I've been trying to get a little therapy stamping in each day. While the cards are simple, I'm enjoying using more of a variety and really need to participate more in the color challenges to get me using colors outside my norm.

For this card I kept with the theme of yesterday's card using Fantastical Floral by Unity Stamp Co. I started out with the Color Throwdown #26 Challenge (Kraft, Pink Passion, Basic Black) along with the Limelight Papercrafts Sketch/Stamp Challenge (use 2 different stamps). It also met the challenge FC25 using sewing on Embelllish-It online.

While I did stray a little with my prima flower (which is gray) the butterfly itself was colored with black refill so I just lighted it for the watercoloring.

Off to enjoy a night out with some friends tonight (kids included). Our friends' little guy is just over a month old and I can't wait to see how much he's grown.

Six Chicks Sketch Challenge #12

I loved this sketch that Mandy had at Limelight and knew exactly what image I wanted to use with it. It didn't work with the traditional size card so I had to make it a little larger (7 1/4 x 4 1/4). I'll definitely use this layout again as it just came together so well and it's a simple card but I like it a lot.

I played with my new Copics although I don't have the colors I used at hand right now. I used the Core'dinations textured cardstock along with my basic black Stampin'Up! cardstock. I topped off my colored flowers with some stickles. The image I used is from one of the mystery image swaps I participated in awhile ago and still had a few extras laying around. The image is from Impression-Obsession. The sentiment is one of the rub-ons I've had from Stampin'Up!

I'm off for a few days for my Grandmother's Memorial Service but have a ton of ideas in my head for stamping when I come back home. I've already got some images put together that just need to be thrown on a card.

Have a great weekend!
