Good Morning All,
Well, I have done it again – another challenge!  It is not like I have nothing better to do!  Oh wait!  I don’t, as I am in Brissie, but hopefully not for much longer.
Sketch # 13
My Card
Supplies –
Cardstock – Whisper White, Basic Black
Stamp Set – Oval All – Retired
DSP – Urban Oasis
Accessories – Pretties Kit – Pearl & Flower, Sanil Adhesive
Punches – Scallop Oval – Retired, Small Oval, 3/4″ Circle
I’ve embossed the white with my Cuttlebug, which gives it a bit of a different look.  Thought about introducing red into the scheme of things, but kept to the basic black & white!
I am really forcing myself to start using the DSP, but they are just so lovely that I don’t want to “hurt” them!
“Urban Oasis”
Until next time – Enjoy

Afternoon Stampers,
Hope you all had a great Christmas & ready for the New Year!
I’ve just completed a challenge which I wasn’t going to do, but it just got the better of me.  Hope you like it!  Why not have a go yourselves.  They are great if you are stuck for inspiration.

Ink – Basic Black, Pacific, Kiwi Kiss
Punch – Small Oval

I was going to go with Valentine’s, but as it is a couple of months away, thought I would do a general card and use completely different colours to what I usually play with, especially Black.

Challenge – TSSC101

Published on by Vicky Wright1 Comment
Hello Stampers,
I have finally manged to get home – for a couple of hours – chasing up stuff, etc & then on my way again!
I did this challenge late last night when it come through.  Not exacly what I had planed but still I am happy with it – maybe????
Card Sample
Supplies –
Stamp Set – Always
Cardstock – Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red
DSP – Walk in the Park – Retired
Ink – Pink Pirouette, Going Gray
Punches – 1 3/8″ Circle, 1 1/4″ Circle, 1/2″ Circle
Accessories – Snail Adhesive, Dimensionals, Pretties Kit

All in all this turned out to be a very easy 5 minute card, ie once I knew what colours I was going to use.  I have just realised that the DSP is not current, although it can always be replaced with one of the lovely current Designer Papers. 

To lift the card a little, I added the small gray flower inside the “Always”.
  It looked a little dull prior to that & I didn’t want to used Dazzling Diamonds.  I seem to be overloading on that stuff at the moment!

I have tried to vere away from the traditional colours of Valentine – to a certain extent I have! 
Until next time, Happy Stampin’
Vicky
