Color Hues #63, NBUS #50

DT member Hannelie has a fun color combo for us at Color Hues #63 - you know I'm not known for my love of color but after a bit of purging in my studio over the last two weeks, I found a stamp that just makes me smile and hadn't yet seen ink!  I had been saving it for a special day of play that sadly didn't happen - it was high time they came out to dance!

Enter my conga line of critters from Colorado Craft Co... there are some tell-tale signs that they did a little snacking along the line ...

That very big cake is also from CCC and was stamped first in Copic-friendly ink, colored in colors closest I had to those in the prompt, then over-stamped with VersaFine Clair ink.  I did a little fussy-cutting and popped my cake off the edge and popped up on my A2 side-folded card base.  The critters were treated the same way and popped atop my cake.  A little celebratory Stickles was added to the party.

Here's another thing to celebrate... I'm finally remembering to add my first-time use of this stamp to the NBUS Challenge #50!!!  [50?? goodness it has taken me long enough - sorry, D!!]

Thanks, Hannelie for prompting one last use of this cake before it goes in the purge-stack for the next card-maker to enjoy!

Inspired By #165 Lucky Rainbow

 

Hi my friends!  I don't know about you, but I don't think I have a smidge of Irish heritage!  But when it comes to friends?  I have the luck of the Irish, for sure!  Case in point, my friend Marcia, who often surprises me with little envelopes of love to color!  Here is my Inspired By #165 Lucky card - you'll easily see I was inspired by our colors, and that wee shamrock - but can you see my rainbow[s]?

Inside: I'm the lucky one, to have a friend like you!

I cannot WAIT another moment to see what my teamies have made - I'm the lucky one to be on this fabulous, fun team!  Seeing what YOU all add to our gallery is the other bit of luck I am blessed with!  Hope we get lucky this week, too!
