My Samples:
Supplies: Cardstock, Perfect Day paper, Bamboo brads and hinge, Music of Winter, Friendship Large Alpha, and Sans Small Alpha stamp sets by CTMH
Even though I made this card second this is what I invisioned for the color challenge. A crafty homespun winter card. This was very simple to make and the inspiration for this card comes from the Smile card on page 78 of the CTMH Fall/Winter 2008 Catalog. I haven't used these snowflakes in ages though I just adore them and the large text in the Smile card really inspired me to do an oversized sentiment.
Supplies: Cardstock, Col White Ribbon, Juniper Brads, Gratitude, Cottage Floral, and Star Stuck stamp sets by CTMH
This card I made first. I wanted to try something a little different with my Gratitude stamp set and this definitely is different for me. I made the paper first and fell in love with the design so I changed the position of the panels from the SC201 card sketch so that more of the paper was seen on the card. I mixed my Cottage Floral set with the Gratitude and the petals match perfectly with each other!
Here is the paper I made for the card - Desert Sand, Juniper, and Bamboo stamped on a 4 x 5.25 sheet of Colonial white. I am absolutely terrible at random stamping, lol. I've done the triangle thing, just randomly stamping anywhere, or even trying to mentally place each image visually on the paper before setting the stamp down and it never turns out the way I want. But though I can't random stamp, I think I do okay with stamping out grid-like designs. I used the scallop circle in the star struck set, it made creating the paper so easy as I just had to stagger the circles then stamp the flowers inside! Anyway have fun with the challenge! Thanks for playing!

These cards are so gorgeous, Marjorie! I love the paper you made!
I've been reading your blog thru Google Reader for some time now, but I don't think I've commented before. First let me say I really enjoy all that you share! When I saw your projects today, I felt compelled to comment. I absolutely LOVE that stamping! The colors and the images work perfectly together!
Thank you again for all the sharing you do!
What a great color combo, and I love your cards!
Marjorie - absolutely gorgeous cards!!! I have had some Juniper and Pond. Pine paper sitting on my desk for the last two months, just waiting to scrap Bri's dance pictures - this might just be the motivation I need to finish them! TFS!
Great Cards!!
I may have to play with these colors and see what I come up with.
Thanks for sharing.
