Fishy challenge....FAILED!

I am only posting this to show you I fail sometimes too. This card was for a blog challenge to create a fishbowl. I loath this card. It is horrible and I am embarrassed to post it. It is however time for a new challenge and I am moving on. I am so OVER fish...ick. maybe I'll eat fish for lunch to make me feel better. I had  may still explore it but my printer failed too so it will have to wait till I buy more ink. In fact it isn't even letting me scan so the picture kind of sinks too. EPIC FAIL. But we get up and try try again.

Camouflage #2 Card party

I was hit with inspiration while thinking of my husband (he is in the Army). I love his uniform esspecally his combat boots for some reason. I think  it's hot! So if he was deployed and sent me a card combat books would remind me of him, so that became my focal. I also remembered the starburst tutorial over at the S&S blog and thought it would look awesome in Camo. So I put it all together. Personally I would LOVE to get this card from my husband.

OWH Card Challange Party 5am Camouflage

Every two hours there is a new card challenge Sat and Sun. Here is my first one challenge completed; theme camouflage. First my Any hero Card to send to the troops that is this one:
This was made with a digital scrapbook kit from Cupcake Sprinkles. I know it is the old camo but it is what I had. The second part of the challenge was to create a OWH general card again using the theme. That I am taking much more time to figure out something creative....maybe it will hit me when I am shopping at my local craft store. MMmmmmm thinking thinking....I am going to have to think on a more creative use of Camo.

Week 1 Color Challenge

So we just started the online card class today and we have been issued a color challenge. So here is my card:
I used Rangers Broken China distress ink on the background, spiced marmalade on orange cardstock for vibrancy, layered with a strip of white and pink on the side. The peacock is from BoBunny Peacock Lane and the thank you stamp is from The Stamps of Life. Here is a short look at the color palette:
This is just the first card I made, I am sure I will end up making more before the week is out. I was just too wound up to sleep so I had to work up this card.
