Hi Stampers!
This week is another color challenge for Broke Stampers Unite.
It was a challenge for me this week. We had to use Blushing Bride, Bermuda Bay, Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, and Whisper White. Usually, I think of flowers when they are colors I wouldn't put together because flowers come in all color combinations. I believe it was Carol who said they were desert colors. Lightbulb moment.
I instantly thought I would do a sunset. I could use the palm trees in the Waterfront set. Being in the mountains, I see lots of pine trees so I was drawn to that set. I really didn't know when I'd ever use the palm trees.
I have a question for you all. Do you ever have an idea in your head and it doesn't work the way you want it to? I had originally wanted to sponge blue water with a warm sunset. That didn't work they way I wanted so I decided to shrink my white card stock down. I only used stamps and not sponges.
I used the Swirly Scribbles thinlits for the waves on the front of the card for a layer of water.

Hi Stampers!
The first Broke Stampers Unite challenge of April is a floral theme.
Flourishing Phrases is a great set. It has several flowers and wonderful verses and coordinating thinlits.
I always need thank you cards. That made this weeks card a no brainer.

Note:
After seeing Terri's card, I'm a little sad that my card isn't very springy. However, I haven't seen signs of spring yet. It snowed the first week of April. It was warmer at the end of February than it is now.
Until next time,
Hi Stampers,
I have a sketch challenge for you today.
I knew exactly what I wanted to create with the awesome Waterfront set! I love this set. Living in the mountains, these stamps can make many local themes. The verse is from the You're Delightful hostess set.
The Woodland embossing folder works well with this set too. I aged everything with some Crumb Cake ink.
