Color Throwdown #801

It seems I've found a little more time to craft since preschool has ended for

our granddaughters. It was a great year as we head into summer with hopefully

 some crafting time for Grandma.

 

I decided to join Color Throwdown #801 since some Concord & 9th goodies

arrived and I was looking forward to playing with them.

And here's my card using Poolside Dies.

I realize that's a lot of blue in the background so I may be disqualified even though

it's a shade of blue. I tried embossing the waves on white and it just didn't look good,

so blue it was. 

I assembled the girl and popped her up on the inner tube. The sentiment was stamped

before embossing and I'm glad it's readable. Clear drops finished off the card.

My next project is to make her interactive. A task for when I have more time.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I'm off to link this up--if I remember how to do it.

Color Throwdown #762

I'm entering Color Throwdown #762 because my PTI order arrived and I thought the 

color palette matched perfectly with the dies.

 

Here's my card using Into the Blooms: Christmas Sprigs Dies.

 

 After embossing a kraft card with SSS Vine Canopy I adhered the foliage and berries

to the corner. The sentiment was triple stacked and adhered to the card.

Color Throwdown #753

I'm entering a card to Color Throwdown #753 just under the wire, as always. 

Here's the challenge colors: pink, aqua, yellow and lime.

 

 The colors made me think about flowers and I pulled out The Greetery's

Spring Meadow Stencil which fit the bill.

I used inks from The Stamp Market and Altenew. I'm not really sure of the names

because I was just grabbing colors and stenciling as I went along.

I stamped the sentiment and used a set of matting dies to cut out the panel.

I adhered it to a light gray card base and finished off with some clear enamel dots.

I'd better link this before I miss another deadline. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Color Throwdown Challenge #735

 

Here's the graphic for Color Throwdown Challenge #735 with blue, brown, and rust

as this week's colors.

 

 

 

And here's my card using Simon Says Stamp's Paper Layering Circles. 

Dana Joy mentioned the circles look like geodes, which they do. Here's my geode.

The circles were cut from mostly patterned papers and I threw in a bit of glitter paper

for interest. A Memory Box sentiment, a few enamel dots, and a rounded right corner

finished off the card.
