This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 314 - Handmade Tickets:
Today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 108 - The Great Outdoors. Well when I think of outdoors I remember the beautiful flowers my aunt and uncle had in their yard. They are both gone now and I pass the house they lived in for 40yrs often with a great sadness as it is grown over with weeds and junk so I turn my thoughts back onto my memories of how gorgeous the hydrangea bushes were. That is why I love this stamp set so much.
I had to work Sunday but did have time to CASE Corrie but I really wanted to do her gallery as much justice as possible so I did another of Sunday's FEATURED STAMPER # 212 - Corrie Foster by CASEing her CELEBRATION card this time. I changed the layout, colors and ribbon placement.
I inked my image with my stampin up markers of rose red and always artichoke, then huffed and stamped. I sponged some going gray to match the dp and tone down the white.
My color combo is from last Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 311 - Always Perfect Roses. I stamped the sentiment in perfect plum then sponged some going gray. I used my ticket corner punch on the focal image and sentiment.
Now off to work again. I will be doing 6 days this week since I got called in Sunday so by Friday my behind WILL be dragging.

Truly stunning! I played last week's color challenge and thought it was HARD - but you have put the colors together in such a subtle way and then with that musical background - it's gorgeous!
Oh my this is stunning!! I love the sparkly ribbon and the purple rhinestones are the perfect touch. Thanks so much for all the kind words, you made my day. And thanks for playing along again with the challenge -- I am truly truly truly honored!!
Great Big Smiles
