Color Throwdown Guest Stamper

Hello and Happy Wednesday!

I am beyond thrilled to join the Ladies of the Color Throwdown for this week's challenge!

It is fall season (even though that's not the case in LA with 104F today) so I had to try and do something appropriate... for the season. The colors for this challenge are eggplant, olive and rust, so I immediately thought-autumn leaves. I created a sectional background with some stamps, watercolors and pencils. Focal point opposite from it- and there you have it. Even though it seems like it has a lot of elements I still consider this card Clean and Simple.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Be sure to stop by the Color Throwdown Blog for more inspiration from the Design Team.

CAS Paper Players

A simple and clean card for Halloween

I really wanted to participate in the speed challenge over at the As You see it Blog, not only because it's fun, but also so I can learn to make cards faster-it takes me way too long... So after careful planing, I had an idea and I started. It took 7.5 min. (And only because i glued the rhinestone more on my fingers than on the card. ) So it's do-able!

The colors got inspired by the Colour Throwdown and house of cards. The moon is more orange in real life than on the picture. And not to forget the theme-it's spooky time over at the Paper Players!

CASe this spooky month

It's the spooky time of the year and I am starting to make my contribution to it. I don't carve pumpkins, but I make treats for my friends and family.

Simon Says Challenge was calling for a walk on the dark side. Well, what more perfect than Halloween theme. I used the colors from the Colot Throwdown challenge and the sketch from CASe This Sketch. Happy Halloween month!
