Color Dare #668

This is my Design Team project for Color Dare #668 which you must use both colors as shown or closest to.  My first thought was to use these colors for a blended background with a silhouette, but then leaned toward an older technique I had not used in a while, "Triple Time Stamping".  

Cut three proportional rectangle panels, stacked securing with some adhesive and used the Misti to stamp floral images using these colors in, around and across the panels. Randomly stamped small wire mesh around florals using Heather ink. Separated panels and bordered each with candy apple cardstock. and adhered each panel to match up with the floral design.  Stamped a small sentiment in the lower right-corner. 

From same stamp set another floral was stamped on the inside bottom right-hand corner along with a the wire mesh.

You Are Appreciated - Double Trouble #163 partnering with Inspiration Station

This is my second Design Team project for Double Trouble "Let's Get Krafty #163" celebrating Earth Day. Our partner for this challenge, Inspiration Station's "Prompt 60" was a photo of the World, our Earth. We thought using biodegradable, recycled materials would be a Earth Day Celebration and Thing 1's requirement was to use Kraft paper or any product made from Kraft-type paper. Twisted Sister wanted us to include blue shades because 71% of Earth is water. My inspiration was the globe and using shades of color blue.  

Using the same Color Dare Board #594 "Six Pack" that I used yesterday; but this time I used all the colors in my focal point.  And again... the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #571.  

                         

Using these colors I created an appreciation Teacher's card using Kraft-type patterned paper for the background, cut 3/4 inch banners in a galaxy-like patterned paper and layered with Sapphire cardstock.    

For the focal point... Chose a woodgrain patterned paper, layered with Sapphire cardstock and adhered to the Kraft background.  Images were stamped on white cardstock with Memento black ink, cut with Brother's Scan'n'cut and colored using Copic Sketch pens to closely match the CTMH colors. The sentiment was stamped directly in the right-hand bottom corner of woograin panel and images adhered with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.

I Like You a Waffle Lot - Double Trouble #163 "Let's Get Krafty" with Inspiration Station

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble "Let's Get Krafty" celebrating Earth Day. Our partner for this challenge, Inspiration Station's "Prompt 60" was a photo of the World, our Earth. We thought using biodegradable, recycled materials would be a Earth Day Celebration and Thing 1's requirement was to use Kraft paper or any product made from Kraft-type paper. Twisted Sister wanted us to include blue shades because 71% of Earth is water which is my inspiration for Inspiration Station's Prompt 60.  

Using the same Color Dare Board #594 "Six Pack" that I used yesterday; but this time I chose the colors Periwinkle, Sapphire (shades of Blue) and Honey Butter, along with Toffee, a Kraft-type neutral paper.  And... the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #571 was perfect for my color selection.   

                         

Using these colors I created a masculine card using Kraft-type patterned paper for the background and cut 3/4 inch banners in shades of blue.  The waffles in Kraft patterned paper against the Honey Butter Background, sounds appropriate and yummy, doesn't it?  The sentiment and image were stamped directly on the Honey Butter panel.  Three more waffles were stamped on the Kraft patterned papers, fussy cut and adhered with 3D foam tape for dimension.  

For the inside of the card I had another cute pun stamp "Thanks for pudding up with Me" which seemed fitting with the Waffle pun. A Periwinkle patterned paper was adhered along the bottom border, stamped the pudding pun with Nutmeg Ink, masked and added the waffle a yummy combination.

DTC Challenge #153B "Recipe to a Happy Harvest" - Card 2 Happy Harvest

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble Challenge #153 "Recipe to a Happy Harvest" which includes at least 3 patterned papers, 2 embellishments and 1 Fall or Harvest Item. Twisted Sister's optional twist is to consider using Try Stampin' On Tuesday Sketch #632 and add a sentiment for another chance at the random drawing.  

When making another card for this challenge, I set it aside for a future date.  I had many additional pre-cut/layered patterns from the Gnome paperpack which I was able to put together for a second card. Chose three of the patterned papers but this time chose a Cornucopia image for my Recipe.  

Colored my image with Copic Sketch brushes using a variety of colors to match the colors in the paperpack, rectangle sized with part of the image fussy-cut and then layered with pumpkin cardstock.  Sentiment was stamped below the image on the larger panel and two green dots were added in the upper r-h corner to finish my "Recipe".  

On the inside of the card added some patterned paper to the the right-hand side border.  

 

I'm not laughing now because I got two cards out of my decision to use a striped turkey in my first card (see here).

DTC Challenge #147 "Oh My Gourd" Color Challenge with Inspiration Station

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #147 "Oh My Gourd" color challenging at least 3 colors (Yellow, Purple, Orange, Red or Green) and my choice of colors matched up with ColorMyHeart Color Dare #563 "TicTacToe" using Left Diagonal (Apple Red, Toffee, Green Apple + Sundance). We are partnering with Inspiration Station #53 and were inspired with the colors.  Twisted Sister's optional twist is to include a pumpkin on your project and Double Dare's dare to share with Inspiration Station #53 (include how photo inspired you) and earn additional chances at Double Trouble's random draw.    

 

Stamped with black ink on white cardstock (Bushel Basket, Apples, Pumpkin and Leaf), colored with Copic brush pens, fussy cut, adhered with 3D thin foam to the scalloped circle for dimension and added another scalloped circle using Candy Apple cardstock. 

Chose a Sundance color patterned paper for the background and three strips of patterned papers adhered to the background as shown in sketch.  Sentiment was stamped in black on white cardstock and bordered with red and adhered to background in lower left hand corner.  On the inside corner of the card base stamped a couple apples and some flourish in black ink.

When it Rains Look for Rainbows "Pop-Up Card"

While making a Design Team card for a future Double Trouble Challenge I had one more sentiment printed and cut on a scalloped hexagon.  So one more Rainbow card in the making... using the same paperpack CTMH "Story Book" however a striped patterned rainbow paper instead, layered on a black cardstock border and then to the card base. There was sticker in the packet of a pretty row of flowers in rainbow colors which was adhered with 3D foam tape to the Scallop Hexagon die cut and adhered some grass below the flowers.  

When it rains, it pours and the flowers appear, but now we have to Look for the Rainbow... so easy, open the card... there's your rainbow and sunshine.  Pop-ups were made using Paper Smooches rainbow die and Whimsy's Up In The Clouds dies.

Hoppy St. Patrick's Day -- Double Trouble #133

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble Challenge #133 "Pinch Proof" partnering with Inspiration Station's Challenge #47 focusing on the color Green.  Did you know that wearing green on Saint Patrick's Day is supposed to make you invisible to leprechauns? They will pinch you as soon as you come upon their radar if you don't wear green! And I didn't want to get pinched.  

Twisted Sister's optional twist was to use a plaid and/or checker and I used both. Didn't have so far to go for a plaid because it was sitting on my desk... a  green plaid paper that was already adhered to a card base which I never used. Then I went to my little plastic bin labled St. Patty's Day and found small pieces of Doodlebug patterned papers and cute images and sentiments. The checkered paper matched the plaid perfectly, along with cute images and sentiments.  Layered each with Evergreen cardstock and then adhered to the plaid card base using glue and 3D foam tape.  Needed something more in the bottom corner so added gold sequins and my card was done.  

I think my thought process on what I was going to do took longer than putting this card together.  I was Hoppy with it.

Merry Christmas - ColorMyHeart Color Dare #528 "Wild Card"

It wasn't very difficult for me to choose my Wild Card colors for ColorMyHeart Color Dare's Challenge #528... love the traditional colors in Christmas cards and still needed cards for mailing.  So, I started out with using all the papers from Christmas Story and cut 1/2" strips of each patterned paper (about three of each) and I was able to make 3 cards with the same papers, but different.  Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #586 was a fairly versatile sketch... instead of the rectangle panel it was replaced with the kitten stamped image.   

In my stash was Newton's Chrismas Kittens helping with the presents, or maybe not.  I took a couple patterns off the background and attempted to duplicate a couple of the strips for the gift wrapping (the dots and the stripes) using copic brush pens and the multi-liners "White" and "Gold". Newton's family were all colored with three shades of grey.  The sentiment was stamped on Mink cardstock and then layered a border of scarlet.

Greetings From Arizona - Cool Holidays

Here is my card for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #12 Snowman. One of my last Christmas cards for this year and this card is for a very special high school friend back East.  This was such a fun card to make and I know she will enjoy it.  

I started with the Whimsy melting Snowman stamped on white cardstock and used a multi-liner black pen to add some melted snow below the fan to place a cup of hot chocolate.  Colored the image, stamped the sentiment and then cut out the top portion of the image for later placement on the background.  Cut, stamped and colored the cup of chocolate, placed on the bottom corner on the added melting snow adhering with thin foam tape for dimension.  

Now I needed to build the scene.  Selected a blue pattern paper for the sky and bordered with candy apple cardstock and adhered to cardbase. Cut a layered sun, colored, stamped sentiment on center cut of sun and adhered direct to background paper.   Cactus was cut (only partial used), and adhered to background paper. I had colored the flowers that were a part of the cactus die cut but wasn't pleased with the look, so went through my stash to find some small flowers.  Flowers stamped with candy apple ink, fussy-cut and adhered to cactus with glue dots.  The image was added to the background with thin foam tape.
