Blogger Challenge - At the Beach

Hi and Welcome to my blog. -  Today I'm joining in on the fun of Blogger Challenge where the featured theme this week is,  At The Beach.  This is pretty much where I'd rather be today then watching it rain outside again.  The cold, rainy weather is messing with my sinuses something awful and I'd much prefer a nice sunny beach to relax on then being cooped up inside but alas it is what it is.

Don't forget to stop by Lisa's blog, Splendiferous Creations and check out the other beach themed cards.

 



For this card I used Stamps from Amuse Studio's,  Life's a Breeze stamp set.

Card Stock - SU - Cherry Cobbler, Groovy Guava*, Brocade Blue*, and Whisper White.

Designer Paper - Three Bugs in a Rug

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and Brocade Blue*, Dusty Durango*

Other: Prisma Colored Pencils, Pearls (Zva), Toothpick, Nestabilitie Dies, Punch (Fiskars) and foam mounting tape.

 

Card Sketch is from: Paper Craft Planet Sketch

Have a fabulous weekend.



BC - Color Challenge and a Catch Up Challenge

Happy Friday! - It's time for the Blogger Challenge over on Lisa's Blog (Splendiforous Creations).  I missed last weeks challenge and was a bit bummed because the theme was, By The Seashore and I love the ocean and have several beach themed stamp sets that I could have used.  Time just got away from me and I never got a card made for the challenge.  I thought well maybe I could make it up with this weeks theme and then I checked and it was a color challenge, Red, Black and White (or Vanilla) and well I thought how on earth could I pull off a By the Seashore card with those colors....Well here is what I came up with:

So what do you think, did I pull it off or not?
