Character Cafe Feature Friday & Blog hop

Hey all-

I promise to get my blog post earlier on Fridays!! I made a card last night and needed to get a picture during the day! I recently bought a photo studio box with lighting so I can do indoor shots! I need to practice working with it.

This week at The Character Cafe was a color challenge by Rachel! She picked some great colors that I knew would be a challenge for me! I was a little nervous but I came up with a plan! LOL

Here is my card:

Supplies:

Stamp:

Cheer set

Paper:

Stampin Up!

Embellishments:

K & G

The wording around the stamp is word art from Microsoft. I also used a sketch from the Joy of Cardmaking! I love this book! It has all the sketches in it from the Joy of Cards.

I colored the Cheer image with Prismacolor pencils & blended it with Gamsol. The pom poms where the white is Stickles but it is hard to tell. I hope that you all will give this challenge a try! The prize is always outstanding & the images are just wonderful!

I also have a card to show you for a blog hop for my friend Heather! She recently had to seperate from Doodle Street but wants to keep her Fresh Brewed shop active. So she is having a few of us do a blog hop for her! I was lucky enough to get some awesome images and had a hard time choosing! I ended up using Decorate the tree with me.

Let me so you now:

Supplies:
