Good Morning Ladies! I visit Carole’Anne’s blog Stampin Stress Away every day. Each week she and her sister Sandi (who’s blog Sandi MacIver I also check out) have a 10 minute challenge. The rules are to create a card in 10 minutes. Sometimes there is a sketch to follow, colors to use, or a specific product. This week it was a color challenge. I decided to try again. I used the sketch from Mary Jo’s…

I wanted to try embossing only a portion of the card as I…
I needed another workshop card and decided to use a color and sketch challenge for my creation. This one also can be used as a Mother’s Day card or an all occasion card. I used the color challenge from the Stampin’ B’s Design Team blog. Their challenge was to use purple, green, and yellow. I chose Almost Amethyst, Old Olive, and So Saffron.
