Lovely colors

Welcome to a few new followers. I never remember to say that. I feel like such a blog snob sometimes. I do apologize for that, for without all of you, I may loose my MOJO!

Thank You!

****************************************

I am always intrigued by the colors at the By LoRi Designs Challenge. And since I have a few of her gorgeous images, I def had to participate in this weeks challenge which is this color palette:

 This image set has 3 items (all on my card) & is called Hannah with words. My daughter's name is Hannah (geesh alot of my inspiration for my cards comes from my daughter hey?-lol) so naturally I LOVE the image!

And here are the lovely photo shots where you can see my awful blending! Bleh. Please stay focused on the very first card on the post! LOL I don't do the photoshop editing thing due to the fact that I DON"T OWN photoshop, plus;  it takes away from the ''au natural'' feel of the card with all it's blunders! Bwahhaha!

I used some fabriccy papers (yellow scallop and pink backing) I bought EONS ago, but have since refound. Hidden stash. I LOVE IT!

All the ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbons, even the little piece on the tag. ((PS- RRR is having a 3-day sale- Here's a snippet from their blog: "We have been adding lots of fun new ribbon styles in the last few weeks so now is the perfect time to stop by and take a look.

I used my new MS butterfly punch for my green buterfly & the remainder of that paper is used in the last pic, where you can see the inside of my card. Sentiment on the inside is a sticker!

Three Boys

I have been aching to color up one of Lori's digis FOREVER! Then when I purchased the Help For Katie Digital Stamps Pack #1, this little beauty was inside. This stamp represents the 3 special boys in Katies' life. To read about Katie & ongoing battle to beat cancer click HERE.

There is also a blog set up HERE for fundraising, blog hops & such in support of Katie & her family. This image is the offical badge.

So like i said, Happy as a Clam to color this baby.....to match Lori's challenge (see below). She always has such great color schemes and her DT do amazing work! So I got to it.

With my watercolor pencils, blending stumps & baby oil. Most of the colors are greens, but there are some yellows in there too, just to make the greens pop.

The Live, Laugh, Love piece is chipboard and the green ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbons. I glittered the heart and added some misc sock monkey paper cuz, to me, boys are just a buncha monkeys!

On a side note; there are now 2 digi packages available for purchase at the link above (OR CLICK HERE). They are listed on the sidebar right at the top. If anyone is interested in purchasing  a set, the proceeds go directly to Katie & her family.
