Well, my plan for NaBloPoMo week 2 was to do color challenges, but I’ve still got a bunch of projects that I’ve never posted, so I’m going to just keep working through them.

Another card I made this summer – most of the supplies are retired Stampin’ Up! products. The funny thing about that purple chipboard frame is that I actually inked with Chocolate Chip classic ink…who knew? Colored in with markers and then Crystal Effects on the cherries to make them look juicy and...
