Enjoy Your Special Day - ColorDare #454

This is my DT card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #454 "Inspirational Board" combined with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #430.  All you need to do is select at least 3 Colors and you are free to use Black & White.  There were so many shades of blue and green to choose from and the other color shades were in the orange/yellow/rust group so I chose Sundance.  Inspirational Boards are difficult for me becase I see so many colors and not sure they are a good match; but here's my card for this challenge.  Hope it brings some smiles.  

All the pieces were cut from dies, arranged as in the sketch, some layered and then adhered with 3D thin foam tape for dimension. Sentiment and dragonfly were stamped with black ink on the scalloped round with distressed edge using Lagoon ink.  

Color My Heart Color Dare challenges are carried forward for two weeks so if you didn't share a project for this TicTacToe challenge you still have another week to enter.  

Both challenges are on the side bar of the Color My Heart Color Dare challenge blog. Please check out Design Team Cards and other entrants to give you inspiration and join us for future fun color challenges.

"Christmas in July" - Double Trouble Challenge #89

This is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #89 "Christmas in July" with Twisted Sister's optional twist to "Include Ribbon/Bow". We are partnering with Heart2Heart challenge "Christmas in July" for two weeks and would love you to share your project with them too.  

One of the girls at our weekly Zoom for Our Little Crop Group shared a couple fun fold cards that her daughter had made and liked the fold so much I asked for the The Creativity Cave tutorial (link below in products used).  

Went through my Christmas stash and found this beautiful design paper that I had purchased and never used.  With decision of design paper now it was a matter of following the tutorial... so I'm not going to bore you with all the detail because the measurements and fold instructions are excellent.   

Twisted Sister's Optional Twist:  Again, my comfort zone is not making bows; but I fussy-cut out some of the bells with bows from the design paper and adhered on front of card with thin foam tape for dimension.  

 

At Double Trouble Our Things 1, 2 and 3 sure bring on some wierd combinations but I like to challenge them all; however, you have the flexibility of doing just Thing 1 to create a Holiday card "Christmas in July" to be eligible for our random draw. 

For those that really like more of a challenge may want to include Twisted Sister's optional twist to "Tie It Up" and  include bow/ ribbon/ twine and also choose to enter our partner's challenge... and you will be rewarded addtional chances at our random draw.

Hello Friend - Color Dare #452 "Triple Play"

This is my Design Team card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #452 "Triple Play" using all three colors, along with the Black, White and Silver free and combined it with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #428.  

Totally had no idea what I was going to create... started by cutting some grass dies in the three colors and used the negative for each of the three colors to complete the panels. Each set was taped in the back, cut 1" wide, layered with black cardstock and adhered to a piece of 4"x5 1/4" white cardstock.  It was then that I decided to change the sketch to landscape because I preferred the flow of the design. 

My daughter had given me a couple stamps of fun birds... colored them with closest match... my yellow/red bird was the choice for the front of the card but I put the other fun bird (glacier) on the inside border. 

Both of the birds were layered with black and adhered to card. Used another die to cut the sentiment in Candy Apple and shadowed with black.  Small silver gems were added to the feathers of the bird and also to the background in the upper r-h corner of card.  

The finished 4"x5 1/4" was layered with black cardstock, adhered and then adhered to the A2 card base.

Baby - Double Trouble Challenge #88 - "Mood Board - Oh Baby"

Here is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #88 "Mood Board - Oh Baby" and Twisted Sister's optional Twist "Include a Die".  Our partner for this challenge "Bitten By the Bug 2 - Baby" usually requires the inclusion of a cut from a Cricut machine, however, we CUT a little Baby Die'al with them and we can use metal dies or punches.  The colors and blocks were my inspiration and thought it would work well with my baby border die which has been in my stash a long time and never used.    

Cut two baby borders and in between added cardstock of variable colors behind each of the stacked items and adhered them together.  Some fussy-cutting required for the background paper to peek through.  The grey sentiment was a piece in the Georgia Complements, cut using using a small hexagon die and layered with another larger hexagon with Georgia design paper. Fussy cut some of the circles another piece of the background paper and adhered with 3D thin foam tape for additional dimension.  Baby was cut using the design paper and Juniper cardstock for shadowing.   

At Double Trouble Our Things 1, 2 and 3 sure bring on some wierd combinations but I like to challenge them all; however, you have the flexibility of doing just Thing 1 to create a theme "Mood Board - Oh Baby"  to be eligible for our random draw. 

For those that really like more of a challenge may want to include Twisted Sister's optional twist "include a cricut cut, metal die or punch" and choose to enter our partner's challenge... and you will be rewarded addtional chances at our random draw.
