LNS Colour Challenge #42 and TSSC92 layout challenge Oct 20, 2009

I'm on a roll here with challenges

see what happens when you have too much

time on your hands LOL.

First challenge is the

Stampin! Up Late Night Stampers Colour Challenge

Really Rust, Ruby Red and Old Olive

I combined it with a layout challenge

of Mary Jo's Techno Stampers Challenge 92

Click on any photo to get a larger view

The card fell over when I tried to photograph it

Ingredients:

Inkpads and cardstock -Really Rust, Ruby Red, Old Olive

Ribbon: Old Olive

Stamp: Snow Swirled

Ruby Red red on old olive cs

Basic black ink on Rub Red

Embossed the tree in versamark and gold ep

onto Really Rust cs

gold embossed the middle sized decor

and stamped the little decor in basic black

Sentiment was embossed in black

I had a hard time using these colours together,

I almost gave up participating in the challenge.

It didnt look right and incomplete so I

had a hard time choosing which embellishment

I persisted and voila, it all came together

I also had a hard time photographing it

so the colours would show

so I took it outside and it was blowing

and here you can see as I clicked

the card flew off, nice picture of the flower though.

I tried another combination with the colours without layers

and this is what I got.

p.s. just moving my creations over from my old blog
