Sketch #701

Today's Challenge was from Freshly Made Sketches #701. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's my entry: 

 

 

This card is made with the Stampin' Up stamp set named "Coffee Cafe". I used the matching designer series paper named "Coffee Break".

 

The patterned paper is on a base of Soft Suede. The ink colors are Soft Sky, Blushing Bride, and Regal Rose for the hearts. Early Esspresso was used on the sentiment. I added 'Wink of Stella' glitter to the cup holders and covers of the cups. 

 

At first the card was kind of plain, so I asked my sister & daughter for suggestions on how else I could improve it. They had very helpful suggestions and this is my finished product.

Sketch #696

 

Today's Challenge was Freshly Made Sketches #696.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is my entry:


 

This card is made with Stampin' Up Products. The stamp set is called "Beautiful Promenade" and the coordinating dies. The background is the embossing folder named "Quilt Top". 

The colors are Regal Rose, Crushed Curry, Elegant Eggplant, and Old Olive. 

 

 

 

 

 

 


I created two cards for this challenge but I couldn't decide which one I liked better. So, I took a poll on Facebook, and the top one was the winner by an overwhelming margin! 

Here's the other one but not entered into the competition.
