Creative time

A Zoom session inspired me to try a couple of challenges at SCS...we were all creating something different.  I did the color challenge and the Tuesday Teapot challenge as well : )

 

This is for the color challenge- and the colors are Poppy, Bumblebee and a green....  I tried to use COpics that were close matches and was not happy with the colors, so grabbed this EF and used Daniel Smith watercolors. The vertical sentiment- I have an entire folder of them, is from unknown company.....  



  I sponged on SU inks Carmel and Close to Cocoa, then Distress ink Broken China. I had a stencil by Recollections and drew on the mountains in Copics and a white Signo pen. The truck was stamped in SU Marina Mist, then Versamark and clear embossed. The sentiment is stamped in Choc. Chip SU ink.  The gentleman this card is going to lives near Mesa, Az.  He has had some health struggles and we are dropping him a line to cheer him up. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful cards Shelly - love the almost baroque look of the sympathy card, and the glossy black car is stunning against the wonderful background you have created.
Stay safe

I do love that Teapot Tuesday card, but I hadn't seen the color challenge one. So cool! Looks like tapestry. Beautifully done, Shelly! I saw in the forums that there is a random Zoom meeting scheduled Monday night. I'm going to try to drop in.
