Blog Hop Thursday ....Product Profile, Color Coach

I just got this handy little tool called the color coach.

For this card I searched for a bright, Spring-y, color combination

and found one under a neutral, Basic Gray.

I love this satin ribbon and...

....the color combination was marked as on of Shelli's favorites. 

See that little heart after "Creative Combination"?

That indicates it is a Shelli favorite.

This is a fun and handy tool to have around.

But like most everything, I wait until I have a chance to see it before I will order it.

I wanted to share it with you.

Supplies:

• Melon Mambo CS, Basic Gray CS, Whisper White CS
• Best Friends Forever
• Melon Mambo Ink Pad, Basic Gray Ink Pad, Old Olive Ink Pad 
• Basic Gray Satin Ribbon, Mini Library Clips, Dimensionals

Mojo Monday #228

Any Downton Abby fans out there?

On last night's episode, Lady Grantham came down for a meal and had on a navy blue skirt and a cajun craze blouse.

I loved the color combination and knew I needed to make a card using the combination. LOL!

Today's Mojo Monday sketch  was a good fit. Especially because I need a special masculine birthday card for my uncle. So while Lady Grantham was wearing this combination, I felt it was better suited (no pun intended) as a masculine card.

I used:
Paper: Night of Navy CS #100867, Cajun Craze CS #119684, Crumb Cake CS #120953
Stamps: Best Friends Forever #122807, Happiest Birthday Wishes #hostess, Tiny Tags #118592
Ink: Crumb Cake #121030, Night of Navy #102977, Early Espresso #119670
Other: Jewelry Tag Punch #117190, Houndstooth Embossing Folder #123134, Vintage Trinkets #118764, Distressing Tool #106958, Linen Thread #104199, Stamping Sponges #101610, Scallop Circle Punch #118874

Thursday....

This was a CASE from Carrie Gaskin. Her skills make me crazy. I wish I had an ounce of the talent she has. Lucky for me, she shares what she does with us. On the original card the elements were smaller and more compact. I went with something larger because I am getting older and my eyes like something bigger. LOL!

I think it still works because the proportions are the same.

I love this card with it's unexpected color combinations and it's quirky elements.

Love it!

I used:

Paper: Soft Suede CS, Cajun Craze CS, Pool Party CS, Peach Parfait CS, Naturals Ivory CS

Stamps: Best Friends Forever, Little Friends

Ink: Soft Suede, Sahara Sand

Other: XL Oval Punch, Boho Blossom Punch, Button, Hemp Twine, Stamping Sponges, Dimensionals, Distressing Tool
