Nachos: Enjoy the Ride

Happy Tuesday, Nacho fans!  It's time for another Nacho Average Color Challenge!

Of course with those three colors, the first thing that popped into my head was Halloween, but it's February so I did this instead:

The layout is kinda based on one I've seen Rita use quite a few times (though usually she has multiple skinny banners to my one fat one).  Still, it's a CASE and she should get credit :)

Now let's all go check out the Nacho blog for more eye candy, shall we?  Cheers, peeps!

Nachos: Many Thanks

Morning, Nacho fans!  It is time once again for another fabulous Nacho Average Color Challenge.  So without further ado, here it is:

I haven't used Hello Honey very often, unless it's in combination with Blackberry Bliss, because I love that combination :)  I was in the mood to do some watercoloring, so here's my card:

The matryoshka dolls are from the set Today & Everyday, which has three images in it that are just prime for watercoloring.  Or Blendabilities, but I don't have any of those...YET.

So, now it's your turn!  Take a look at the Nacho blog and post your own Nacho-riffic creation for us to ooh and ahh over :)

Cheers, peeps!

I Am Not Left-Handed

Oy.  I've been having trouble with my right wrist for several years now, but usually it's only cranky if I do things like pushups or moving a lot of boxes.  As of yesterday I think that my wrist is starting a shock and awe campaign.  Yeah Mom, I know:  I need to see a doctor.  Surgery may be in my future.

But let's ignore that for now and see what I made today.

This stamp set is on the page in the catalog where they talk all about coloring with Blendabilities, but I don't have those so I went old skool and colored with my ink pad lids, with a bit of marker to really make the shadows deeper.  I started out with this awesome color palette from The Color Throwdown:

My colors ended up more saturated though so I wonder if I can still count this for the challenge?  Plus I had to use a bit of Pool Party to give my paper lanterns a background.

I was a little better about sticking closely to the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

Well, a little better anyway ;)

That's it for me, typing one-handed is slow going.  Cheers, peeps!
