Monday Funday - Challenge #4 and contest!

Changing it up again for this Monday Challenge - we're going to do a color challenge!  So here are the colors you can work with -

~*~*~*~*~

Challenge #4 -  So here is the deal - your card does not have to use Stampin' Up! products - although I would LOVE that.   So, if you don't have these exact colors use ones you have that are as close as possible.  You do not need to use all four colors - but you do need to use at least two of them - and you can add neutrals ie. black, white, vanilla and other colors if you like.  If you use all four colors above - you get a bonus entry.  Once done, you need to go to my facebook page search Crazy Stamping Lady - like the page if you have not done so; and post your picture of your card in the comments of the Challenge #4 Post. Here's the direct link to my FACEBOOK page - click HERE.
BONUS OFFER -
And, since I am trying to get as many people as possible to play along - if you invite a friend to play - and they post a picture and mention you invited them - not only will they get an entry - but you'll get a BONUS entry too.  So here is what I came up with for my inspiration - it uses the brand new Ornate Garden Suite that will be in the next annual catalog - but is being offered early -

You can see just how beautiful this set is - and for me and my coloring addiction - well, it was perfect.  The flowers were colored with SU! blends.

I especially like those beautiful ornate layer dies - they cut such amazingly intricate layers.  Loved them so much I had to use another on the inside.

Hoping this picture close up - also shows you the new gilded gems that are part of the suite - they glimmer like gold.  But really this is only a small part of what is offered in the suite - you can check it all out HERE!

Now it's your turn - pick your colors from those above - make your card - and post to my Facebook page no later than Noon, Sunday, April 19th for a chance to win a sampling of DSP perfect for card front layering - good luck!  Can't wait to see all your cards.    ~Maureen

Birthday Wishes --

Here's the first card we made at this week's Cards Stamp Camp - it uses a new stamp set "Build a Birthday" that is in the NEW catalog and not available for purchase till June 2, 2015.  It is a super cute set and was so fun to create with.  It's very versatile - change up the colors for so many different occasions - and the strips that make up the cake layer can be stood up and made into candles with the little flame stamp that comes in the set.

We also used three of the new Stampin' Up! In-colors - Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, and  Watermelon Wonder.  They worked great together on this card.I don't know if you can see it or not, but those attending were able to use either pearls or gems on their flowers.  The card above has the pearls, the one laying down below gems, but either way it's cute.

So be ready to order yours on June 2 and if you don't already have a catalog please be sure to let me know and I'll get you one (must live in the U.S., and please, if you already have a demonstrator ask them how to get a catalog.)  Here are a couple pictures of the creative process in action - hope you can join me in the future!

 

Stop back soon!  ~Maureen
