KEEP IT SIMPLE!!
The SUO blog challenge for today is CLEAN and SIMPLE. I’m CLEAN AND SIMPLE challenged. I was pretty happy with this card, but I would have loved it if someone else made it, know what I mean? Ever make a card that’s just not you, but you know if someone else made it you would say I really like that! What’s up with that?? The colors for the SCS color challenge this week are Old Olive, Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon. I made this card firstβ¦.and kept it simple. NO coloring, so sad. I liked it, but I had to go on and color another one for the color challenge. π So down here below the writing is the one I made for the color challenge.
This card is a me card. I love this card. I absolutely love these three colors together. Lost Lagoon is such an awesome new color. I used the Calypso Coral blendabilities and the Old Olive as well. For the Lost Lagoon flowers I stamped them right on the card stock and shaded with a q-tip and the stamp pad. Cut them out, raised them up. π SUCH FUN COLORS, they kind of sing to me. π We are in the midst of getting our house ready to sell. We are going to put it on the market and buy a ranch and have my mom move in with us. Such a bittersweet move. I love my house, I always have and always will. But I think when you do the thing you know you are supposed to do, God will bless that with another house I will love, and we will be blessed in new ways! π All that to say there isn’t much time for stamping lately. But this too shall pass. Maybe God will give me a bigger stamp room. haha. I can dream, right? π okay, Happy Stamping everyone! Until next time, Karen
