I was feeling Challenged today.....

I'm early for the Tag Tuesday Challenge (that's a new thing for me) and I'm squeaking in just in time for the Play Date Cafe Challenge. Both are color challenges, using 2 of the same colors so why not go for two.

Play Date Cafe enticed me with Olive, Red and Turquoise so I made a little winter scene with my favorite little "Winking Reindeer"......

I'm also entering this in the month-long challenge at Hero Arts as I used an the acrylic block stamping technique on the background.

Louise at Kard Krazy challenged us to make tags using Red, Turquoise and Navy. I actually started this tag yesterday..another mosaic background with the old HA shadow stamp.

 I set it aside because I wasn't sure how to finish it. Thank you, Louise! All it needed was some red! That spiffed it right up in a jiffy. I'm calling the gold embossing a holiday neutral so I hope this will fit the color constraints.

~ Psalms 95:1-2 ~

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;

let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before Him with Thanksgiving

and extol Him with music and song.

blessings,
