Who doesn't like a challenge!

I love challenges...especially paper crafting challenges!!! It's Wednesday, you know what that means...the Color Throwdown challenge AND the All That Scraps DT challenge...we'd love for you to play along in either or both challenges!!! There is no time limit. Just be sure to post a link on the color throwdown blog post or post your project in the gallery at ATS so we can check out your creation!

Here is my Color Throwdown color challenge card...I'll admit, these colors stumped me at first but I'm pretty pleased with the outcome...



Images by DRS Designs...



I added just a little bit of brown with the ribbon and the sentiment ink color. The pumpkin image was stamped in a more mustard ink color, but I stamped off once on scrap paper first so it appears lighter and the sentiment is easier to read. The focal panel is raised on pop dots. I then stamped the leaves on the more mustard like cardstock in versamark and then heat embossed them with clear powder and cut them out. The larger one is raised on a pop dot.

Be sure to check out the other designers cards and blogs as well.

And now for the ATS DT challenge - this week is a sketch challenge...



Here is my card...images from Spooky Scenes and Sugarplum Halloween...



The "spooky" sentiment is from Spooky, Spooky, Spooky! The black cat is covered with black glaze pen and actually pretty shiny in real life! The signs are adhered with pop dots. The yellow dew drops are from Michaels. A simple card, but I have to say that I really do like it! The patterned paper is more from my Walmart pack!I'm using it, but I'm not making much of a dent in it!!!

Be sure to check out the ATS blog to see what the other DT members did and if you decide to participate, be sure to use the keyword ATSDTC20 if you upload to an online gallery.

Thanks for checking in...hopefully I'll be back later with a card for today's sketch over on SCS.

See you soon...
