New Challenge @ Sunday Stamps #SSC390

 

Today begins a new challenge at...

Sunday Stamps // #SSC390 ...A "color palette" challenge!!  Of the five colors given on our "Garden Grandeur" color palette, pick at least three to use on your card.

For my take on this new color challenge that begins today, I used Stampin Up's Early Espresso, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, and Old Olive.  And since there were flowers in the photo, I decided to use a flower die as well.

                             

Now it is your turn to play along!!  How does this "Garden Grandeur" color palette inspire you??  We can't wait to see your entries in our gallery.  For additional inspiration to get your creative juices flowing, hop on over to our blog.  While there, you will also find all the detail for our new challenge that begins today and run until the 24th of July.

Never Before Used // #NBUS88 ...

The NBUS blog doesn't give challenges but offers a great place to show off those items that have "never been used"...whether they are brand new or items that you have had for a while but haven't gotten around to using.  Today I am using a brand new embossing folder from Darice that I picked up on my trip to VA at the Green Valley Book Fair.
