Watercooler Wednesday Challenge 107 - Penny's Masculine Challenge

It was Penny's turn to challenge us this week!

I love when we have a masculine challenge, it makes me stop and think a little more than my average cards does.  Birthdays and weddings are the easiest for me to make and they seem to be the ones I use and sell the most of, but every now and then the men in our lives need a card.

I used Very Vanilla and Pacific Point cardstock and colored the images from "Nailed It" with the new watercolor pencils. I ran a 1" strip of Silver Foil Sheet through the Big Shot in the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Wacky Watercooler Spring Fever Blog Hop

Welcome! Our Blog Hop runs in a circular fashion.  No matter where you begin, you'll wind up back in the exact same place again if you keep going to the "next" blog.  It works the same way whether you do the usual forward through the blog posts or if you work your way through in reverse order. If this wasn't your first stop then you might have come from my friend Penny's Blog. Penny's projects always makes me happy.

I don't know about you but I'm ready for spring! Here are some projects that feel like spring.

This card is Watermelon Wonder, Cool Cucumber, and Whisper White. I used the stamp sets Watercolor Wishes and Touches of Texture. I also used Stylish Stems Framelits.

I used Pool Party, Basic Black and Whisper White. I used the Sale a bration DSP call Inside the lines. I used the Detailed Dragon Fly Thinlits as well as the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I used WatercolorWishes for this card too.

I used Soft Sky, Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Island Indigo, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate and Whisper White. I used the Lift Me Up bundle for this card.

So there are my thoughts of spring! Now it time to hope on to Marsha's blog and see her creations.

Watercooler Wednesday Challenge 105 - Marsha's Color Challenge

Marsha gave us this picture as our color challenge.

I ended up making my card twice, my computer showed the colors a little off so after Marsha told me the colors I redid the card.  So if you want to know the colors in Stampin' UP! colors left to right, I would suggest the colors of Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride, Peekaboo Peach, Rich Razzleberry, Emerald Envy (since we don't have a current dark green) and Mint Macaron.

I used a Sale a bration stamp set called "Avant Garden" as well as "Watercolor Wishes". I used Very Vanilla, Mint Macron and Blushing Bride card stock and Blushing Bride, Peekaboo Peach, Mint Macron and Emerald Envy ink.
