This card is for this week's dynamic Duos Challenge, the colors for this week are Always Artichoke and Certainly Celery.
I used a Dream Weaver Stencil for my image, which I embossed with Matte Black Embossing Paste.Stencil #LG664.
I used Always Artichoke Cardstock for my background, and SU designer paper in Certainly celery. I added a ribbon which I colored with SU Ink in Always Artichoke, and added brads and doily cut with a die from Cheery Lynn Designs.

DD#19 Dyanamic Duos Challenge

I made this card for the Dynamic Duos Challenge DD#19.  You can find the link to the challenge here.

I tried to make a CAS card (Clean and Simple)  I failed!  My husband always tells me that I make too many layers on my cards...smile.  And Yes, I would like to learn how to make them with less layers, but I guess habits are hard to break.  I think this one only has about 6...smile. 
My card was made using Stampin' UP ink, and cardstock in Cajun craze, and Always Artichoke.
I used two different sets of Stampin' Up rubber stamps, an Old set (I think it was the second set I purchased, but it will always remain a favorite...Abundant Joy, The sentiment is from Bloomin' Beautiful.  The frame in the background was cut out with a die from CheeryLynn designs.(A2 Frame Die)  I added a ribbon, brads, lace, and a button.

Dynamic duos Challenge DD#18

I made this card for the Dynamic duos challenge DD#18. The challenge is to use the colors of Poppy Parade and Lucky Limeade. I saw that this week's challenge colors looked like Christmas colors, but I wanted to go in a different direction...but Plan A did not work out, so I ended up with Plan B, which turned out to be a Christmas Card...but that's Okay, I have been trying to get my Christmas cards done early this year...so this works for me....smile...

I made the flowers on my card using a new die that I just purchased...
Die-namics Prima Donna Petals from mftstamps.com. I really like the flowers that this die makes. The flowers are easy to make, and though they are shaped and pop up...they don't have a high dimension which makes them easier for mailing. I punched out the die along with my Spellbinder die Fleur De Lis Squares, and my vine die, with my big shot. My Card stock is from Stampin' Up, in the colors of Poppy Parade, and Lucky Limeade,

This is a "belated" Anniversary card for my daughter and son-in-law. I made the card for the dynamic Duo's challenge to use River Rock and Black. The link to the challenge can be found here . I like these color challenges because it is making me use color combo's that I may not have tried before...and this is one of those color combos that is new to me. I do like the way it turned out on my card...
My main image is a stamp from Inkadinkado, my designer paper is from Stampin' Up, I colored my white ribbon with River Rock Ink, I framed my image with the Spellbinder classic Oval (used Very Vanilla card stock , which I ran through my Big shot with a Swiss dots Embossing folder. I added brads and lace ribbon in the color of very vanilla. I almost forgot, I also embossed my image with Versamark and heat embossed with Black embossing powder.
