Well, I thought I was doing this week’s color challenge, but I must not have had both eyes open when I looked at the challenge. I thought for sure the colors were Blue Bayou, Chocolate Chip and River Rock. Nope. It’s Sahara Sand. Oh well. (I like this combo too!)
I liked the mottled look I got on my Webster’s Goes Western card (from a few days ago), so I decided to try the same type of thing here. I first inked the flower stamp with Blue Bayou then put the inked stamp directly into my Chocolate Chip pad. I like the different looks you get combining different ink colors. (Just be sure to always ink with the lighter color first!!)
The dotted paper is from SU’s new Apple Cider designer series paper. I sponged the edges here a bit with Chocolate Chip.
For the sentiment, I inked the smaller words with Blue Bayou, trying to keep the ink off of the bigger words (but not trying *too* hard), then I used my Chocolate Chip marker to go over those.
Now…about this give-away, I have been totally (and I mean *totally*) overwhelmed with the number of responses and the VERY kind words. I really do appreciate you guys coming here to read my thoughts and see what I’m doing. I’ll try to answer all of your questions soon!! HUGS!!!
And the winner (determined by random draw) is #288 Sharlene Wale! Please email me with your address!!! And CONGRATULATIONS!!! 
Thanks for looking, everyone, and have a great day!!
