This pretty color combination is for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge by the talented Michelle Gleeson. I'm so happy she chose them.  I've been in a bit of a rut lately using the same colors over and over!  Old Olive has been one of my favorites for a long time now and I love it paired with Dapper Denim and So Saffron.

I needed a card for my friend's mom who just had surgery.  I decided to use Aqua Painters on Watercolor paper (another thing I can't seem to get away from!).  I used Flourish Thinlits and a sentiment from the Watercolor Wishes Kit.  I hope she likes it!  Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment.

This fun sketch for the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge is by Maggie Mata   I couldn't help playing twice!  I've been wanting to come up with an alternative Paper Pumpkin for the June kit so I started by cutting the striped base and mounted it on Peek-a-boo Peach.   I added a circle in Peek-a-boo Peach envelope paper. Next, I stamped a circle from the kit and then stamped Happy on the Peek-a-Boo Peach.  The last circle is stamped on Sahara Sand and popped with Stampin' Dimensionals.    I then added a bunch of sequins from the Paper Pumpkin kit.

For my second card, I started by embossing the Soft Sky base with Seaside Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and then cut circles out of By the Shore dsp.   I am waiting for the Seaside Shore stamp set to come in, so I improvised by cutting out one of the fish on the dsp. The sentiment is from the Watercolor Wishes kit.  Love that font!  Thanks for stopping by!  Please let me know what you think.

I really enjoyed playing along with the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge by Mary Fish!  These colors are so yummy!  Pool Party is probably my all-time favorite color.  The other two are at the top of my list too.

I used the Botanical Blooms stamp set and Botanical Builder Framelits for this.  I really love how easy it is to make a flower with this set! The sentiment is from the Watercolor Wishes kit. You should check out all of the amazing cards posted by the design team!  Thanks for looking and leaving me a comment.  I truly appreciate it!  

Check out the Watercolor Wishes kit.  It has everything you need in one box!  I truly love the sentiment stamps in this kit. Click to check it out further.

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!).
