used the first choice for a new color palate.  These are old hero arts stamps and I used Versamark for the flower and leaves.

Today the assignment was a 10 min. card.  i used scraps from a previous project.  It still took me more than 10 minutes!!

This inking technique was very cool.  I used Tim Holtz distress inks.

Summer card Camp 2- pre-class challenges

Finally, I am using this blog again.
I have signed up for this online card class;  I have taken several before but I did not do the first summer camp. There were a couple of pre-class challenges, and I decided to try them.

Challenge #1 color challenge.  I was unsure whether one color was in the peachy-orange family or more of a tomato red.  I tried both.

The stamps are from a new HA set called favorite; the sentiment is from PTI.

Another take- I also used the LO design from the second challenge-  IRL the two oranges are more similar.




OK, for the second challenge, it was a sketch challenge.

I went to town.  Too much fun. My husband thought the card was too plain initially, so I added the color and splotches in the upper right corner.  I 'm not sure it adds anything to the card.



Here's another.






And another- I varied on the original design as time went on!
And here is the final one:

OK, it's a wrap.

This is my maiden voyage into the land of blogdom.

I have been making cards for challenges posted on line, but then rarely post them because I have to link through another site, etc. So, I have launched my own blog.

Ok, this is for challenge #70. Some day I will figure out how to post the template I am following!

This is HA poppies cling stamp- stamped on patterned paper with Versamark and embossed in white. I made masks of the flowers and after applying over original image, I colored the background with distress ink- vintage photo. Sentiment from HA,too.
