A few STV Challenges

So Ladies this is my newest July/August DT position.  I don't know if you have ever seen Innovation Stamp Creations stamps but boy oh boy - do I love them!  These images are just so realistic and gorgeous!  This is my first attempt - and to be honest, I don't card for this card.  I didn't do justice to this beautiful stamp! (The Tropics) However, the color challenge over at STV was blue and green so I went with it.  When I get done I am suppose to mail these into Betsy, the owner.  Not so much this one - maybe the next one... LOL

 



















This card is for the STV sketch challenge.  I fell in love with the sketch!  I almost missed it - [to busy doing other projects.]  So glad I was able to play with this one.  I will use this again!!  I used GKD stamp sets Hope Grows, illustrated by Theresa Momber and Take Flight, by Gina K herself.  Papers are also from GKD; Cranberry Tart and Aqua Mist with white.



















and, my last card (I am getting sleepy) is the Christmas Card Challenge.  This week was "your own style" - since I really still have not figured out my "style" I just went with a sketch by CPS and used my fun snowman image by Stampendous.  I think this guy is to perfect for the holidays.  I also used my new Signature Christmas stamps from Paper Trey Ink.  Love this handwriting by Dawn McVey.

Okay, that's it for today.  Still getting ready for my vacation in 2 days!  Lake Chelan here I come!!I am so excited~~  Thanks for stopping by~  Vicki

Congrats on your new DT gig Vicki! what an interesting stamp set - you are way too critical - this is lovely! and the butterfly is just gorgeous. Nice to get a jump on your holiday cards too!

(note: FYI I cannot read the lime green text on your blog posts - it blends into your green background it turns red when I run over it - but otherwise I cannot read it)
