Try Stampin on Tuesday #47 and Our Creative Corner Bright and Happy New Year

Hi All!
Feeling much better! Thank god! To celebrate I checked out a couple of challenges. First I needed my sketch so I went on over to Try Stampin on Tuesday and here was their sketch:
Now I needed my colors so I headed on over to Our Creative Corner and their color challenge was awesome for the new year:
                                                    
Here is what I came up with:


I chose to use my Flower Fancy set as I had not touched it in a while and was missing it! I also used the watercolor pencils and used the brightest green, yellow, pink and purple pencils. I brightened it even more by using Gamsol on the pencils before coloring with them. They are very bright in person, but I don't think my phone camera cant quite catch it!! I finished the design by using pieces of Concord Crush DP layed on black. Everything looks better on black right? Finally I tied the card shut with the new Sale-a-bration Lucky Limeade organza ribbon. Thanks for checking out my card!

I love the fact that you incorporated a different card fold into the sketch. Nice job! Thanks for playing along at TST!

Karin great minds think alike. My card is done the same way and I hadn't seen any of the other cards until I posted mine. Smart thinking of combining two challenges together as well.

Great Job!

You are right, a gatefold works perfectly for the sketch. Thanks for playing at Try Stampin.
