Today Carolina from Stamp TV has arranged a Color Challenge Blog Hop for us. Geri from the Alumni Design Team has chosen the colors of pink, red and one neutral (white, black or tan) for the challenge.
If you have come from Karen's blog (I' m sure you loved her card) you are right on target! If not, you might want to start at the beginning of Stamp TV right here. So you will not miss any of the amazing projects!
Here is my 1st card:
This used the stamps from Seasonal Labels - the sweet little "love" sentiment is from the same set - I just did a little masking and was able to just use the love part of the stamp. The cardstock is Black Onyx from Gina K.
Since the card is black, I put this on the inside in order to make it a little easier to write on:
The next card uses the "blackboard technique" that seems to be so popular now.
The darling little owl &stamp sentiment are from Sun-Kissed Autumn, the swirls are from Seasonal Labels, and the little heart is from Ticket Trio. The beautiful scroll frame is from an older set that has
FABULOUS frames for making those neat chalkboard frames you see on Pinterest and is called Festive Labels (check it out here). One of the things I like about Gina K stamp sets is that she packs so many stamps in a set, it is easy to find little ones that look great on those chalkboard cards.
Make sure to leave a comment as you go along because we will choose a
random comment and that stamper will win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs
products! Look for the announcement on Tuesday, February 12.
Now go along to Geri's blog and get ready to say "wow", because she always has the most beautiful cards!
Thanks for looking at my card and have a Happy stamping day!

Amazing cards and your designs are beautiful! The first card is phenomenal.
These are gorgeous, Joy! Thanks for showing us the inside - I always wonder what to include inside so it won't overtake the beauty of the outside!
Funny, but until about two weeks ago I'd never heard of the blackboard technique - now I'm seeing it everywhere. Weird!
I love how you combine all your colors & patterns. They coordinate perfectly.
Your first card is so very pretty and what wonderful patterns - they look great together!!!
And you blackboard owl is so cute!!!
Great cards. I love how you did the inside for the sentiment and writing a note. Neat use of the blackboard technique on the second card. Love the owl.
Fantastic cards, Joy!!! I love the first one with the sweet layers and you've packed some WOW into the backboard technique!!! I must try that technique.
Every card is just a work of art!
All gorgeous!
Love your cards. I have to try that blackboard technique, and thanks for showing the inside of your card, too. The inside is where I usually lose my way.
Nice layers and combos!
Beautiful cards. Love the first one with all that pretty design paper.

Being a Scot I couldn't help but love the tartan (plaid) background! Haven't noticed the blackboard trend here but what a great idea - especially with the scholarly owl. Great cards.

Both the cards are wonderful. But my favorite is the black board technique one. Such a cute owl too.
Gorgeous and such fun! Your creativity shines.
Great cards!
I like the way in which you lined the black card, and that owl card is so sweet. That could be a masculine card and I always need ideas for those.
