KWerner Color Challenge #37

Well when I saw these colours I went - OH NO - I think they are gorgeous colours but had NO idea what to do with them! I really surprised myself and had no trouble at all!! The first set I grabbed was the Hostess Level 1 set , A Little Bit of Happiness. I stamped the leaf set in Chocolate Chip and then used my ink pads and Blender Pens to watercolur them. I had to swap in Soft Sky for the Baja Breeze as we don't have that colour in Oz. I also used my Forest Branches Cuttlebug folder to add some more "nature" to the look.
I've been trying to make more masculine cards - I find these hard to do, especially when a birthday is coming up and I "have to" do one NOW! This is going into my stash for one of these times!

I love this card Debbie and agree it's hard to make cards for men! I really like what you did with the stamp and have been meaning to give them a go. You are making me start to think I need to invest in a cuttlebug!

Hi Debbie! Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on my challenge card!
I love your card!!! When I saw the challenge colours for this week all I could think about was "Fall" colours! I think the colours go perfectly with your stamp set!

Hi Debbie,
I love this card. You made good use of the stamp set. It is so hard to make a man's card. Well done.

Gorgeous card Debbie! This layout works beautifully.

I've had my eye on that emboss folder for some time now...might have to get it afterall ;-).

All the best,
Sam.

Great card Debbie - love the way you've coloured this stamped image
amd the tag at the side with the 2 blue brads really sets it off.
I know what you mean about making masculine cards - now we all have at least one new idea! Thanks for sharing.
