January WICKED color combo

LeeAnn Greff (aka flowerbugnd1 on SCS) is this month's WICKED stamper. One of her challenges this month is a great color combo: Baja Breeze, Blush Blossom and Cameo Coral. Now, I rarely use Blush Blossom or Cameo Coral, so this was a great challenge for me. I think my card is a little light on Blush Blossom, but I got it in twice which I think is pretty good.
I had already decided that I wanted to use my tag punches, and then I chose Enjoy Every Moment for the stamp set. I have really neglected that set and the punches, so I wanted to show them a little love.
I CASEd the focal image from a swap card I got somewhere. There's no name on the back of the card, so I can't give credit. I used the stamp-a-ma-jig for the word "enjoy", the flower, and the words on the tag.
It's a pretty simple card, but I'm happy with it!
Supplies (all SU): Stamps: Enjoy Every Moment; Paper: Whisper White, Blush Blossom, Baja Breeze, Cameo Coral; Ink: Blush Blossom, Baja Breeze, Cameo Coral; Accessories: stamp-a-ma-jig, Styled Silver HPH, crafters tool kit, photo corners punch, small tag punch, tag punch, linen thread
Happy stamping!

Dare to Get Dirty!

If you are a paid member on SCS, you can take part in this year's Dare to Get Dirty challenges. They are so much fun, plus members of the Dirty Dozen comment on your cards! Last year both Jenn Balcer and JulieHRR commented on the same card, and it was so exciting!
Anyway, Laurie (lauraly on SCS) is a former Dirty Girl, and her challenge on Monday was to use vellum. Well, I had already made these vellum flowers; how great is that? (Come back on Friday for another card using vellum and details on how I made the flowers.) I wanted to use markers on the flowers, and I only have the Bold Brights so that determined the color combo. I don't use these colors anymore, so this was definitely outside my comfort zone! I used the big piece of vellum to soften the Yoyo Yellow cardbase. I thought the Basic Gray would help tone it all down a little.
Supplies (all SU): Stamps: Enjoy Every Moment, Bud Basics, Sanded; Paper: vellum cardstock, shimmery white, basic gray, orchid opulence, yoyo yellow; Ink: VersaMark, Basic Gray, Orchid Opulence, Yoyo Yellow, Bold Bright markers; Accessories: ticket corner punch, white EP, Basic Gray taffeta ribbon, Ice Circles rhinestone brads
Happy stamping!
