Color Dare 618 Shades of Journey, Flamingo, Sage (09-13)

Here is my Design Team card for Color Dare "Shades of Journey, Flamingo and Sage" #618. Although I don't have any of these ink colors I was able to used some of the retired inks that were a very close match.  

Using white cardstock the match of the Flamingo and Sage ink colors were blended and then Journey color match was used for the Mini Cell Theory stencil which brought in the many shades of each of the colors. The blended background was cut to A2 size and butterfly stamped in Journey. Another butterfly and sentiment were stamped on the left-over blended background. 

Butterfly was fussy-cut and layered with thin foam tape to the A2 size panel for dimension. A Journey tag was cut for the sentiment and directly adhered to panel. Added Wink of Stella cleare glitter to the butterfly.  

While the card does not have a lot of white space there are limited layers and no embellishments and maybe my interpretation of Clean and Simple.

Hello Autumn - Try a Sketch On Tuesday #654

Here is my Design Team card for Try a Sketch On Tuesday #654. 

The embellishment shouted out to me a fall card... now that doesn't mean you have to do a fall card. The oval was perfect for tall birch trees and colorful leaves falling. The first stencil (tree trunks) was placed on white cardstock and brush blended using fall colors for the background and rather than splattering color I used an element stamp, to simulate leaves falling. Removed the tree trunk stencil and positioned the second stencil (bark) and blended with brown ink. When stenciling was completed die cut my scene using a crooked edged frame and bordered it with brown cardstock by fussy-cutting around the frame.

I changed the sketch to protrait because the Oval was too big for the landscape sketch. Found a orange patterned paper with leaves similar to a birch leave and bordered it with Mocha cardstock. 

Cut many pieces of foliage in different fall colors and a flower for the embellishment next to the oval.  Found the perfect colored patterned paper on my desk just by chance, for the small panel behind the oval and a Sentiment sticker in the paperpack and bordered each with Mocha cardstock. Almost forgot the embellishments in the corners so went back to my stash and found some orange Dots.
