SCS Color Challenge - CC224 Again and Barlow Girl Videos

Hello Friends! I loved yesterday SCS Color Challenge so much. . .I decided to create another one using the same colors: Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, and Summer Sun. If you want to try it out it's SCS Color Challenge - CC224 I even used the same SU stamp set as yesterday's card. . ."Dream A Little".

I'm trying to create more cards with floral images. I've been creating a lot of cards with cutsey images for the past 3 months or so because of my DT obligations and haven't had a chance to use any of my floral stamps. I can only make so many cards in a day so my obligations come first. I also want to make more elegant cards. . .something that can sometimes be a challenge for me. I'm drawn to bright bold colors and to use neutral colors, which elegant cards require, is a difficult process for me.

Anyway. . .I really had a fun time making this card. Do you see the ribbon going across the oval? Well, that is to cover up something I messed up. LOL! Initially, I had added dots and it turned out crooked. Uggggh! Yeah, it wasn't a design I initially wanted but it turned out okay in the end.

I colored my images with both SU inks and Copic Markers. I cut out the flowers and remounted them with foam tape to pop it a little

Are you satisfied with your card making? I feel I've been stagnant. I was looking through my SCS gallery and my cards are not that much different from 2 years ago. . .I do take better photos now because I have a better camera but my style is still basically the same.

Here is a card I made two years ago. . .okay. . .not too different from now, huh? I was still cutting my images from back then! LOL! I think I may need to create different cards once in a while. It's hard because it takes time to do something different and I've gotten into sort of a routine that I can finish a card within 30 minutes to 45 minutes which I love. It frees my day up to actually clean the house or pursue other interest. I'll try to work harder and do something different once in a while.

Anyway. . enough of my babbling. I do tend to write a lot. I believe most of you don't read what I write . . .LOL! That's okay. . I sometimes read back at what I wrote and it helps bring me back to where I was at when I wrote it. . .sorta like a journal. You should write more on your blogs. . .it's like a date stamp of what you did the day you posted your blog.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Before I go. . .I wanted to share these two videos. . .both by "Barlow Girl". This first song is called "Never Alone". Barlow Girl is a Christian Rock band and the singer has such a beautiful voice. Their music are so inspirational.

I especially love the second song below "I Need You To Love Me". The song is so beautiful I wanted to share it you. Let me know what you think! I hope you love it like I do!!
