Tic Tac Toe Challenge #292

 Here is the challenge board for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #292:

I used the middle row for my card:  floral, free, white/cream

The barrel stamp & die is from Penny Black and the floral image and tag are from PaperTrey Ink.  I just wish my real flowers bloomed as well as these, lol!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #735

 Here is the new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches:

I varied the sketch a little bit to include two larger squares at the top left and right corners.

Just a nice, bright, cheery card for someone.  Cards for Kindness is always in need of "hello" cards, so this will be perfect to send to them.

Color Hues Challenge #132

 Here is the current Color Hues Challenge:

I went with paler hues of these two colors for my card.  After embossing the floral image onto white cardstock, I lightly inked the flowers in yellow and the background in blue, then adhered to a light blue card, and added a sentiment stamped in dark grey.  I used a clear shimmer pen to outline around some of the flower petals for just a little bit of shimmer.

52 Christmas Card Throwdown - May sketch challenge

 Here is the May sketch challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.

Here's my card for the challenge:

The image was stamped and heat embossed in gold, and then I added gold mats to the banners and the stamped image.  

Mix It Up Challenge for May - stamped background

 It's May 1st and time for a new Mix It Up Challenge!   This time our challenge is to create a stamped background on your project.

Here's my card, using a banner stamp from Avery Elle.

I stamped the banner five times in various colored inks, and then filled in the empty spaces with small star and burst stamps.  The final touch on the background was adding a few dots of clear sparkle pen.  The sentiment was die cut from black cardstock, using a combination of my Cricut and some alphabet dies from My Favorite Things.

You have until mid-June to join in our challenge.  Can't wait to see all your stamped backgrounds!

TicTacToe Challenge #291

 Here is the new TicTacToe Challenge board:

I chose the top horizontal row for my card:  CAS, Die cut/punch, floral.

The rose was stamped and stenciled, then I backed it with a white diecut frame and added a sentiment and three clear dewdrops.  The rose image was actually much larger, so I just fussy cut a portion of it.

AAA Cards Challenge #313

 AAA Cards is hosting a color challenge, to use at least three of the four colors below on your card.

I ended up using all four colors for my ice cream card.

I tried to match Olo marker colors to the four challenge colors, and then used a couple of inks to match the orange and blue violet colors for the confetti stamp.  Silver holographic paper was used to mat the card front and add a little sparkle.  I wouldn't normally have used these colors together, but it ends up with a nice mix of orange sherbet, strawberry ice cream and maybe a huckleberry ice cream, lol!
