Basic Grey Challenge 6: colour combo
Today's BG blog challenge is to make a card with a certain colour combo - a choice of green and red, brown and cream, or blue and gold/yellow/orange. I think I'd have found the first two options easier, but I decided to go for the third option.
I chose BG cupcake papers, which lent themselves to the colours of Donald - printing the Happy Birthday bits on the computer.

I really found this was a challenge because I won't normally think of this colour combo.

A spoonful of sugar challenge 20 pink and green
Earlier this week I came across A spoonful of sugar and thought I would do a card for this challenge - this time: to use pink and green colour scheme.
I've mainly used BG two scoops with a little sultry for good measure! The stamped daisy has been coloured in with karisma and sansodor.

I've used a stamped image that I received in a swap on CBC. The background paper is BG boxer - plus a piece of sticky ribbon, photo corners, gems and a Happy Birthday sentiment:

Here is today's sketch on Sketch Saturday:

It just so happened that I had another oval at the ready, having done a card last night with an oval, so I used that. I stamped the oval with a HOTP stamp with versamark and embossed with hot pink. I also swiped versamark over the squares and heat embossed with the hot pink and then stamped and embossed the images with black. The papers are Dovecraft:
