SPCC color combo #10....

Hey Chicas...It's challenge number 10, yeah!!!! I really LOVE this color combo....
I went to my FIRST SU meeting...well, my friend took me to her upline meeting...she just got back from the convention...I got some GREAT ideas...I'm very close to joining the team of SU...I'm still thinking about it, i know you guys are like what is there to think about..lol....I have to be 110% positive this is for ME....
Okay, so #10 wow..how great!! And, I just talked up SPCC at the meeting...lol..Samantha, you ears must of been ringing..lol....
On this challenge I used my new stamp set "flight of the butterfly" I love it!! love butterflies!!
I stamped it with just a basic black and colored it with some pretty in pink marker.
The paper, I only had the palm plum in SU paper, the other paper was Cricut. The pumpkin color I embossed with some flowers and filed them to show the white.
I rounded the edges, and cute my stamp into fours & mounted it on pop ups ....I also did the bow tech again...love doing it..it's easy and fast..lol

I love the saying...I'm about to send it to my girlfriend that lives in Cali...she has been a great friend!!
Thanks guys for stopping by to see my card!! Hope you like it.....

SPCC Challenge #9

Hey Chicas...I just finished my SPCC #9...I finally got my SU cardstock and I was able to have three out of four colors this week..yah for me!! lol... I need to purchase some more cardstock..Maybe I need to become a SU demo...wha cha think Sammye JO???? lol

Okay, so.....Here is my fun card, I tired something different, I used a bow tech that I use a lot on my invitations...it's fun and easy, If you would like to know, ask, I will tell the secret..lol

I also used some choco paper embossed by my girl Sammye Jo over at 62 Cards, I don't have the cuttlebug so she hooks me up with some for a GREAT price....check it out if you need some embossed paper...

Maybe Santa will be nice to me this year....lol

I bought some stamps online, they are okay, they were a little hard to work with, I need to get used to them, but they were a really good price....can't turn that down..lol

The cutout is from my accent essentials cartridge from the bug...


Okay so here is the card..........Hope U like!! xoxoxoxoxox Cristina
