Colour Throwdown Challenge

 Take three.....well the administrators deleted my incorrect picture...Thank You.  Now I can't load the real photo as the linky thing is saying incorrect format.  As it's a JPEG and the same format as the original post, I'm giving up!  LOL  I like my card but it just won't make it to the Colour Throwdown site.

Oh boy!  did I make a mess of posting this one,  I selected the wrong thumbnail to display and my photo is on the Colour Throwdown site instead of my card!  *sigh*  that's what you get for doing this stuff at 6am.

It seems that I'm being challenged all over the place!  I'm really getting a lot of inspiration and having a lot of fun by looking at the challenges and the coming up with something meeting those guidelines.

Here is another one of those challenges at Colour Throwdown

Not much of an orange person, so that is where the challenge comes it, these are not colours I would normally put together and I am surprised at how well the colours can work in these colour challenges, try it you might just like it!!!

Feel free to leave a comment if you like what you see.

For this card I've used:

Marina Mist, Tangerine Tango, Crumb Cake (Kraft) CS, Crumb Cake DSP, Riding Hood Red ink and ribbon,  Style Beautiful and Butterfly Prints Stamp sets.  Beautiful Butterflies die and pearls.

My Regional swaps

I attended the Stampin' Up! Regional training event in Cairns last weekend.  What a lovely day that was, I met some sensational fellow demonstrators and we spent the day sharing ideas.  Whenever a group of SU demonstrators get together they do what is called Swaps.  This is making somewhere between 40 and 300 card fronts (depends on the event for the amount of swaps you make)  Anyway, we all group around and swap with eachother so we come away with 40 - 300 different ideas, cards made by other talented crafters which inspire us. 

Here are the swaps I made for Cairns.

This one I made the most of, it has the main image stamped in multiple colours, I used Pacific Point, Concord Crush and Rich Razzleberry inks, swiping the stamp across each pad in a different spot to ink it up.  The congratulations was inked up in versamark then in Rich Razzleberry and then embossed with clear embossing poweder mixed with the hot pink glitter from the Fine Cosmo Glitter pack.


I then decided that I wanted to do a few different ones so started to make some of the following cards in two colour ways.  Ran out of time and only ended up with 8 in total, I had to keep one aside for Monique and put one in the swap basket at the Regional so only 6 demos got one of these.

I really like the colour combination of the bottom one, very masculine.  I think I'll be using that one again.  These have been made using the I {love} love wheel and inked up with versamark then embossed with clear embossing powder mixed with dazzling diamonds.  Crystal Effects on the hearts to make them 3d and give them shine!






Cheers for now.
