Blogger’s Challenge Week 58

August 1, 2008 By Connie | 11 Comments

This week’s challenge was to use Old Olive, So Saffron, Rose Red and Pumpkin Pie.  Bright!  Actually, I did like the result!  I think this set, Window Dressing, is SO cute!  I wanted to make some swaps cards with it, but ran out of time…

On this card, I did use some of the striped Old Olive paper from Summer Picnic…it is such a great textured stripe.  I also couldn’t believe I actually had this ribbon that matched the colors EXACTLY!

I stamped the window and pumpkin images with Basic Grey on Very Vanilla and then used my watercolor crayons to color and shadow the images.  I mounted it on So Saffron and used the ticket corner punch on the top corners.  Then I overlapped a piece of Pumpkin Pie and a piece of Rose Red behind the So Saffron piece.  To My and Friend from Fundamental Phrases were stamped with Basic Grey also.  I punched the Trio of flowers from So Saffron and placed an Old Olive mini brad in each center.  I love how this came out!  Even with coloring, the card came together pretty easy!  If I have time, I may cut some paper and take them with me on the plane to finish.  Of course, I’ll need to use only Stampin’ Up! current product, but I’m sure I can find something to replace the paper and ribbon I used.

I’m anxious to see what the other Blogger’s did with this week’s challenge! 

Have a great weekend.

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Oh Connie, this is adorable…I’m love seeing all the new sets, and will be even more excited when I get my new catalog! Sorry to hear about your blog problems. I was one of the 30,000 people whose blog was shut down, but I guess lucky for me, it was only down about 30 hours…but they were long hours for me! Welcome home, and get some sleep!!!

    You are not alone in the blog problem. Several of the gals had a hard time getting blogger to free up their blogs. Your card is great…what wonderful use of the colors in the challenge. Love the ribbon, it matches so well…glad you had a great time at convention – now back to work girl!
