Color Throwdown November 11, 2009

I participated in a different kind of challenge today. The challenge was a Color Throwdown. The colors were Real Red, Crushed Curry, Only Orange and some dark neutral (I chose Basic Gray.)

I wanted to use a set that I don't use very often, and I wanted to use the design sketch from the Sudsol challenge.

Here is what I came up with.

 

Interesting colors for a Christmas card, but I think it works.

Have fun and make some of your own Christmas cards :)

LateNightStampers Challenge #44

This week's challenge...brought to you my myself and Sandi MacIver is a challenge to make a masculine card.

Here is the card I shared on Monday. It uses Naturals White and Brilliant Blue. The stamp set is called "Sporting" and the background stamp is "Sanded". Being in Colt Country I thought it would be a great card for a party invitation.

 

And, here is the next card I made for this challenge. I used Shimmery White cardstock, which is so beautiful in person. The background was made with the "Petals a Plenty" impressions folder and the stamp is "Dasher".

I very lightly went around the edges of the Dasher main image with my Handsome Hunter Stampin' Write marker.

Let me know if you make some masculine cards. I would love to be able to see your creations.
