This week we took two "mental health" days from homeschooling....in other words, we all really needed a break ;).....and for me that means therapy/crafting time. As a homeschooling family we don't do "snow days" so we take "mental health" days instead ;).
One of the things I did with my time off was play along with this week's SCS color challenge. I actually made two cards for the challenge so I am going to just share them both with you today :).
My first card sort of looks like a pearl explosion....not sure why I kept adding to it, but I did, so this card has a serious amount of stuff going on LOL!
I don't have SU! colors so I always have to improvise. I found some papers in my stash from Crate Paper called Prudence and paired them up with some Basic Grey Capella. I think it worked pretty well.
The corners and sentiment panel are die cuts which also came from the Prudence paper pack.
| Stamps: Wait on the Lord (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps) |
| Paper: Prudence (Crate Paper), Capella (Basic Grey) |
| Ink: Versafine |
| Accessories: Fancy Tags Die, flowers, LOTS of pearls, Stickles, ribbon |
My second card not only features the color combo but I also used the CPC sketch for this week, too.
The "scenery" on this card was inspired by this card http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...p;ppuser=17703 made by Dina Kowal, although she did a much better job with it. What talent!
I paper pieced the dress and the umbrella.....no easy task, but the end result was quite nice.
| Stamps: Let it Rain (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps) |
| Paper: Prudence (Crate Paper), Capella (Basic Grey) |
| Ink: Copics, Memento, Versafine & Sky (CTMH) for sponging |
| Accessories: pearls, ribbon, border punch, Crystal Lacquer, Nesties |
On a completely different note I did want to share something exciting with you :).....

Both of these cards are stunning! I love them both- great scene on the rain card and love the softness of the other card. Actually the first one reminds me of a card I would make :) Miss you- can't wait for spring so I can come see you!
