WWC97 - Penny's Sketch Challenge

Penny gave us this sketch to work with this week.

Here is my take on the sketch.

I used the stamp sets Wetlands and Guy Greetings. For the Pool Party panel I ran it through the Big Shot in the Seaside Textured Embossing Folder. Card Stock colors are Very Vanilla, Shimmery White, Pool Party, and Crumb Cake. Ink is Early Espresso.

WWC86 - Gail's Simply Stamping Challenge

This week Gail gave us a Simply Stamping Challenge with a Fall theme. 

Remember that the rules for this challenge are:

"Simply Stamping" is a return to basics. We expect either one single stamped layer or a base with one single layer on that. We expect simple stamping. You can use masking, heat embossing, stencilling, sponging. You cannot use an embossing folder or embellishments or additional layers (not even a tag).

I combined 4 stamp sets for my card, Wetlands, Jar of Haunts, Perpetual Birthday Calendar and Flourishing Phrases.

WWC73 - Gail's Clean & Simple Summer theme Challenge

Gail challenged us to make a clean and simple card with the theme of Summer!

I decided that the Wetlands stamp set was the way to go!

I washed Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, So Saffron & Pool Party Inks across the front top portion on my card, stamped the birds with Soft Suede.  The Happy Birthday is from Birthday Banners stamped with Soft Suede.
