Monday Funday - Challenge #4 - color challenge and contest!

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

Prize #4 - a set of Stampin' Up! Notecards and Envelopes for you to decorate. Used in today's project -
Whisper White Notecards and Envelopes
~*~*~*~*~
So for today's project I took on a recent challenge from Stampin' Up! for Simple Stamping - cards and projects using only ink, stamps and paper - that even a beginner could do. #simplestamping  This project does just that a quick and easy note card to send out for the Holidays! 
Here is a close up view.  I used the beautiful "First Frost" set from the Holiday Catalog.  I wasn't even sure I wanted this set, but once I got it - it quickly became a favorite.  And I am sooooo happy to see it on the carry-over list! So only two inks were used - Old Olive and Poppy Parade.  Nothing is popped up or cut out or layered.  Just sweet, simple stamping.
But I also wanted to show you a little stepped up version.  Not a lot - just a little :)  On the samples below - I stamped the large rose once again on a piece of scrap paper and then popped it up over the other one with dimensionals.  Only took a couple minutes, a scissors and dimensionals to achieve this version. 
You can see a bit more here what I am talking about - and I love how it turned out.  I think if you changed the sentiment these would be beautiful Thank You notes for Christmas gifts, also.
