Color Dare Challenge #600 - Sweet as Honey

This is my Design Team project for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #600 "TicTacToe" and my choice for the TicTacToe is the 3rd Column colors of Sapphire, Capri and  Honeybutter.  

Immediately went to my stash to pull out a retired CTMH stamp set "Honeycomb Flair" perfect for the Sketch Saturday #750 and Honey Butter. Honeycomb patterns were stamped using Linen, Honey and Canary inks... a great match to the Honey Butter Mix-in patterned paper used for the focal point. Sentiment was stamped on bottom left using Sapphire ink. The Honeycombs, focal point and background were all bordered using Sapphire cardstock and adhered to the background using some 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  

Left over Negative and bee cuts were used to decorate the inside corner of the card base.

TSOT Challenge #646 "Hootie Cutie"

This is my Design Team project for Try a Sketch On Tuesday #646 using the ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #599 "Triple Play" and you must use All Three Colors in your project.  

 

Once I found a good match of papers and colors it was easy to cut the shapes used in the sketch and bordered with Lagoon cardstock. In one of my favorite paperpacks there were some cute owl stickers in Wisteria and Lagoon which were perfect for my focal point. The owl was added with 3D thin foam tape for some dimension and from that same sticker sheet I added the butterfly and sentiment direct to background.   

Other stickers (large Hooray sentiment and flowers) were selected for the inside border and corner and adhered direct to inside card base.

DTC #166 - Tuesday Morning Sketches (May 6-19)

Here is my Design Team card for Double Trouble #166 "Stash or Trash" in celebration of Lost Sock Memorial Day on May 9th in collaboration with Tuesday Morning Sketches.   

My suggestion for this fun challenge is to spend a little time (as little as possible) searching for those missing socks as most likely you won't find them. So off I headed to my scrapping space (where I spend most of my life... lol) to conduct my brief search. 

While I was going through my stash I was surprised to see all the unused, unmatched snippets of patterned paper and/or images. I was so mesmerized by a 5x12 snippet left over from a Yuletide 12 Christmas Card Workshop I attended in 2014. So it was time to throw my socks in the trash.  

I pulled up my blog to refresh my memory and came across the photo below to see the cards we created and a close up of the cardinal image. There was so much similarity this snippet would be perfect, along with two other snippets, to use for Twisted Sister's optional twist to create using the Tuesday Morning Sketch #756.  

Cut two of the panels using the Cardinal and music note snippet and two other patterned papers from my stash behind them. Had another snippet of the red patterned paper and was able to use it for the background.  Bordering of the panels were cut using the retired Colonial White and adhering to a Colonial White card base.

The tree branch and sentiment were used for the ribbon part of the sketch adhering with 3D thin foam tape for a little dimension.  For the inside border of the card base the snippets from the snippets were used... leaving nothing to put back in my stash.
