I think I am coming down with something...

Yup, it's true.  I have the cardmaking bug.  I told Brett that I think I need to check myself into CA (Cardmakers Anonymous). :)  I honestly am obsessed with making cards and doing challenges as of late.  So much so that I have to post two cards in one day in order to get them entered into the challenges on time!  Colourq has a gorgeous color combo this week, so I decided to start there.

 

I also liked the sketch over at The Paper Players, so I decided to combine the two challenges into one card. 

 

 

As a demonstrator, I don't keep product after it retires, so I didn't have any Bermuda Bay on hand.  I decided to use Pool Party instead.  I folded up some babywipes and put drops of Pool Party and Gumball Green reinkers on it to stamp the largest stamp from Clockworks, another one of my favorite go-to masculine stamp sets!  I LOVE how the background turned out! The Pool Party mixed with Gumball Green almost looks like it could be Bermuda Bay! The whole background reminds me of a wall covered in graffiti. 

 

 

 

There is a simple trick to getting the squares to match up with the background.  Cut your squares, use temporary adhesive to stick them down to the background piece of cardstock and stamp away.  There will be little gaps when you pull up the squares, but if you mat them with cardstock you can't even see them!  Easy peasy!  This is one of those cards that doesn't require any supplies other than cardstock and ink, but ended up being one of my favorite cards ever!
