I am so excited that this is my 1st post for Stampendous and I get to play along with a fun and easy color challenge! This month we are going to play with colors – Pink, Brown, Cream and Gold. Use at least 3 of the colors on your card! The colors can be by way of papers, coloring implements, inks, and/or any of the fabulous Stampendous Essentials. If you’ve been stuck in a traditional holiday color mode, this is your opportunity to think outside the Christmas crayon box!
Being an overachiver, I decided to use all 4 colors on my card. Well besides the fact that I had to try out my new Stampendous product – Frantage Aged Gold Embossing Enamel. Love the awesome vintage/bronzy look and it brings my stamped image to life – so cool. Check it out:
My sentiment is also from Stampendous – an older stamp from the Perfectly Clear Stamp Line (Happy Messages) and my border is Cling Jumbo Romantic Border.
We are giving away an Amore Frame Perfectly Clear™ Stamp set to a random winner. (sorry US winners only)
You don’t have to use a Stampendous image or products to play along, but we sure love it when you do! You have until Tuesday, January 3 at 11:59 PM EST to add your link to the linky tool, and we’ll draw a random winner. You can enter as many times as you’d like.
And a quick note about the linky tool below – it’s the exact same collection that is being shared on the Stampendous blog, and some of my teammates’ blogs. You can add your direct link to your project featuring those 3 or 4 colors (pink, brown, cream, gold) here on my blog, or any of the other blogs that are sharing the collection!

I am a mother to 2, a wife to 1, a daughter, a sister, a card maker, a scrapper, a knitter, a quilter, a shopaholic, a business owner, a wearer of many hats.
Papercrafting came into my life in 2006 after my son was born. He inspired me to create. The goal of my blog is to allow us to share and inspire each other with our art and for me to provide an update of sales events for my greeting card business,
