Dana Stamps!

Happy Monday evening! Yes, Monday's almost over! I was just a stampin' away this evening, relaxing and trying to make myself do quite the challenge, you know the "out of your comfort zone" type of a challenge. But much to my surprise, it was really fun and not as scarey as it seemed! What is always helpful to me is finding something that inspires you. Pick out a page in a magazine or look at some paintings, and other wall art, and then put it into action! Pick out a color combo from the Color Coach (121620) or use the colors that you see in what you've chosen to use as your sketch. I've used this sketch from another blog www.mojomonday.blogspot.com. Every Monday they have a new sketch.

This project is done in Cajun Craze (regals collection page 168) it looks like Pumpkin Pie in the picture but its not, I promise.
