Partridge in a Pear Tree - PPA 17

Ok, I was stumped for a stamp set to use on  the Pals Paper Art sketch.  I had been using Cheep Talk earlier in the day and it was still out, and then it hit me, a partridge in a pear tree (with some snowflakes of course).  The pears are inked in Summer Sun and rolled in Sahara Sand.  The bird is inked in Real Red and rolled in Basic Brown.  Happy Holidays!

PPA11 Color Challenge

I have been blog surfing for some time now, and there are a few blogs I love to follow.  I like the clean and simple look of the projects they post.  And now, that I have decided to blog myself, I am motivated by the challenge of Paper Pal Arts.  The color challenge was to use Perfect Plum, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.  I needed to break out a new set from the Holiday Mini, Wandering Words, and dive in.  I used the markers to ink the fall stamp.  The ribbon is from the Mistletoe Collection in the Holiday Mini as well.  I also opened the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.  I applied the paint to the card base and to the stamped image also.  Can't wait to try the other 2 stamps in the Wandering Words set.

Happy Fall
