Colorful comfort

Hi stampers!  I had a busy day today doing a lot of nothing (working out, shopping, a pedicure, dinner) so I didn't sit down to stamp until late!  And I'm coming in just under the wire again for the Colour Q Challenge!  I thought it was really pretty this week!

I didn't have an idea when I sat down but after looking at some of my stamp sets I settled on Lean on me.  I haven't watercolored in a while and it was fun!  I was wishing I had some of the new sets from the new catalog to work with....but they will be here soon enough, right? :-)  Anyway, I kept it simple and used some retired stuff...because...well....because it's here:-)

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Lean on me
Paper:  Watercolor, crumb cake, night of navy
Ink:  Staz-on, crumb cake, bashful blue, rich razzleberry, night of navy
Accessories:  Labels collection framlits, polka dots embossing folder, rich razzleberry striped ribbon, blashful blue taffeta ribbon

And I'm getting sleepy so I think it's time to sign off:-)

Happy stamping!

Hi stampers and happy Tuesday!  This week over at Hand Stamped Sentiments we have a pretty color challenge for you!  I think color challenges are my favorite of  all the things we do!  I really like when I have to pair colors together that I normally wouldn't or when I find one that I really like!!!!

Take this challenge for example, I would probably never have paired up these color if left to my own devices but they are so pretty together!!!!

I kind of wanted to do another baby card with these (I know...I have baby fever) but thought I should probably give that a rest until we have news, lol!  We'll see how long THAT lasts:-)  I wasn't sure what kind of card this would end up being until I was done but I decided that field flowers would go good with the colors.  I HAD to have this set when the new catalog came out but I've only used it hand full of times if that.

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Field flowers, petite pairs, parlor prints background
Paper:  Crumb cake, very vanilla, rich razzleberry, early espresso
Ink:  Crumb cake, early espresso, rich razzleberry, pretty in pink
Accessories:  Labels collection framelits, linen embossing folder, pretty in pink taffeta ribbon

I think I should have stamped off the pink flower first as it seemed a bit bright but the purple toned it down a bit.  Lots of sponging here too and I'm kind of on a roll with parlor prints.  That's another one I got and then didn't use much!

Now head on over to HSS and check out the rest of the teams creations!

Happy stamping!
