Soft Romantic Colors

***This card won Honorable Mention***

Thought I try my hand with a TWO color palette challenge at Dynamic Duos.  Everyone is familiar with color challenges that are THREE or more colors. It is really a challenge to limit your choices to TWO colors. Here is my attempt for this challenge.

The headline in today's newspaper reads: "HEAT WAVE 2012....We need rain, we need rain..." With the lack of rain in mind, I thought I would create a "RAIN" card. The stamps are from SWALK and the bg stamp is Hero Arts (highlighted with a Sakura Stardust pen). The top part of paper pieced umbrella uses paper from a Heidi Grace pad. A clear POP Dot was used under the umbrella to give it more dimension. Copic markers were used to color the image and Glossy Accents were used in the puddle and on the rain drops.

This is the color palette that was used to create my card. Grab some papers and give this two color challenge a try....It is a fun to try a duo challenge.

Take Flight

This will be a quick posting :-(  My DH has been in the hospital for some tests again this week. This current test last for 48 hrs, another 24 to go! We will be so happy when this is over. Enough about medical stuff, here's a card that I made for Freshly Made Sketches.

The sketch was turned on it's side...just like me...trying to get some sleep! Notice the bg paper, it has bi-planes on it just like the Hero Arts Stamped & embossed image. Gotta love it when I plan comes together especially when you have limited time to create.

I love this embossing powder it is called Golden Sand. I think it is great for this 'man' card. YEAH another one to add to my men's basket.


This is the great FMS sketch designed by Tui.

I'll be around to visit all my wonderful blogging friends later this evening.
