Here is my card to the ColourQ Challenge #26 and the 2Sketch4you sketch challenge. I am so glad to be back stamping and creating once again. Been out of it for a couple of weeks...boy have I missed it. My card is very basic today....great dp.....some ribbon....some punches....and the great Tiny Tags stamp set from stamping up!!
My card today was created for 2 challenges...the Mojo Monday sketch and the SCS color combo with a twist challenge: the twist, use a smooched flower. I just love these flowers....they are so fun to make and they look great both on a card and on a memory album page. The color combo for this week was to use Bermuda Bay, So Saffron, and Gray. I stamped the Checkerboard background on my So Saffron section of the circle and added some ink to the flower as well....the flower center was created by stamping Bermuda Bay cardstock with Bermuda Bay ink in the tiny flower stamp from Stampin Up's Tiny Tags....I also created some tags with that stamp set using So Saffron on my tag stamp and Bermuda Bay on the accents that I added to the tags....I tied them on with Linen Thread....my gray square was embossed and layered over a So Saffron ribbon. Thanks for stopping by to have a look!! Let me know what you think......
This week the Color Throwdown team is saying good by to Cathy Indelicato and she was the one to give the color combo this week.......I was inspired not only by the colors but by the butterflies this week. I have really missed playing along.....due to things here at home and then the fact that I hurt my back last week. It feel good to be back creating!! Cathy, I will miss seeing you examples each week!!!
My card base is Very Vanilla...BajaBreeze DP for my bottom half...Garden Green for my trio of squares...butterflies were cut out using my Butterfly Embosslits embossing die...decorated with alittle Garden Green ink and blue rhinestones...layers on top of some BajaBreeze ribbon. The sketch for my card is from the CAS challenge. Thanks for stopping by and having a look. Head on over to the Color Throwdown Challenge and say good-bye to Cathy.....and play along!!
So, this weekend I had a Scrap Fest on Saturday and between hurting my back (carrying in supplies) and help other people this is the only page I got done!! I love how it turned out though. I am thinking of framing it and giving it to my mother in law. The two pictures on this page were taken at her house in Florida. The has the best luck with bird baths. The birdies just flock to it and splash and play. I have never had any luck with bird baths.
For this page I used Kraft 12 x 12 from Stampin Up, along with Always Artichoke, DP and Ruby Red cardstock. My circle of brads was made using Vanilla brads....the stems for my flower were cut on the CM wave cutter--added knotted ribbons for the leaves.....the Ruby Red circle was embossed using my CB and an embossing folder.....the smooshed flowers were punched from an old book--I trimmed two of them so they would be smaller.....my little birdie was created with the New Stampin Up 2 Step bird punch....the title letters were cut out with my Provo Craft letter and CB....I also did alot of sponging. Thanks for stopping by.....let me know what you think.
Today's challenge over at SCS was to use a colorful basket....either a 3D basket or a basket stamp. The cute little baskets in the example list really caught my eye and I just had to make some!! You are right your really don't want to stop at one!! Check out this youtube video if you want to give it a try:
Here is my card for this week's color challenge from the Color Throwdown team. This week we were to us Taken with Teal, Soft Sky, Tangerine Tango, and Black. I had to substitute a couple of these because I have run out of them.....but I think I got it close. My butterflies were punched out using the Martha Stewart punch and the background of the circle was created with sponges using Baja Blue, Taken with Teal, and Dusty Durango. I needed a sympathy card and to me these colors worked great to create this type of card. The sketch for this card was Wednesday's sketch challenge over at SCS. Come join the fun and play along!!
