Bronnies Stamping Spot

OK, so I tried to be a little bit creative in a way that I don't usually go. I looked at the picture for Beat's creative challenge and thought, 'oh look at the knitted toy on the seat. Maybe I could do something with that.' So I off I go with my oval punch and punched the toy. But as he got created he started to look...well, a bit strange and he didnt really turn out the way I wanted to but I thought, 'oh well, it will make people laugh...perhaps.' So, I think it is a bit of a blooper but I still had the courage to put it out there for others. Here is the picture of inspiration

Here is my strange wee fellow
In an attempt to redeem myself I have tried to pick up the blue floor boards and the white from the childs bed.
Let me know what you think.

I have tried to pick up on the red trim of the cushion and thought a saying that involved dreams was appropriate for cushion. I used a couple of pearls on the centre flowers. I think it turned out quite well.

I think I am becoming a challenge addict, but I love the challenge.

Makeesa has posed another challenge and just like in Alisa's challenge, I can see Turquoise!!!! Seems to be the colour of the month for these women but I can't say I am a big fan of it. Here is the picture that is the focus of the challenge:
I can see the following colours: Creamy Caramel, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Black, Whispher White and a strange little bobbly lamp stand. I saw Soft sky but have none of that left so had to go without that one. So here is what I came up with: The colours didn't really come out the way I had hoped because the sun is going down but trust me, I used Tempting Turquoise (and I can even spell it now). I used to pearls to replicate the lamp stand in case you are wondering what they are doing on the card.

Because I live in the tropics you would think that a colour challenge that uses an advert titled 'tropical delight' should be easy to do, wouldn't you but no. Alisa's colour challenge was exactly that. And since when did Soft Sky and Tempting Turquoise go together?
For starters I only have a scrap of Groovy Guava left over from the SU feild training night and secondly I used all my tempting turquoise on the card swaps for the SU night and only have scraps left of that colour. What to do....??? So here is my improvisation for lack of card. Thank goodness I had some soft sky left!
I picked up on the flowers and lines in the doonah.

I am not surprised that my last post was the 20th October. I have been a bit buzy and have been spending my days off up on the Atherton tablelands at Adriannes so today is the first day that I have had at home and have not had to go to work (touch wood!). So today, aircon on, DVD on, stamping stuff...everywhere. No church this morning, going tonight so some good quality time with me and my stamps. I have made a few creations today, well three. One for a challenge and two for the markets. Here are the market cards: This card uses a stamp set from the up and coming summer catalogue that we got at the Stampin Up field training night held here in Cairns at the Hilton called Live your dreams.
