2 Cards, 3 Challenges!

It was my day off today, so between loads of laundry, I managed to get 2 cards done!!
This card was a Sketch Challenge SC262
I decided to use a variety of colors!
Pacific Point, Pixie Pink, Elegant Eggplant,
Basic Grey "Sugar Rush" & Gina K Pure Luxury.
Ink is Memento Black & Pacific Point.
I added a paper flower with a silver brad and a piece of scrap ribbon.
I colored with Prismacolor Markers.
Stamps are SU For a Friend, Penny Black "Bubbly" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This card was 2 challenges in one!
Sketch Challenge SC263 and Color Challenge CC254.
The colors used are: Bashful Blue, Soft Suede, Ruby Red, Very Vanilla,
Basic Grey "Sugar Rush" dp. For "dessert", stripes.
These aren't colors I use very often, so it was very challenging for me!!!
The dp seemed to have all of the colors I needed in it!
I used my Nesties Scallops & Ovals and added a piece of SU soft Suede dotted ribbon.
Ink was Riding Hood Red.
Stamp is SU For a Friend, and the {stamps} of Life-Stephanie Barnard-Love2Hug
I think it needs some bling!! So I may end up adding some stickles.
Well, time to finish laundry, and hope to get another card or 2 made tonight!!
Back to work tomorrow!! Thanks for looking!!!
