Happy Mother's Day!!!

Ok, I'm a day late and a dollar short, but did you all at least have a good one?? Whether you were being celebrated, or you celebrated yours, I hope it was a fantastic day! I had a good one...I spent pretty much all afternoon stamping. I had a list of challenges (holy cow there are a ton out there) that I wanted to tackle. I wanted to try out a new challenge from Dawn McVey, called the Raspberry Suite Color Challenge. This is actually her fifth challenge and boy does that girl do some knock-down-drag-out beautiful work! I paired it with Jen's SFYTT sketch challenge....that girl does awesome work too!!

Anywho, this is what the two combined sketches merged into.


So the colors I used were Basic Grey, Regal Rose, and Pink Passion. Quite the combo, eh?! And remember those crappy stamps that gave me nothing but headache from Costco? Well, there is a flourish on it that I just LOVE. Of course, the image doesn't ever stamp nice and crisp, so I just went with it. I figured I would go with the imperfectness of the images and let it ride. Both of the images are stamped off because I felt the imperfection of the image looked better as a muted color instead of bold. Yeah, I'm not artistic at all, but just work with me on this!! LOL The greeting is from H&M Stamps Angelic Moments, and of course, that stamps just beautifully. :)

Oh yeah!! Notice the dry embossing on the regal rose piece?? That's a new folder from Quickkutz!! I can't wait to play with it more. heehee

Thanks for stopping in and getting, "in stamping mode!"
