Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge 146 on Thursday!!!

Hi everyone,

I have had a chance to make a couple more cards today - just because I can and not for any other reason. I love that!!!

Anyway I thought I might use the Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge.















It is sometimes good to step outside of your comfort zone and use colours that you don't normally use. Here I have used three of our colours that will be retiring come September Ruby Red, Summer Sun and Cameo Coral.

The ribbon on the bottom is White Taffeta ribbon that I have dyed using a dauber and my Summer Sun Ink Pad. How cool is that. It means that you can have any ribbon to match .You just have to wait until it dries before using it which can take a bit of time. I actually used my heat tool and it dried quite quickly and didn't burn. I suggest if you are going to do that then don't hold the heat tool too close or you might end up regretting it.

Materials Used: (All Stampin' Up!)
Stamps: Petal Pizzazz, Short and Sweet
Paper: Cameo Coral, Ruby Red, Whisper White
Ink: Ruby Red, Summer Sun, Cameo Coral

My second card is basically the same just using colours that I am more comfortable with.

It is a little more busy than I am used to - but it felt great to do something that is not normal.
