Purple Birthday Card

Just flying by with a card for a challenge that is closing soon... Only realized it now... So I will be brief....

Stamps: SSS (sentiment)
Dies: SSS (banner), Memory Box (Madera corner, Flowering Vine Border)
Other: Stampin' Up (EF), butterfly punch


Challenge:


Color Me #83 "Monochromatic - Wisteria Wonder"
























Simon Says Work It Wednesdays "Die Cuts"








Quite a change from my more clean and graphic cards of late...
This was for one of the 7Cardologists whose birthday we celebrated last Thursday. She loves purple. Sadly she is about to move to another state! We will miss her a lot!

That was it for me! My bed is calling!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
Susanne

Color Me #59 - Double Miracle Card

I have to confess that I am somehow scared of color challenges. Especially ones that use more than two or three colors. First Miracle: I have a card for a color challenge. My bloggie friend, Cornelia of Stempel Spass, you probably all know her, is a Guest Designer over at Color Me, so I thought I had to try and overcome my hesitation. Turns out the colors worked well for a retirement card that I needed. I even had a 6x6 paper pad that had the perfect colors. Yes, that's the second miracle: I used lots of DP! Look:

Stamp: unknown, unmounted lady, sentiment handwritten
Paper: My Mind's Eye (fine and dandy)


I've had this stamps for years and I don't think I have used it before. Thought it would be perfect for a retirement card! The funny thing is the friend who retired, one of the 7 Cardologists, is the last person you would find sitting at the beach and reading a magazine! She will be busy with her grandchildren, baking for everyone, and lots of other things.

Sending this to

Color Me #59

Wishing you a fun filled weekend! We will have company until Tuesday morning.

Hugs,
Susanne
