Hello Spring - Color Dare 285

My DT card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #285 using Bashful, Pebble and Raspberry was combined with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #256.  My background choice was one of the design papers from Paper Fundamentals "Adventure Raspberry" using Pebble cardstock for my layering.  

Looking through my Spring Dies there was a bicycle with a basket and die cut with Pebble textured Design Paper. Using another design sheet decided to fill the basket with some flowers and have a Easter bunny on the back of the bike sitting among some more flowers.  These were adhered using some 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  Using the Bashful Glitter paper to die cut the Easter Egg  Sentiment, placed on a layer of the same design paper as the flowers and adhered with 3D foam tape.  

Please stop by and view the DT's inspiration for these challenges ... and would love to see what bright and cheery projects you will create.  The Color Dare Challenge will be open for (2) weeks...AND you still have time to enter in our Color Dare #284 "Glacier, Pacifica and Silver Optional"  Click Here. 

On the inside of the card added a border on the bottom with design paper and then added a cluster of small flowers from the stamp set.

Hug - House-Mouse "Jelly Bean Thief"

This card was made for House-Mouse & Friend Monday Challenge #262 "Anything Goes" using Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge #445.  Picked up some Bo-Bunny design paper this past weekend and wanted to use for my first Easter Card and apparently House-Mouse found some jelly beans among the Easter eggs.  House-Mouse was colored with Copic sketch pens using a soft combination of grays and pastel jelly beans, layered with thin foam sheet, adhered on two oval stitched frames. In place of flowers in sketch chose to cut out some eggs from the design paper, layered with white cardstock, fussy-cut, adhered with 3D thin foam tape and used liquid glass on the nose and eggs for dimension.  One more cut of an egg from design sheet, layered, sentiment stamped on egg and adhered with 3D foam tape.   

On the inside of the card added a border with the two design papers from Bo-Bunny.

Welcome - Color Dare #284

This is my DT card  for Color Dare #284 using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #255.  First time using this floral background design paper from Paper Fundamentals and really liked the look of the soft Glacier background behind the two-tone bolder Pacifica color cardstock.  Thought about piecing the butterfly but decided to leave it open to show off the background.

Fine and Dandy - H2H Jan 2018 Wk#5

I was really puzzled on what I would do with this theme. Looking up "Fine and Dandy" on the internet...Dandy comes from Dandelion. Middle Age England dandelions were a symbol of prosperity, therefore fine and dandy means everything is great, good and prosperous. So my initial thought was a dandelion.

However, in our Copic Class on Saturday we did a real cute image of Duckies...and what's finer and dandier than a bunch of ducks wading in a pool of puddles.  Made my card CAS because I didn't want to take away from the image.  Pulled out my cricut and did a talk bubble and sentiment and adhered with 3D Thin Foam Tape.   

Team B - Hostess: Brandi. Please hop on by H2H to view the beautiful inspiration from our DT, and join us in this Challenge. As you will  see even we have different interpretations of what "Fine and Dandy" means so really it is about you and how you interpret the theme.  You have all month to create and submit.

Be My Valentine - Color Dare #276

This is my design card made for Color Dare #276 combined with the Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge #436 and Try Stampin' On Wednesday Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #1 (Die Cut, Heart and Paper Piecing).  Even though the color palette didn't have any pink or red in it I decided to do a Valentine Card with Green...a little out of the box but I'm happy with  it.  Die cut the heart with cardstock and a design paper and pieced together, the center heart is raised with thin foam sheet

Rose - Color Dare #275

Close to My Heart/Color Dare Challenge #275 ... Love the color of Bashful and it's easy to select a beautiful rose as my focal point using the Fern color for the leaves as my banners in the Tuesday Morning Sketch #435.  The rose was cut using the front and back of the Bashful for contrast and White Daisy cardstock for layering, attached to panel of Heather design paper with thin foam sheet and glitter applied to rose.  Leaves were cut with a design paper from Paper Fundamentals "Fern", layered with White Daisy cardstock, adhered under the rose and glitter applied.  For embellishment added three Gold Glitter Gems to finish it off.  Did not use a sentiment on the front so that it can be used as an all occasion card to be determined in the future for either a birthday, thank you or sympathy card.  

Please stop by and view the DT's inspiration for both of these challenges...and the Color Dare Challenge will be open for (2) weeks, and don't forget to also view the previous challenge which is open until next week.

Cute As A Button - AHSC #246

For this type of sketch I'll usually go to my design paper zip strips to see what would inspire me; but instead decided to go through some of my border dies and chose some button dies. I knew what my theme was "cute as a button" and all I needed was some pretty colorful paper and colors that would fit a girl or a boy.  Some of the buttons cut off of the border I used as additional embellishments in the bottom r-h corner.  

I didn't have a stamp for the sentiment so went to Design Space and found exactly what I needed, layered it and placed on the same paper as my background paper.  

I was pleased and thought my card turned out as "Cute as a Button"  

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Love to see you at this challenge...you have until Sunday, January 14th to enter your project.

The design team reveal for this sketch will be on Wednesday, so be sure to stop by to see the beautiful cards from the rest of the design team and other entrant inspirations for this challenge.

On the inside of the card I used one of the button borders cut in the same as my background design paper.
