Now this card is one of my favorites for the January challenges. I love pinks and greens together and the brown was a nicely added color. This was for an Outlawz challenge for the Monday Birthday (HB0117)challenge which required pink, green and brown for the colors. I sent this card to my best friend of 50+ yrs, Marie. Her birthday is today.
Here are the supplies I used:
Sentiment: SU Messages for Mom stamp set
Cardstock: SU Chocolate Chip; Designer Print: Basic Grey Eva
Ink: Copics - YG13, R81, R83, R85
Nestibilities: Labels Trio and Blossom
Ribbon: SU Chocolate Chip
Martha Steward Border punch - Arch Lattice
Sakura Jelly Roll Glitter Pen - Clear Star - used on the pink flower

When I started on this layout, I didn't really have a plan and made it up as I went along. Therefore, it is not a favorite. I overdid the glitter which I wasn't satisfied with. This card was entered into the Outlawz Challenge for Color Tuesday (CC0111) using the colors red, pink, and white. Here are the supplies:
Stamp sentiments: retired SU
Cardstock: SU Real Red, Whisper White, pink from stash; Designer Print: Cloud Nine
Ink: SU Real Red and Memento Tuxedo Black
Glitter: SU Glass Glitter - Champagne
Ribbon: SU Pretty in Pink; SU border punch - Scallop Trim; red rhinestones from stash

This card was entered into the Outlawz challenge for the Tuesday Color challenge (CC0118). Using the colors pink and brown were required. Supplies used were:

The layout in this card is not the kind I usually do. The three straight bars just do not really do anything for me. It was an Outlawz challenge for a Wednesday sketch (SC0119)with the sketch provided to follow. Here are the supplies used:
