Today is the beginning of another 2 week long challenge at 7 Kids College Fund challenge blog. This time we are hosting a color challenge. Use the colors pink, red, and white. I used ribbon Tilda for my card. If you haven’t noticed Tilda’s are really starting to grow on me. They are so much fun to color. Anyway, come on over and join in the challenge. I get to go take my 4 year old for her Kindergarten shots now. Wish me luck! She hasn’t been since she was little and didn’t understand what was taking place.

Love this Tilda from the new Sweet Crazy Love collection. I was excited to finally get a chance to color her up. I pinned a beautiful card with this same Tilda that used this sentiment and borrowed it. I think it works well.

Tilda has stickles on her hair bows and the bottom ruffle of her dress though the photos don’t show it well. I do love to stickle everything and anything. Glitter is such a fabulous invention!

New challenge today- try something new. It took me a serious amount of time to think of something new to do. After failing at my first “new” something-or-other to try I settled on stamping my image with lighter ink. I also colored my image with Copics and then added shadows with a Prismacolor pencil. Never done that before, but I like the outcome.

My first attempt was to cutout AND emboss with my Cuttlebug and Nestabilities. I can’t for the life of me figure it out. I even watched a “how to” YouTube video. I think I’m just forgetting some crucial point. Frustrating! Any suggestions? I do have the embossing pad but nothin’.

Evening all! As you hopefully have been noticing lately I’ve been trying to go out of my comfort zone and try new things. A couple weeks ago I tried my first redhead. I decided to give it another try on Tilda with Balloon (an improvement, hurray) and I also used embellishments. I mean more than my usual three gemstones. I love the look but am not all that comfortable with it. It took me longer than usual but I think it turned out decent enough. Next, 4X6 cards. Wish me luck.
