Trying my hand at creating a Chrysanthemum

When I saw the color combination at Late Night Stampers, the first thing came to mind was chrysanthemums. I decided I wanted to give it a try so I pulled out my punches and gave it a try. Make sure you let me know what you think. I have wanted to participate in the challenges at Late Night Stampers and this week they had a color challenge. We were to use Old Olive, Really Rust,…

Despite the pictures this card really pops!

I had a hard time photographing this card. I am not sure why. Maybe it was the contrast between the pink and black. The pictures make the pink look harsh, but I used Pretty in Pink and it has a softer look. I created this card using the color challenge from the Inkspirations blog.

I got the pictures taken for this one but my camera died…

I have to admit the curve was harder than I thought. I’m not sure I achieved the curve. It looks more like straight lines than a curve. Oh well I made an attempt. Not going to chit…
