Color Inspiration #48 and a "Hi" card

This is the card I came up with for this week's Color Inspiration challenge over at Kristina's blog. I just received an order from Stampin' Up with the new Stampin' Up Big Bold Cupcakes sizzlit 4-pack dies and the Sweet Little Sentiments stamp set. I thought this was a perfect opportunity to try out my new stuff!

This card was created last night. I found this stack of paper by Black Market Paper Society at my LSS. I free hand cut the flower out of one of the sheets of paper. The 'hi' is shimmery chipboard from Scrapworks.

Isn't it Spring?

This is the weather in Oklahoma today...

Color Inspiration #44

Sorry I skipped last weeks Color Inspiration challenge. I didn't have one of the colors she listed and I know you don't have to use them all but I had a very hard time with the combination as a whole. But never fear, I'm back for this weeks challenge! This challenge is using my favorite color combinations:

And here is my take:

I really need a new camera or something...I had a hard time getting a decent picture of this card. Anywho, ENJOY!

And here is my take...

Color Inspiration #41

I have seemed to of lost my creativeness lately. I figured the best way to spark it again, is to participate in various challenges. I am a frequent visitor to Kristina Warner's blog and thought I'd start with her Color Inspiration challenges. This week's challenge is this:

Kristina mentioned about possible Valentine's Day cards out of these color combinations. For those that know me, Valentine's Day is my least favorite holiday. I was in need of 2 cards so I used this as my opportunity. Here is what I came up with:

For this card, I used Riding Hood Red SU cardstock as my base, Basic Gray SU cardstock embossed with Diving Swirls folder in my Cuttlebug, Studio G stamp on Whisper White SU cardstock, and Basic Black SU 1/4" ribbon.

For this card I used Basic Gray SU cardstock as my base, Riding Hood Red SU cardstock stamped with a Studio G clear stamp using a Versamark ink pad, Basic Black SU 1/4" ribbon. I didn't use Whisper White on the front of this card but there is Whisper White on the inside.
