Helping Hudson Week One Challenges

Well I am just scraping in for the week one challenges over on the Helping Hudson blog. You will have to excuse me but my mojo is severely lacking this week - life is getting in the way! First up is a sketch challenge.

Here is what I used:

Stamps: Cute & Curly

Paper: Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White, Bella Rose DSP

Ink: Riding Hood Red

Accessories: Curly Label Punch, Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Eyelet Border Punch

Next up was a colour challenge to use Rose Red, Pretty in Pink and Not Quite Navy. I actually did two cards for this one because I really didn't like the first effort but not that impressed by the second one either! Here is the first one:

Here is what I used:

Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly

Paper: Rose Red, Pretty In Pink, Not Quite Navy

Ink: Rose Red

Accessories: Butterfly Punch, Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch, Pearls from Pretties Kit, Big Shot and Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

Here is number two:

Here is what I used:

Stamps: Vintage Vogue, Very Vintage (Wheel)

Paper: Pretty In Pink, Rose Red

Ink: Not Quite Navy, Pretty In Pink, Rose Red

Accessories: Paper Doilie, Pearls from Pretties Kit, Dimensionals

Last but not least was the technique challenge which was rock & roll. This is where you use a light and dark ink and stamp the light colour first and then roll the edges of the stamp in the darker colour. I also used this weeks sketch from Clean & Simple stamping for this one.

Here is what I used:

Stamps: Great Friend (coming again soon!), Stem Sayings

Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Orchid Opulence, Cottage Wall DSP
