Stamp-a-holics Cards & Things Challenge

Good Morning Ladies!

First part is not stamping related.  If you want to see my card scroll down.

Want to know what I have also had to do in the last few days?  I am having a sunroom added to my house.  I wanted a place to sit and watch my butterflies in the summer and the snow falling in the winter.  I had this great idea to do a faux finish on the walls.  Well last weekend I got an e-mail from my builder saying my walls were ready to faux finish and that when I got it done to let them know and they would come back and add the trim and hardwood floors.  I did not want to hold them up so in between working, teaching my class, making card for my blog, and planning my upcoming workshops I had to work on painting. 

Here are the before pictures.

I hope you can see the depth in the faux finish in the second set of pictures.  I really love how they turned out. 

Okay, now on to my card.  I made this card for the Stamp-a-holics color challenge.

You have 15 minutes to create your card.  I was over just a little as I kept adding layers as it seemed to need them.

I combined it with the sketch challenge at Cards & Things   

I ended up flipping the sketch as I wanted to try a new technique.  I have seen several cards created using the acrylic block that is inked up and then stamped.  I decided to use the pear pizzazz for this color block.  Here is what my final creation looks like.

Hope you enjoyed my card today.  I am hoping to share a new scrapbook project I am working on tomorrow.  If all goes well I will have the beginning of the project tomorrow.  I am up to my daughter’s this weekend so I will be getting some more pics of my cute Zoie to share also.  Thanks for looking and have a Super Saturday!
