Color Throwdown #816

It saddened me to hear that one of the masterminds behind Color Throwdown has passed away.  Barbara Anders was an inspiration to many and will be greatly missed.  Please take time to read the tributes that her friends and Design Team members posted on the blog.   

 

I created a CAS sympathy card in her memory using dies from Honey Bee and a sentiment from Paper Smooches.

Freshly Made Sketches #659

Earlier in the year I got a Spellbinder set with lots of small Christmas images and thought it would work well for  Freshly Made Sketches.

What do you think?  Some cardstock, DSP, ink and a sentiment from Penny Black is all it took.

The Paper Players #712

I went looking for a couple of challenges to play in yesterday and found The Paper Players.  The challenge closes soon so this is a quick post for a quick Clean and Simple card.

I started with blending Distress Inks on a panel of Bristol and cutting a Hero Arts tag from it.  The Santa silhouette is from Tim Holtz and the sentiment from Penny Black.  A little black and white twine finished it off.  

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a great day!

Just Us GIrls #750 - Stencil Week

I'm hosting Stencil Week at Just Us Girls.

Peony Print from PFS was hot foiled on Hammermill paper in gold.  The coordinating stencils were used to color them using Distress Inks.  After adding a gold border, the panel was added to a pink card base along with a gold foil sentiment also from PFS.  You can see some of the gold border at the top but the sentiment looks black.  Too bad foil is so hard to photograph but if you've used foil at all you can imagine what it looks like IRL. 

The Design Team and our guest Kerry have a variety of stenciled cards for you to be inspired by.  Please check them out and then make a card for our gallery.  We'd love to see you there.

Time Out #275 - Theme Challenge

Do you like to bake?  Here's your chance to show off your skills on paper with the challenge at Time Out. 

Our sponsor this fortnight is Lawn Fawn who will be awarding our winner a $25 store credit.  The Design Team has lots of inspiration for you over on the blog.  Here's mine.

The little girl is from MFT  and is colored with Altenew artist markers.  I cut the panel with a scalloped die also MFT and a larger one from some paper that matched the frosting.  I thought it needed something else so I embossed the background with Cross My Heart from Spellbinders.  

I hope we see your sweet treats in our gallery.
