TSG #189 Color Challenge


     Using a color palette is not my strongest suit but that's what my TSG team mate Theresa has picked for this weeks challenge at There She Goes.


     I pulled out my Ninja Skillz stamp set to create this card.  I used a brick embossing folder for the background and inked it a bit.  Don't Ninja's usually end up fighting in dark alley ways?  LOL
     We'd love to have you play along with this week's challenge.  You just might nab a $5.00 gift certificate to the TSG store or you might find yourself in the Trendsetting Spotlight on our Thursday post.
     Listen to the Master Grasshopper and come play along.  ☺
     Happy Monday!


Supplies

  • Paper:  My Mind's Eye, Kraft Outlet Brown Kraft, Recollections, Copic XPress-it Blending card
  • Stamp:  There She Goes "Ninja Skillz"
  • Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics, Vintage Photo Distress ink
  • Tools:  MFT  Chevron  and Fish Tail Banners dies, Nestabilities Classic Ovals, sewing machine, Sizzix embossing folder
  • Miscellaneous:  Michaels button, Hang Tag String, Kaisercraft rhinestones

Hey Grasshopper! LOL Love your ninja card! Too cute! Very clever of you to use navy blue for the blue. Works great on this card & I love the brick wall. Now don't be hanging out in the alleys or you might just need a ninja. LOL Hi-yah!!!
