Throwing Down Some Colour.

By
Hello folks - hope everyone is O.K today and enjoying the gorgeous sunshine. I am. I even did some more gardening - that is twice now this year. I think I must be coming down with something, this is most unlike me! I am even typing this post with stung and bitten fingers ( I found a massive ants nest!).
This card is going to be entered into two challenges today the first is Color Throwdown and the challenge was to use these three colours:

This is my card:

All the materials are Stampin' Up: (except the sentiment, scallop punch + sentiment ink)
Card stock - Very Vanilla + Bordering Blue
Stamp sets - Flight of the Butterfly + Pocket Silhouettes
Inks - Almost Amethyst, Sage Shadow + Bordering Blue
Punches - Butterfly + Scallop Edge

I would also like to enter this card into the Paper Play Challenges which this week asks for cards without patterned paper.
Am going to rest my poor bitten fingers now and try to deaden the pain with a glass of red wine or two!!
See you soon - Jacqueline xx.

    Oh my, I think you SHOULD rest your fingers and stay out of the garden for a while....stamping is good to do while you recuperate! I think this is a lovely example of an easel card---and I think this SU stamp set is one of my favs!

    Very very pretty card, Jacqueline - the colours are gorgeous, and the pattern you've made with the stamps against the white is so lovely.

    Thanks for joining us on PaperPlay this week.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making.
