Team Color Challenge

Hi there all! Welcome to Mrs. Lincoln's Inkin' and today's card share!!! I hope you all had a nice long weekend!  We spent ours doing nothing but playing dress-up, hide-n-seek, bon fires, popcicles... it was all about family this holiday weekend and i LOVE those kind of weekends.  Sometimes with the pace of busy living we don't get enough of those and the "little" years are just going to pass right on by!!!  Anyway, let's get on to the project today lol:)

A member of my stamping team gave us a color challenge the other day.  She picked out 4 amazing colors and we needed to come up with a project using those colors! I love sketches and challenges!!! It really gets your mind going.  Especially if you are "stuck".

These are the colors that we had to work with:

I decided to do a Christmas card but not a "traditional" card. I used one of my favorite sets from the annual catalog, Work of Art. I just think that it is such a diverse set and i love the look of it.  Maybe because it really has no rhyme or reason... you could use it to create whatever you wanted.  Nevertheless it is the set that i am showcasing today!!

Well that is it for today!!!  Hope you all enjoyed and until next time...
Happy Inkin'

Upline Challenge

Hello all. Welcome to another share here at Mrs. Lincoln's Inkin'!!

Today's share is my card for my up-line challenge.  My up-line, France Martin sends all that want to participate a few products and we have to come up with a project and then we mail those projects back to her and one, of all those that participated, get picked and we get all of the projects that were submitted.  I have not yet gotten all of the projects (boo hoo) but hopefully one of these days i will, lol!!!

This time we got sent some of the new Foil Paper, that is in the Holiday Mini right now.  This paper comes in Gold and Silver. This paper is so AWESOME!!!! I chose to use the Joyful Christmas stamp set and chose to stamp the poinsettia and cut it out into layers, highlighting the stamp as well as the paper.

My card measures average size of 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4".  My base card is Real Red card stock and then I topped it with a piece of Whisper White, after i ran it through my Big Shot and my Pretty Print Embossing Folder.  Another item that is in the Holiday Mini.  I didn't want my card to be too busy... i didn't want to distract your eye away from my flower, which would be hard anyway since it is huge, lol... but nevertheless i only added a piece of Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon.

Not familiar with the stamp set Joyful Christmas?  Well here is a closer look at the entire set!

I also wanted to showcase the Foil Sheets (Have i mentioned how awesome these are?!?!?!?!?)

Well, that's it for today all. I hope that you enjoyed today's share and until next time...

Happy Inkin'
