Lavendar Gladiolus



I had a little extra time this week and found a chance to play in two challenges that are new to me. One of them is clean & simple stamping challenge 124. Believe me I NEED this!!! LOL! Most of my stuff takes me way too long to make, so a clean and simple sketch challenge is just the thing to help me out.

I also am very challenged when it comes to colors, I sort of freeze up at a color challenge, so these ought to help me out there as well, at CR84FN12, this week's colors are kraft, lavendar and pink.

Now, cutting out that gladiola did still take a bit of time, so I'm not there yet completely with cutting back, but getting there! Thanks for looking!

Stamps: Papertrey Ink gladiolus, sentiment
Ink: black, purple
Paper: white, kraft, lavendar, pink
Other: cuttlebug embossing folder, Fiskars edge die, prismacolor pencils and gamsol, twinkling H20, stickles

Wow - I remember you saying when that image was released that it was calling your name ... and it looks like you're both still speaking the same language here! Gorgeous work! I love the different elements you've included - like the punched edge - lots of interest despite the C&S inspiration piece!

Gorgeous card Peggysue. I adore the way you colored the glads. I haven't attempted to cut mine out for a card yet. Too lazy for that:) Glad you found the FTL challenges. They are so helpful to me.

Peggy Sue, you are one brave woman to cut those flowers out! But the end result is so STUNNING! LOVE them against the embossed background. Beautiful card! THX for playing with us at CR84FN!
