Bold Banners

Are you ready for a bold color palette from yours truly and Hand Stamped Sentiments? 



I'm up for the month of May, and when I had to come up with challenge colors, I headed straight to my color inspiration board on Pinterest and found this:

I pinned these colors mostly because I tend to not mix color families, and Summer Starfruit isn't a color I've played with (I know some of my HSS designers think I'm crazy!)

So here is my card:

It's an October Afternoon sketch, which I loved and had to put on my board in my room.  (Yes, the good ones get printed and hung up!)

The new Show and Tell 2 Photopolymer set is on it's way to my room and I can hardly wait to play with it!  Take a look, its made for this card.



So instead, I took a bunch of scraps and got busy with my square punch.

The sentiment is from an upcoming set.

I thought I'd also quick share my card I made for the last sketch challenge.  Unfortunately, I had major technology problems that week and wasn't able to get it linked up. 

I made it for my daughter who just won't stop having birthdays :/  Not sure how she can be nine! 
Again, you can see I'm a big fun of that chalkboard technique.

Now be sure to head over and see what the others have done with the colors, I got to peek at a few and I'm amazed!  So creative. So talented!
