DTC #190 - 3-2-1 Recipe "For Someone Special"

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #189 using the 3-2-1 Recipe "For Someone Special" (3-Layers, 2-Colors, 1-Background using Patterned Paper) and Twisted Sister's optional twist to include flowers. Our Sister Challenge, Try a Sketch on Tuesday #669, which starts on Apr 20th is the perfect sketch to include with our 3-2-1 recipe. However, my card will not be entered in TSOT challenge due to the backlinking rule but used as an example of combining the two challenges for interested participants.  

Since the recipe called for 1-background ingredient using patterned paper my first choice was a pink patterned paper which I randomly stamped on some pansy colored florals giving me the 2-Color ingredient. Another lighter piece of the same patterned paper was cut for the sentiment. It wasn't hard to meet the 3-layer ingredient by bordering the patterned background and sentiment using pansy cardstock. Adhered bordered background to the white card base.

Instead of the flower on the corner of the sentiment one of the dancing butterflies was cut two times using pansy cardstock. Tne first adhered to the front of the sentiment panel and the second placed loosely to the back of the panel to create a shadow of the other wing. Then the sentiment and second wing were adhered to the background. Had another dancing butterfly that was placed on the inside corner.

Color Dare #648 - For My Peeps, Happy Easter

This is my Design Team project for Color Dare #648 combined with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #625.  

 

 

Yellow was a must use, and being around Easter, it was the perfect color to make a chick peep.  And it was only appropriate for plus one color to use a pink bunny peep. Went through my scraps of paper for patterned papers in yellow and pink and cut frames using Waffle Flower's pretty Lacy Layers.  The sentiment was typed, printed and layered and adhered to the bottom of the frame.  CAS and a fast card.

TSOT Sketch #668 - Bundle of Joy, Welcome Baby

This is my Design Team project for Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT Sketch #668) and combining it with our Sister Challenge,  Double Trouble #189 using the 3-2-1 Recipe "Hippity, Hoppity". 

My son asked me if I could do a newborn card using a dinasaur and I thought this sketch would be perfect.  I did the same fun fold as I did for Double Trouble Challenge #189 so I already had my pattern for this fun fold. The same patterned paper was used on the different fold cuts.  

Stamped, colored, and adhered the adorable dinasaur for my main focal point with 3D thin foam tape. A couple sentiments were added bordered with a little baby. On the inside just added another dinasaur that I experimented with colors that I wasn't happy with, so added another color on the tummy to use as a daddy dinasaur... it worked.

The sketch reminded me of a fun fold card I've previously seen... so using a plain white sheet of paper and experimented with a couple cuts until I got the fold similar to the sketch. The plaid background cuts were a pretty close guess in regard to measurements; but I was happy with it.  Stamped, colored, and adhered the adorable chicks for my main focal point and added sentiments to the outside and inside of fold.

Color Dare #646 - Hello

This is my Design Team project for Color Dare #646. This was not an easy color graph for me because I don't have these colors so I did the best I could with matching colors as close as possible.

My plan was to keep my project clean and simple using stencils. In my stash there was a metal embossing/stencil which I paid 50 cents at a yard sale back years ago and never used.  I was curious about the embossing but decided to use as a stencil only... liked the simple design and ease of pulling in these colors.  A lot of time attempting to match these colors, but came close with some retired CTMH inks. brushed away on each of the images on stencil.     

Used a scalloped die to frame the pretty images that I had stenciled with 3D thin foam tape to  another scalloped frame using Ballerina (pink) cardstoch as it was the closest match of these three colors.  Finished off with a sentiment using Pewter (gray) ink.
