Kristina's Color Challange

Kristina's Color Challange

I've been trying to stamp more "just because" and am trying out Kristina's color inspiration challenge as part of my motivation. :) Here is her colors for this week...

I thought I would try playing with some copic's for this round and Flower Garden has a great flower to use with them!

I also used Polka Dot Basics and the Hello sentiment from Out of the Box.

I used my last few sheets of my SU cardstock... Kristina picked some of my VERY favorite SU colors. Brocade blue is one of my fave blues EVER!

ok... A few people have asked about the scalloped edge. I used the Martha Stewart scalloped edge punch. I really love this punch. It's rare I venture away from Marvy punches, because I design for Marvy...and LOVE their punches (which is why I design for them, LOL!), but was sent this for an article I was writing and pretty much fell in love with it! I do with the scalloped were a little deeper though.

BTW... see that snow in the photo? Here it was all sunny and "springy" and WHAM.... dumped on with snow...sheesh! it's melting now though... wake up flowers!!!

Thanks for poppy-ing by!

Can you please tell me how you made your scallop edge. It has me puzzled. I really like how it turned out thought. Now.....tell me how I too can do that type of scallop edge. Thanks and rubber hugs.

Ditto on the scalloped edge.

Too bad you don't live in Georgia - I have pansies, hyacinths, daffodils & a beautiful Japanese Magnolia blooming (as long as a late frost doesn't come in). But you're favorite i.e., in your color palette, would be a low growing plant called Georgia 'Blue Eyes'. You could really go to town w/ this plant w/ your copics. Check it out here:

I think my plants have a more intense blue color. Sorry I have babbled so long. I LOVE flowers, the brighter - the better. That's why I love your creations.
