Just My Cuppa

Afternoon, y'all!  I can't seem to get ahead this week--I didn't end up getting anything made in my craft room yesterday after driving the hubs to his appointment, though I did get a nice fat box of SU! goodies unpacked.  Okay it seems like half of it was empty stamp cases to put my newly unmounted stamps in, but still, I do have some new stamp sets to play with.

So what did I do today?  Pulled out a stamp set that's been retired for years : )

I was very intrigued by the color challenge from Cupcake Inspirations:

I read it as Concord Crush, Peach Pie, and Basic Beige; the first two are long-retired In Colors and I particularly love that super-dark purple.  I was thinking about these colors a lot yesterday but couldn't get them to work in my brain with any of the current sketch challenges, so enter the new Freshly Made Sketch:

And then my card came together very quickly, go figure.  Once again I stamped directly on DSP (a Basic Beige pattern from Peaceful Garden) and then the rest of it was just playing with the colors and the patterns in an old In Color DSP stack.  A few rhinestones that have probably been in my stash for like ten years and it's done.

Ryan has STEM club after school today which means extra crafty time, so I'd better go use it since he's got early release on Friday and I haven't done this week's Nancy Drew cards yet.  Back up to the craft room I go.  Cheers!
