Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #19

Hello again everyone!

I didn't manage to post anything over the weekend. But I did see that Dawn McVey posted another Raspberry Suite Color Challenge. 5 colors? That spells challenge to me, definitely. What do you do with 5 colors? Do you pick one or two as main colors and then use "splashes" of the other ones? I would be curious what your "strategy" is.  

Since I felt "challenged", I ended up with two cards. I asked James to pick one. Tricky situation, because he would have had to actually say that he likes one card more than another. He! :-)

Since we had different "favorite", I'll post them both.

Thanks for stopping by!

  

A day of celebration

A new day has come! The day that the energy is getting back in my hands and feet and mind, the day that I dance because there are so many dances to be danced, because yes, the passion hasn't left my heart for good. 

I hope it lasts! 

For the past couple of weeks, I'd have the energy to either make a card or clean after the last one. More often than not, I would end up making a card and watch the room whither under the touch of entropy. Last night James transformed into a haven of inspiration and creation back again. 

My plans for this card was to knock two challenges with one shot. Two of my favorite challenges, at that: Raspberry Suite Color Challenge {Dawn McVey} and Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge {Karen Giron}.  

Recipe for {Celebrate}   4 x 5 1/2 in

~ Ribbon: PTI {Spring Moss Saddle Stitch};

~ Stamp: {Celebrate} from AAC (?! - that's all it says, no idea...)

~ Ink: PTI {Moulin Rouge};

Can't wait to see all the entries in these challenges! Thanks for stopping by!
