Rubber Stamp Chat Oct & Cupcake Craft Week 60

I decided to redo my RSC for October because I forgot I have some Bombshell stamps! Since they are hosting it, I wanted to use them...plus if I win, I'll be entered in their October contest too! :) How cool is that. Plus it gave me a chance to practice my coloring. I tried something new since I don't have a lot of Copic's yet, I squished my stamp pad down to get some ink on the lid, then used my copic blender to pick up the color, then colored her in.

I used the colors shown, the green is Handsome Hunter, all by Stampin' Up. I just learned this technique in a Stampin' Up meet up group through Laura Thorpe. Thanks Laura!!
I also incorporated the Cupcake Craft Challenge Week 60 which was "Thanks a Bunch". Mahalo is a Hawaiian word meaning thanks, gratitude, admiration, praise, esteem, regards, respects...perfect for my card!
Here is the Rubber Stamp Chat sketch and my card:

Apron Strings #10, RSC Oct & Unity Week #3

Happy Monday!
It's a gorgeous day in CA! Just wish I could be outside scrapping! Or be in a sun room. I love the warmth of the sun! But then I suppose I would get sleepy and want to take a nap and wouldn't get any scrapping done! hahaha :)
Ok, so no scrapping just card making here today!
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Apron Strings offered a challenge to make a pink card. I combined this challenge with the Rubber Stamp Chat Challenge HERE and also the Unity Bachelor Challenge Week #3, which was to use polka dots and plaid. I like how this polka dot/plaid card turned out much better than my previous one! I used my cricut to cut the scalloped circles and the paper is Making Memories. The ribbon is Maya Road.
