It's Sunday, so that means it's time for another Red Hot Stampers sketch challenge. I did make my card a little bit different from the sketch. I wanted all of the ink colors to show on the strip so I moved the oval up and put the sentiment on the bottom. Keep reading to see the other challenges that inspired this card...
The theme for the Stampin Celebration Blog this month is rich warm colors and I put those into my card. And those colors came from the Friday Mashup challenge...Indian Summer and a mix of five colors. One of those colors is Cajun Craze and when I grabbed the ink pad I found out that it's the first time I've used it! The ink pad was still wrapped in the plastic. It seemed to blend in well with today's challenges though. :)

Vintage Elements of Style
Today I was going to post the card I made for my niece's wedding last night and realized (once I was at the wedding, of course) that I never took any pictures! So back to a card we made at my September stamp a stack. I got the idea for my card from kellichan over on Splitcoast. I love the vintage look and her colors, but I didn't have any ribbon in perfect plum, so I opted for some more fall like colors since that was kind of my theme for this month's stamp a stack.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Flower Garden
Well, this card started out as one of my stamp a stack cards, but it didn't last long! I was really looking to make something with fall colors, but still using flowers. I decided to give this technique a try when I saw it over on the Hand Stamped Sentiments technique challenge. It's a pretty neat technique, but definitely not for a stamp a stack. Hmm...maybe I need to start a techniques class too. :)
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Serene Silhouettes in the Fall
To those of you who come to my stamp a stacks, I did say I was going to post the cards we were making. Well, I think I'm running a little behind! lol Anyway, I wanted to make a fall card, and of course I always have one masculine card in the set of five. Well, I think this is going to be the guy card. It could probably go either way because of the coral color, but I still think it's more for a guy...who likes a little "pink"! lol
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Love & Laughter
Today's card is another bridal shower card for a friend at church. I've had the privilege of getting to know her a little more at my stamp a stacks and I'm so happy for her! Just a few short weeks and she'll be married. :) Hmm...looks like I took this picture before I put the pearls on the card though...oops! lol
