Techno Stamper Challenge #187

As I was browsing different blogs this week, I came across another challenge blog.  I decided to participate here with the Techno Stamper: Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge.

Here is the sketch:


And here is my card:

I made this for my adult nephew, who is really into all things western, for his birthday.  It is a hybrid card, as I used a digital kit to create it. I designed the card in Photoshop and then printed out each item separately and then cut them out by hand. 

I LOVE your comments, so leave me one below and let me know what you think!  Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!


Supplies:
Adobe Photoshop
Digi Kit: Peppermint Creative (Little Buckaroo)
Cardstock: ColorMates and other

ColourQ Challenge #96

Hello everyone!  I hope you are having a great week.

I LOVE the color palette this week at the ColourQ:

So as I started the card process, (you know, gathering paper and ink and such) I discovered that I had this Scenic Route patterned paper that matched perfectly!  Who hoo!  I love it when I can find patterned paper that works with the palette.  Then I had so many ideas floating in my head that I ended up making 3 cards with these colors:

This one I made last actually.  But I think it just might be my favorite of the three.  (I still can't decide).  This is my entry for the week, if I can't enter all 3 (or the set.  I am not sure how that works!)

This is like the 1 card I made for my niece (see a few posts back) only I made it with a 2 with these colors:

And here is the initial card I made with these colors.  I wanted to experiment with triangles this week.  This card unfolds on the sides, top and bottom (see the other photos below).  I cut all my own triangles with the exception of the ones with 'happy' and 'birthday':




So there you have it.  Three for the price of one (I guess :))

As always, I love reading your comments.  Please leave them below!  Have a fabulous day and thanks for visiting my blog!
