa and PTI Raspberry Fizz. I stamped over the flower and stem with Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder to make it shiny.
This last card just kind of came together using the same brown flocked paper (I'll be sad when it is all used up!). The stamp set is SU Pocket Silhouettes. I used versamark and clear embossing powder to make the images pop!

Hi Sue! I love all the embossing that you did! It sure gives your flowers a lot of dimension! :) French Script is one embossing folder I am missing-I guess I need that one now! Have a safe trip & enjoy! Are you sure you can't squeeze in a little stampin stuff? :) Take Care, Mona

Love all the color challenge-inspired cards you made. I especially like the last one with the Pocket Silhouettes. Enjoy your time in Florida - lucky you!! :)
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I love your cards, especially the one with the rose. Have fun on the beach. It is going to be hard leaving your son. I did it four times for college, before that boarding school for two, when we lived in Nigeria. Good luck!
