Color Dare #602 - 12th Anniversary Celebration

This is my Design Team project for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #602 "Triple Play" for our 12th Anniversary Celebration. In homage we are doing an updated take on those original colors. While I was looking for a sketch to combine with our color challenge, the CTMH "Just Chicken In" was sitting in my space beckening me to use. When I selected the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #578 there was a floral on the same stamp set which was perfect for this sketch. Even though I wanted to use chicks; just couldn't see chicks in these color... so the chicks will sit there for another challenge and I'll use the floral.   

The floral was stamped using Memento black ink on Wisteria (one on dark side and the other on the light side) and another one stamped in Royal. The Royal floral was fussy-cut for the base of the floral. The light Wisteria was fussy-cut for the inner part of the daffodil and the dark Wisteria was fussy-cut for the outer part of the daffodil. The Wisteria pieces were added to Royal floral base with glue and some parts with thin 3-D foam tape for dimension. 

Periwinkle is one of my favorite colors. We had a Periwinkle car way back in the 90's because I wanted a purple car. My husband was hesitant; but we purchased it. There were times I would wander around a parking lot looking for my Periwinkle car but in daytime light it was more blue than purple and there weren't remotes at that time to lead you to your car. So... there were difficult times when looking for my car; but it wasn't difficult to choose the background papers in Periwinkle, border them with the Royal and place them as in the sketch on the card base.  

The focal point and sentiment frames were cut, one with patterned paper and the other in Royal cardstock, modified using a stitched rectangle frame.  

On the inside of the card base the right-hand border was a strip of Royal cardstock, zip strip and another strip of the same background patterned paper.  Please hop on over and join us at Color Dare's Color Board #602 for our 12th Annniversary, check out the Design Teams inspiration and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there.

Double Trouble Challenge #96 "Tall Card" partnering with Ellibelle's Crafty Challenge

I was gifted Miss Ink's "Slim's Whims" stamp set of my Grand-FurBaby (Slim) by his Mom and my daughter, Lisa Bzibziak (aka BZScrapper66.blogspot.com).  The coloring was so important to me... so I cheated and went to Lisa's blog for her first post introducing Slim and used her photos and choice of colors.  And here is my completed portrait  using "Slim's Whim".  

This was such a fun card created for our Double Trouble Challenge #96 "Tall Card and Thin Cuts" (aka dies).  Twisted Sister's optional twist was to use items that started with "T".  Double Dare says if you have met Thing 1's requirement don't forget to enter your card  at Ellibelle's Corner Crafty Challenge.  

My friend/neighbor, Melanie, had a layering stencil from Tim Holtz which is a Tangled and Twisted Scribble Stencil. So nice to have a friend and nextdoor neighbor to crop and share Things. On white cardstock I sponged with, of course, Turquoise. Using a Thin Die, a stitched frame, I cut the sponged background, adhered a layer of black cardstock and then adhered to the white card base.  

I wanted a lot of dimension to the card... started out with three stamped images of Slim, colored with Copic Sketch brush pens, fussy-cut separately the full body,  his head, his muzzle and layered with 3D thin foam tape between each layer.   

Stamped two cups with paws.  Personally colored in a Turquoise Tartan Plaid on the Tea Cup and fussy-cut the full stamped image. Only the paws were colored on the other stamp, fussy-cut and then layered with 3D Thin foam Tape between them.  Stamped a Tea Bag in Turquoise with a small sentiment, slit the cup a bit to add on the edge of the Tea Cup and adhered with 3D Thin foam Tape.  

The Tie stamped and colored same as the tea cup, fussy-cut and adhered with 3D Thin foam Tape.  The glasses were stamped, colored, fussy-cut and adhered with 3D Thin foam Tape.  The last dimension added was liquid glass on his nose and nails.  Layered a "Hugs" Thin die cut using White cardstock to hide among the Tangled and Twisted background and got the effect wanted. 

Twisted Sister's Optional Twist:  My "T" Mix-ins for this twist were Color Turquoise, Tea, Tea Cup and Tea Bag, Tie (Bow), Tangled and Twisted Background, Tartan Plaid on Cup and Tie and Thin Foam Tape.  Let's tee what "T's" you come up with. 

On the inside I used the same stencil on the corner and stamped another sentiment. The photo below was an attempt to see the dimension of Slim; but it didn't really do it justice like it does in person.  

My last venture was to show Slim my card to get his approval.  My daughter took several photos but he insisted on looking away except for this one.  Makes me wonder, was he happy with it?  Yes he was... he pulled back his ears and consoled me that he just wanted to show off his colors from all angles and let me know he loved the card.

Cheer - Color Dare #372

This is my DT Card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #372 "TicTacToe", using the theme at Heart2Heart Challenge "Evergreen".  Since I was using Evergreen my decision for the background paper was used because it had most of the colors in the Color Board which would give me a good start on a TicTacToe selection for both Row 1 and 2.  Aside from some time spend on the piecing of the Evergreen Trees this card was fairly quick to complete. 3D thin foam tape was used on the trees and deer for dimension.  

Please visit Color Dare and see DT members' inspiration, along with other participants that have entered these challenges join us in this fun color challenge. Color My Heart Color Dare challenges are carried forward for two weeks, so please join us and also check out our previous Challenge #371 Inspiration Board.
