~A Natural Hello & A Dirty Challenge~
February 20th, 2008 by Holly McMillen
G’morning :)….. It’s a two-fer morning! First, I really love this morning’s Sketch Challenge on SCS! The sketch is right up my alley.. lots of layers, and of course, I added a couple more just for good measure.
Last night I was watching a show on Nickelodeon with the boys. The girl on the show was wearing a shirt with these colors and it was soooo cool! I get inspired in the strangest ways, sometimes.
So, without further ado.. here are the deets on this one:
Stamps: Natural Beauty by SU!, Floral BG (SU!) and Essential Sentiments by MFT (www.mftstamps.com)
Colors: Wild Wasabi, GP White, Regal Rose, Purely Pomegranate
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Regal Rose, Copics
Accessories: white brads, white organdy ribbon, circle punches, scissors, swiss dots EF, ticket corner punch, dimensionals

A Dirty Challenge
It was a dirty challenge, but someone(s) had to do it! This month’s Dirty Dozen/Dirty Dozen Alumni challenge was to make a springy card (without cuttlebug, nesties, etc), using the stamp(s) designed by other Dirty Dozen/Alumni – OR- use a card from a DD/DDA gallery to inspire a card.
Well, I did BOTH! I used this adorable bedazzled egg by Whipper Snapper Designs (Anna Wight-Designer) AND I used this sketch by WAXYO (Meg Shumaker) as inspiration for my sketch. I stretched Meg’s sketch a bit to make it into a tall card measuring 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches (fits into a #10 envelope).
Here’s the deets on this one:
Stamps: Whipper Snapper Designs (Anna Wight-Designer), Eggstra Special Easter (chick) by My Favorite Things’, Dotted bg by Impress, Inc.
Colors: Wild Wasabi, GP White, Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Pumpkin Pie, Copics, White Gel pen
Accessories: checkered ribbon, stickles, circle punches, dimensionals
TFL!~ and have a blessed day!
Great job on the challenge! Gorgeous card!
Love the challenge card – classic Toy! The DD challenge card is really cute too. I love how you use the punched out circle for the sentiment.
Oh Holly both cards are gorgeous. Your coloring is fabulous!
Wow, these are soooo pretty!! Love the colors on both!!
