MIM #75 - Entry #2 Under the Wire!

I am getting this in just under the wire.  I had a great time yesterday participating in the Stamp-A-Faire.  I will most likely be posting those projects later, only one or two are completed, the rest are skeletons waiting to be fleshed out.

This is the second Roll the Dice MIM card I did.  My computer is doing something weird with PDF files, like not opening them.  I posted on the forum for help and Derbylea was kind enough to send an attachment.  Thank you!

My second bunch of rolls called for a Vertical layout using Sketch #1, Stitches and Swirls and We Go Together stamp sets plus patterned paper using the colors of Summer Sunrise, Classic Kraft, Canyon Clay, Spring Moss and Aqua Mist.  

I thought I did OK.  The buttons are Spring Moss, don't know if you can tell or not.  It was fun cutting up the sentiment to use a little differently as far as placement goes.  I used just the swirly bits from the Stitches and Swirls stamp set.  I have trouble using that one, don't know why.

First...Challenge, Sketch, MIM

I have been a rabid Papertrey Ink user/shopper/follower for several years now but always as a watcher.  This weeks MIM video for some reason inspired me to want to participate.  I've made lots of cards using the MIM concepts and techniques but never wanted to participate.

I'm not saying that I really like this particular card but I really enjoyed the PROCESS of creating it.  I have never created from a sketch and wouldn't normally have used these colors.  Everything about it is outside my comfort zone.  I didn't know it would be so satisfying!

I thought I would edit the post to include what my challenges were: Horizontal layout of sketch #5 using Trendy Tree Tops, Background Basics: Farm and Barn, glitter as an embellishment and the color combo of pure poppy, summer sunrise, simply chartreuse and aqua mist.  It probably took me 2 hours of messing around!
