WOYWW 154 Plus Two Challenges

Happy Wednesday Everyone!  I hope your week is going well.

It's time for our mid-week jaunt to see other creative desks around the globe courtesy of Julia at Stamping Ground.  This was taken last night in the midst of creating a card that combines two challenges.  The entire desk wasn't completely covered, so I'm not sure if my crafting session was a success or not!

Here is the card I was working on.  It's a coordination of the sketch challenge at Retro Sketches and this week's color challenge at Dynamic Duos using Pool Party and So Saffron plus neutrals.




The image is simply stamped in Crumb Cake and sponged over with So Saffron plus a little Pool Party on the leaf to give a hint of green.



I wasn't happy with this card last night and couldn't put my finger on exactly why.  I added the vintage button this morning, and I think that helps.  I've had this bag of buttons forever that I got from my grandmother ages ago, so there's no telling how old they are!


Be sure you pop over to all the blog links above.  You'll be inspired and have a chuckle or two as well!

Thanks for looking at my blog. I appreciate all the wonderful comments everyone leaves. Happy Stamping!

  13. Hi Sheri,
    The way you have coloured the pear is just lovely, it really allows the colours to accent the image. Such a pretty card! Thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos.
