Oh happy Friday everyone! Today I'm posting a fun for me-time card. I just said I have no time ,but I'm going to get out a few new items that I haven't had the time to play with and use them! So with that, here's a quick card for these challenges. Mix-Ability Challenge - MIX183: Stop Color Bullying  - Dina Kowal is hosting the Mix-Ability challenge and it is all about poor Pantone 488C. Stop color bullying NOW! Head on over to the challenge forum for all the details. I attempted to capture this color by mixing Burnt Umber and Olive Green Light acrylic paints which is much darker in real life than the doily stencil print on my card. A Vintage Journey - Monochromatic Challenge #43  - This is a new challenge to me and I certainly hope I can fit in the time in to try out their monthly challenges more often. Details: Stamps: Be Classy (Concord and 9th) Paper: Sulphite white paper for monoprint (Pacon), Early Espresso (Stampin' Up) In...

I'm excited about so many of the products and given a special Narnia wardrobe to allow time to stand still, I would sit in my studio and design with almost every new product.
