Getting back in the Game

I've starting posting a little bit more frequently and feel like I'm back in the game a little bit. Just a little though. I know I am still missing out on some great challenges!  Today I chose the challenges from Dynamic Duos and Mojo Monday.



I really liked this color combination and I had to use the dessert option since I now have this wonderful Clouds Embossing Folder!
That little booger of a boot took me forever to get right!  I tried coloring it with markers, watercolor crayons and aqua painters and none of those looked very good!  So I ended up stamping it on Tempting Turquoise AND Whisper White cardstock. Then I cut out the clouds from the WW and glued them onto the TT. That was a lot of fussy cutting but it looks sooooo much better than the coloring!  After all that work, I made the rest of my card fairly simple, for my sake and the sake of the card. lol

Stamp Sets: Bootiful Occasions, Rain or Shine
Cardstock: Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White
Ink: Black StazOn
Tools: 2 1/2" Circle Punch, Wide Oval Punch, Clouds Embossing Folder
Accessories: Black Dotted Scallop Ribbon, Dimensionals, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

  1. Shana, I think you discovered the true meaning of "fussy-cutting!" Great job combining both challenges (and you even fit in the dessert option!) Glad you could join us at Dynamic Duos this week :o)
