H2H Challenge: Easy As 1,2,3

Another weekend is gone.


While most people may dread Mondays, I love them! Why? Because the boys go back to school and I can have a little peace around the house...until Knock-Out needs someone to play with, that is.

I also love Mondays because that means it is time for another Heart 2 Heart challenge! This week we have a 1/2/3 challenge for you. Now I know what some of you may be thinking,

"Ack! Math!"


But this will be painless, I promise. For this week, you need to create something using:

♥ 1 stamp, must be a CTMH stamp

♥ 2 different design papers

♥ 3 embellishments (3 different ones or 3 of the same kind)

I was kind of challenged by this one...only use one stamp? Could I do that?

Turns out I could...


Stamps: CTMH Four Seasons
Inks: Stazon Timber Brown, CTMH Desert Sand, Garden Green, Olive, Creme Brulee
Papers: Bella Reflections Kit, Evensong Reflections Kit

I stamped the summer tree from the Four Seasons set onto watercolor paper. Actually, I used a 2nd generation image because I felt the ink was just too dark for the card. I used a waterbrush and my ink pads to paint the tree, sky and ground. Then I sponged Desert Sand around the edges.


My three embellishments are, of course, the Twill ribbon, antiqued copper bitty brad, and the Colonial White button.


As always, don't forget to check out the other DT members beautiful creations!
