Now, I've explained before that I don't have any Stampin' Up! inks or papers, and I have to try to match these colours as best I can. And I think I've done a reasonable job this time.
I love these circle stamps from Stampin' Up! - they are so versatile, and they work particularly well on cards for guys. And I think this one's suitable for a man. I got a super pack of A6 kraft cards in my local craft shop this week - so much easier than having to make each card! I started off by randomly stamping a few of the circles in Versamark and then clear embossing them. The larger circle images were stamped with Versamark and distress inks, then clear embossed. I used Faded Jeans - Not Quite Navy, Tumbled Glass - Baja Breeze, Fired Brick - Cherry Cobbler, and Spiced Marmalade - Tangerine Tango. I used the coordinating Stampin' Up! punches to cut the circle out. Then it was simply a case of arranging them on the card base. Finally, I added a greeting using white detail embossing powder. The card design is loosely based on FTL114.
Scouts last night was great fun - but unfortuantely, we weren't able to see the stars owing to a very thick layer of cloud!!! Still the kids had fun learning about the Solar System, a bit about space exploration and some of the constellations. Hopefully, we'll get an opportunity to actually look at the stars soon.
Half-term holidays have started in our area. Ben arrives today, he'll be staying with us for the holidays. Really looking forward to seeing him. Who knows, Ben may even decide to talk about school and what he's been up to recently!! Kathryn has lots of plans for the week off - lots of activities, hopefully a trip or two to the cinema and a sleepover too! Consequently, I may not be able to post as often as I'd like. But I should be back again later today with a few more posts. Take care, see you soon.

Hi Deborah! Nice take on the challenge. Thanks for playing the ColourQ challenge again with us this week.
Sounds like you are going to be very busy & I do hope you have a good time with Ben. I love the combination of Kraft & white & I think you do a pretty good matching job with the Memento inks. Love the way you've picked up the textures in the photo with your circles.
