May '16 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

Here are two more cards I made using the negative from the May 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit.  I decided to make a masculine version by adding the Timeless Textures stamp set.  Let me know what you think!  Then I used retired designer series paper to make the second one.

I'm in love with this color combination by the talented Rae Harper!  I kept it simple this week as I just returned from a cruise and I was short on time.  I used Garden in Bloom and TimelessTextures.  I love these two versatile sets!  Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment!

Global Design Project #029

I saw this color combo for the Global Design Project and had to try it!  I stamped the cute bicycle from Sale-a-Bration, Pedal Pusher, in Early Espresso on Shimmery White cardstock, and colored in with blender pens.  The background is the Decorative Dots Textured Embossing Folder.  I used a sentiment from Greatest Greetings.  Love this font!!  I also stamped some "gravel" with Timeless Textures.  I tied some Linen Thread with the Bermuda Bay 1/8" stitched ribbon.  Please let me know what you think!

Don't laugh!  I would never choose this color combination but my son LOVES brown and purple and he is turning 30.  Yes, I feel old!  This sketch by Beth Beard was a bit of a challenge for me, but it was fun!  I wish I had dsp in Elegant Eggplant.  I ended up stamping the Happy randomly.  I know my son will love it because he's very artsy and loves textures and doesn't like everything perfectly straight.  

I used the Number of Years bundle from the Occasions 2016 catalog.  This set is so versatile!  It can be used for birthday, anniversary, on a scrapbook layout, etc.  So happy I purchased it!  Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment!

Ok, I have to admit that I'm a creature of habit.  I made two for this pretty color challenge by Lynn Hoyt.  I always seem to do that.  I love these colors together and needed several cards, so I went for it!  I inked up some new stamps (love this bundle!!) and scratched two cards off my list.  Let me know what you think and please join us if you can at  Pals Paper Arts.  (I used a sentiment from the Watercolor Wishes kit and Timeless Textures on the second card and forgot to list it!).

I made this for the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge.  I love the sketch, but had a little difficulty with it.  I am not great at cutting angles!  It was a tiny bit off so I just cut a strip of  Hello Honey to put over it.  And, yes, I realized after I used Hello Honey, that the dsp lists Delightful Dijon.  Oh well, it doesn't look too off, does it?!   The card is a thank you for a male host for a class I recently had.  You should go over and see what the other designers came up with!  They're awesome.
