Happy Friday to you! This week's Blogger's Challenge was a color challenge...Stampin' Up's Sahara Sand, Really Rust, Mellow Moss, Regal Rose, and Blue Bayou. Right away, I had a big problem...I don't have anything Sahara Sand...not a marker, crayon, ink pad, scrap of paper...nothing!! That's when I decided to call my Stampin' Up demonstrator Clara. She was sweet enough to share her Sahara Sand ink pad and a sheet of cardstock with me. Thanks a bunch Clara! Now I was set to get to work, or at least I thought that I was. I decided on this image from the Stampin' Up set Long-Time Friend (retired) and used inks and watercolor crayons in all of the required colors to color up my image. (I was able to sneak in the Regal Rose on the two little flowers on the bottom right.) The sentiment is from Stampin' Up's Cute Critters (retired) and I used the Linen background on the Sahara Sand panel and the card base. My layout started off as this week's Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge with a few little changes. I was ready to put my creation together and then realized that I was completely out of Really Rust cardstock! Oh bother! I didn't know what to do. After frantically digging through my sheets of paper, I found that I had a new package of Stampin' Up Fall Flowers Designer Papers. Thankfully, there is a sheet in there with Really Rust flowers! Yippee...I was saved!! After all of this, I finally have my card finished for this week's challenge.For more creations with this color challenge, just click on the Blogger's Challenge logo on the right side of my blog. Thanks so much for stopping by today...Toodles!!! :D
