Thanks for Everything–CTD #362

CTD362_2015sep30


Hey, there! It’s time for another Color Throwdown Challenge! Vickie has these wonderful Fall colors for us to work with this week and I’m loving them!


swatch 362

My card started with a Kraft card stock base. I cut some Primitive White card stock with Blueprints 20 Die-namics and spread some embossing paste through English Brick Wall Stencil, stamped the sentiments, from LJD Fall Foliage with Chocolate Brown dye ink, and popped it up on foam mounting tape on the base. Next I cut Falling Leaves Die-namics from Orange Fizz card stock, Red Hot card stock, and Gumball Green card stock, sponged the edges with Chocolate Brown dye ink, and tied them onto the card with gold-shot baker’s twine, and finished off with some gold glitter enamel dots.

And that’s it from me! Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. If you don't, just use the closest you have. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week. Please use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily. And please include a link in your post to the Color Throwdown. If you upload your card to a public forum, please use the keyword CTD362 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd362 and #colorthrowdown on social media. Hope to see you there!

Hello–SSSC #288

SSSC288_2015sep27


Hello and welcome to this week’s Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! And what a fun sketch it is!! I love it!!


SSSC288
I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Next, on More Sweet Tooth card stock cut with Blueprints 20 Die-namics, I spread some embossing paste through Star Celebration Stencil and allowed it to dry before popping it up on the base with foam mounting tape. Next I added some Dots & Stripes Neutral Paper Pack cut with Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics and adhered to the embossed layer. Then, on a piece of Ranger watercolor paper, I did a wash using Razzle Berry dye ink, Orange Fizz dye ink, and Tangy Orange dye ink, splattered with clear water and Black Licorice dye ink. I cut an opening in some more Sweet Tooth card stock with Blueprints 12 Die-namics, popped it up on foam with the watercolored panel behind it and added Happy Hellos Die-namics cut from Steel Gray card stock. Some enamel dots and Silver Sparkle card stock stars, cut with Scattered Stars Die-namics and Blueprints 25 Die-namics finished it off!

Spread Your Wings–C4C #305

C4C305_2015sep26


Hello, all, and welcome to this week’s Crazy 4 Challenges! This week we’re challenged to use the color blue as the dominant color on our projects.

I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then added a strip of Dots & Stripes Fresh Paper Pack to the left side. Then, on a piece of Ranger Watercolor paper, I did a but of a background wash with Blueberry dye ink and a splatter with Black Licorice dye ink and popped it up on foam mounting tape. Next I added LLD Accent It – Feathers and Arrows Die-namics, cut from Sweet Tooth card stock and translucent vellum and popped them up on foam. The sentiment is from LLD Document It – Right On Target, was stamped on Black Licorice card stock with Versamark, heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, and also popped up on foam with a bunch of silver thread under it, then finished off with some silver glitter enamel dots.
