Operation Write Home Sketch 175

I know I have mentioned several times lately that most of the cards I am making now are for Operation Write Home....so this week I thought I would try the Operation Write Home sketch challenge. Here is the sketch:

And here is my card:

I also used a previous color challenge (#179) from ColourQ (Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Kraft and White). I totally love the little wood veneer potty people from Studio Calico. I really need to think of some other uses for them!! The stamps are two sets from Simon Says Stamp - Lots of Hearts and Tilted Banner Sayings.

Thanks for visiting me today!

ColourQ 189

Hello! I made a card this weekend for the ColourQ challenge. This is the color challenge for this week:

 

And this is the card I ended up with. I say it that way because I intended something different (I have a photo of the intended design at the end because I made 2 of them) but I messed up at the end and got a fingerprint of green ink at the top of the one that had stamped better. I cut it down and ended up liking it better this way! (Also, please forgive the splotchy Coral flowers - I don't have the ink pad yet, just the marker.)

 

I used Impression Obsession's Herringbone background stamped in white pigment ink for the background and then stamped Avery Elle's Petal's and Stems using dye ink over the top.

 

This was what I had originally intended the card to look like.

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

ColourQ 188

Hello! I have a card to share today that I made for this week's ColourQ Challenge.

 

I used PTI's Rosie Posie and Rosie Posie Additions and the sentiment is from PTI's Mini Blooms. I also used the Rosie Posie dies. On my first attempt I tried using Calypso Coral for the shading on the Blush flowersbut it was just way too dark, even with some off stamping. For my final version I stamped the shadows using the same color as I used on the flowers and leaves.

Thanks for stopping by today.

 

ColourQ 187 Challenge

Hello! I have made a card today for the ColourQ challenge. These colors were HARD for me! I am pretty sure it is the light purple and pink together! What colors do you have a hard time putting on the same card?

This is the inspiration photo:

 

And here is my card:

 

I used PTI's Happiness in Bloom (sprayed liberally with water before stamping) and A Hero Arts sentiment.
