Yesterday I mentioned I was playing with an idea for a sketch set. In the past when I did a sketch set I used the same colors but different stamp sets and sketches. I was wondering what it would look like to use the same colors, the same sketch, but different stamp sets. I decided to give it a try. The Color Throwdown blog posted a challenge to use Barely Banana, Basic Black, and Real…
Sorry for the late post today. I have had a horrible headache as part of this cold and it has zapped me of my energy not to mention having to deal with the pain.

After I stamped and cut out the flowers, I thought my Flowers For You designer series…
I wanted to combine 2 challenges today. The Papercraft Planet has a color and sketch challenge each week. I thought it would be fun to combine the 2 of them into one card. The color challenge was to use Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, Garden Green, Night of Navy, and Very Vanilla.
