Challenges

This week's challenge at DRS is "Harvest Moon."  Here's the card I created for it.



I started by masking the moon with a circle and sponged Bashful Blue and Not Quite Navy inks around for the sky. The ground was created by sponging Old Olive, Most Mustard and TH Antique Linen before stamping the DRS easy grass background in More Mustard and Old Olive. The silhouette trees and sentiment were stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa ink. The fence was created with a border punch. Some brown ribbon, a leaf button and some baker's twine complete the look. 

We'd love to have you come play along with us. You can see details here.

This next card is one I created with this week's Merry Monday Challenge #77 to use red, pink, dark green and light green. I used DRS Designs 4 in 1 snowflakes, stamping them in Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive and Certainly Celery inks.

 I used a SU edge die to cut the border on both the stamped panel and the Old Olive layer. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Black on the Real Red CS before embossing it with the CB snowflake folder. Some olive gingham ribbon and a toy soldier charm were added to complete the look. Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by.
