color challenge

OK, I couldn't help but re-use stamps from the new sets..I just love this tree! (Just realized I haven't uploaded my unfinished card...but it uses this tree). I was going to step away from the browns since I've been doing a lot of brown colors lately, but I found a card color challenge so I figured one more couldn't hurt. I might make this into a set because I love it so much :)

Here's the colors:

Materials:

Stamps: Hero Arts 'Paris', 'Tree Birds and Messages'

Paper: Brown and dark brown cardstocks, white cardstock, DCWV autum stack

Inks: Stampin' up! Old olive, Staz On Timber brown

Markers: Copics B02, E57, E29

Embellishments: Brown ribbon, pearls, white embossing powder

Tools: Spellbinders Nestabilities

Even more new toys! :)

The other day I decided to check out what ebay had for sale and ended up winning 15 packs of Hero Arts clear stamps ! I'm absolutely in LOVE with these stamp sets but when they first arrived I was automatically overwhelmed as I couldn't decide which to use first! I had my boyfriend choose his favorite, though I should have known it would be the one with chubby hippos. Here's the card :

Stamps: Hero Arts, Playful Animals

Paper: Brown cardstock

DCWV 'Animal Crackers'

Embellishments: Brown ribbon, buttons

Tools: Spellbinders Scalloped Circles

Markers: Prismacolor warm grey, Copic: R81, E50

One of the reasons I put a bid on these stamps was for this specific set. I wanted clear French stamps, and I especially wanted sentiments in French. After I get through with the rest of the sets I think this is the first I will come back to. I already have some ideas brewing...

Stamps : Hero Arts "Paris", and Martha Stewart "Flourish"

Papers: Brown and dark brown cardstock

Embellishments: Buttons, brown ribbon, white embossing powder

Inks: Inkadinkado black, Stampin' up! Positively Pink

I'm still working on the third card...I'm stuck on papers, but will upload it as soon as it is finished! It uses two of the sets and a LOT of chalk. Until then!
