CCEE, MFT Sketch & Color Challenge

Here's a card I did for today's Color Challenge on SCS, which was to use Barely Banana, Groovy Guava, and Chocolate Chip. I combined it with Cindy's MFT Sketch #38 and did the *thumping technique* that the girls on the CCEE blog posted yesterday. Fun challenges!!

I've been eyeing this Can Ya Dig It set from MFT for a while now...finally broke down and bought it along with the Essential Sentiments set. {smile}

Her hat, dress, gloves, and shoes are all paper pieced. The hat and gloves are from Afternoon Tea DP, the dress is SU's Linen BG on Groovy Guava, the shoes were watercolored with Basic Brown Classic ink on white CS.

The yellow oval panel was cut out with the Coluzzle. The Pretty Petals were stamped in Groovy Guava Ink and then *thumped* with a Chocolate Chip SU Marker. The Chocolate Chip panel behind the main image is up on dimensionals. The inside of the card includes a 1/2" strip of the Afternoon Tea DP and paper piercing along the bottom edge.

Here's a card I made with my gorgeous new Peppermint stamp...also by MFT. I used Mojo Monday Sketch #43. This is the second card I've made with this sketch...love it!

The image was watercolored with reinkers and inkpads (smashing the ink in the lid, adding water and using a watercolor brush). The Chocolate Chip oval nestie as well as the main image are up on separate layers of dimensionals.

The inside of the card includes a white panel. I inked up just the top part of the Peppermint image and stamped it along the bottom edge.
