For this month, the challenge theme I chose is

Colorful Creations

You don't have to use all colors of the rainbow, just as long as there are at least two different colors used on your project, it's good to go :-)

Feel free to use any stamp maker, and you may combine this with any other challenges. 

Just remember these simple rules:

It must be a new creation
You must mention my challenge and link back here in your post

You may enter up to 4 times

(As always, due to postage cost, I will have to choose the winner from USA entries - so sorry!)

For today I decided to show you two creations. I just recently received my "Bring on the Happy" Penny Black order  (stamps are available in my Etsy *Stamp* show now)  and I couldn't decide which one to use. 

The floral stamp I used on the first card is definitely my favorite floral stamp from this release.

I used watercolor paints on watercolor paper for the background. Then I added a stenciled design, using the new Penny Black stencil "Hypnotic". After stamping the flowers, and adding the fussy cut blooms, I randomly stamped the sentiment over the background using distress ink.

Products list:

Demure, Sprinkles and Smiles

(both stamps/set by penny black avail. in my shop) 

Hypnotic stencil  

watercolor paint, copic markers, versafine ink, memento ink, distress ink

button, twine, ribbon, glitter, white pitt marker

Next up is another birthday card using the fun stamp "Sweet Delivery". This was another have to have stamp for me, because I think the image works so well for masculine cards, but can also  be used for cupcake lovers and cat lovers, so it's perfect :-)

I stamped this image onto neenah card stock and colored using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. The "tire" marks were made with a brand new Penny Black stencil (there are actually 3 different designs on this stencil). I gave the card some extra color by inking it with yellow distress ink. Sentiments are from the set "Bring on the Happy" and "Snippets", both also from the same release and available in my stamp shop. 

Product List:

Sweet Delivery, Sprinkles and Smiles, Snippets

Oscillations Stencil

(all avail. in my shop)

DCWV card stock, neenah card stock

faber castell polychromos 

versafine onyx ink, washi tape, glitter
