Good Luck Card

This is a card I made real quick before work this morning for a swap that I had to get out in the mail. Simple and easy took only a few minuets to create.

This is a fun Stampin Up color combo Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Tangerine Tango and Bashful Blue. I did the "kissing" technique on the lizard, I used old olive to ink him up first then I used black ink with a tiny flower background stamp right on top. The three brown brads add the finial touch!

This week Sankari of Sankari's Sunshine Corner hosted the challenge!

Sankari : HI Everyone, Its almost August and its scorching hot over here - so how about something cooling! This week's challenge is to make a card with snowmen, snowwomen, or snowpeople :) You can make it with any colors, etc. but the main feature should have a snowperson on it :) Can't wait to see your wonderful snow creations!

I wanted to use the new Stampin Up! In-Colors. I will admit they are brighter than what I would normally use, which is why I am challenging myself to use them anyway!! Plus I think it is fun to use colors that are not always the traditional colors of Christmas! I did not spend a lot of time on my card, ok I will admit it...I have a Facebook problem...I am completely addicted and spend way too much time on there! But I did still make 4 of them! I now have a full plastic container of completed cards!! WOW 27 weeks! past the half way point!

You can not really see it in the photo but I stamped and embossed with glitter a big snowflake on the background paper. It looks good in real life! I love using glitter, but just seem to hate the mess, so it sits in the drawer most of the time. I need to bring it out more!

This is the awesome sketch Maria posted for us this week. I skipped last week but knew I needed to get back to it this week! I used Bo Bunny paper and Stampin Up's Lots of Thoughts and Snow Burst sets for the card.

Vicki's Challenge this week was to create a Christmas card without using any stamped images. You can get very creative with this, using Die Cuts, Recycled items, Stickers, Flowers, Lego........what have you!!! You can stamp a sentiment, but other than that, I don't want to see any inky fingers!!!!

This was the perfect challenge for me this week as I was gone last week on vacation and had a busy week this week getting back to work...then it was a holiday weekend and so forth! It was nice to create a simple card that came together quickly.
