My color combo is from last Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 422 - Elegant Mambo On The River. I still had the remainder of dp used last week and decided to use some more of it for this Thank You greeting card. I stamped the sentiment in melon mambo then doodled around with elegant eggplant marker. I did not have any elegant eggplant ribbon so I took some white and colored it with my elegant eggplant SU Marker.

Thank You Perfectly Penned

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 402 - Layered Scallops. I used 2 different fiskars scallopped border punches and 2 different colors of card stock.
My color combo is for today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 195 - Pinterest Inspiration photo.
My layout is from Friday's CLEAN & SIMPLE SKETCH CHALLENGE # 215. I started with a white cs base then added the 2 layers of scalloped borders.
I cut and embossed the 4 different leaves from 4 different colors of cs and arranged them the way I wanted them then stamped the sentiment in dusty durango and viola I was done.
OK so if you read my last upload, which was Wed by the way, you would remember what an ordeal I had with that creation. NOT this one. Went together like peanut butter and jelly. LOL.
HOWEVER, the dilema with my creation was NOT by a long shot the end of the trials for us that day. My MIL had 2 really hard BAD seizures around 3pm and FIL called the EMS to pick her up. She spent 2 days in ICU then Friday around 10am she started repeating everything she said 4-5 times and not able to walk, at 1pm we were in another hospital in another ICU where she has been since. Things have gotten better in some ways and we are HOPEFUL she can come home today.
I broke away to go to Sunday school only to find out that my daughter had her son in the ER for Asthma/Bronchitis. **man, can we get a break? ** At least they let him go back home after some steroids and resp treatments.
I am soooo ready for things to melow back out.

Brayered Silhouette Thank You

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 397.
My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 387 - Old Midnight Ripples.
Today I used a technique for backgrounds from the tutorial section called BRAYERED SKY for Monday's BLISSFUL BACKGROUNDS where we were to pick from the many choices of background tutorials available here at SCS. I started way off the paper to tone the dark colors down some and added some sponging to fill in the gaps then stamped the image from Serene Silhouettes in midnight muse. I used my Marvy Mega Scallop Circle punch. My dp is from The Paper Studio "Classics" stack. I tried to find a sentiment that read "you put a song in my heart" and could not so I grabbed Because I Care and changed to a Thank You card.
Hope you like it.

I cut and embossed the tag from Nesties Tag Trio die set and stamped the sentiment from Perfectly Penned SU Set in midnight muse ink then ran some midnight muse ribbon through it and behind the middle panel.
Hope you like it.

Perfectly Penned Thank You

This is for today's FREE 4 ALL CHALLENGE # 112 - Inchies & Twinchies. I used 1 inch squares on my white focal panel.

This is also for today's QUEEN FOR THE DAY CHALLENGE # 108 - LilLuvsStampin' aka Charlene who is not only an awesome stamper but a sweetheart to boot. She is all that and a bag of chips you might say. I chose to CASE her FRAMED SNOWFLAKES. I love that frame and it reminded me how desparetly I have been wanting to make a card using my new Nesties Fleur de lis as the base so that is what I went with. I used the inside measurements of the nestie for a white base in the back and for the old olive matt to the focal panel in the front.

My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 370 - Tangerine olive delight.

My focal panel is one I have also been inspired by many from this weeks TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 372 - Faux dry embossing of using white on white. The scalloped shape nestie is for Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 165 - Scallops,

I cut and embossed the Nestie ribbon tag trio on daffodil delight then used my slot punch in the ends because I did not want my ribbon to completely cover the ends. They are so adorable. I drew the inside of the die on white and cut it out then stamped the sentiment from SU Perfectly Penned in tangerine tango then popped the whole thing up on dimensionals.

Hope you like it and this is it for me until Monday, headed out of town in the morning for the beach. Have a fabulous weekend all.
