Time Out #240

The theme for the challenge at Time Out is 

The only sportive thing I had was a set from Sunny Studio.  

My husband has a great grandson who plays baseball so I thought this would be a good card for him.  After stamping and coloring the bats and balls I needed someway to display them.  Out came my Altenew Diamond Frame.  I mean baseball is played on a diamond. *wink*  The sentiment is from the same set.

What do you think of when you hear "sportive"?  There are definitions on the banner to help you.  Plus you can get inspiration from the design team and our guest designer Carol McFarland.

Color Hues #65, Beautiful Blooms #5 and NBUS #51

I looked over my floral stamps trying to decide what to do for the Color Hues challenge, not finding anything I was happy with.  Then a new order came and I saw the possibilites.  

The flowers and vase are from Simon Hurley/Spellbinders called Floral Stems and Ceramic Vases respectively.  I cut the mum from two shades of red and one of the six vases from aqua.  The background is Crystal Wall from Altenew and the sentiment is from Hero Arts. 

I'm also sending my card to Beautiful Blooms (see their beautiful moodboard below) and NBUS where we can all post our Never Before Used Stuff .

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you week is going well.

Less Is More #484

It's cooler today so I stayed in and made a quick card for Less Is More.  Even though I'm not fond of making one layer cards, the theme is flowers and I do love making flower cards.

I used Sunny Flowers stamp and stencil from Altenew, coloring it with Altenew Inks.   The sentiment is from Penny Black.

Color Throwdown #745 and NBUS #51

I'm happy that my play time with new dies the other day fit the colors at Color Throwdown.

I have been wanting a lemon/lime die set and settled on the one from Lawn Fawn.  I cut them all from Bristol cardstock and colored them with Altenew inks. The plaid background is an embossing folder from Spellbinder. I didn't bring any fun/punny sentiments with me but I do need an anniversary card and thought I'd write the punny part inside.  I white heat embossed the sentiment from Hero Arts and colored it with the same ink as the leaves. 

I'm also sending my card to NBUS since the die is new.

The Flower Challenge #81

I know you have a favorite flower and so there's no reason not to join us this month for The Flower Challenge. 

Most of my friends know that the Daisy is my favorite.  Here is the card for today.  Another one will be posted as a reminder on the 15th.

The daisies are from TH Wildflowers and colored with Zigs.  They are in the  Greetery's Market Basket that has been heat embossed with Etched Platinum and lined with vellum.    The little sentiment is also The Greetery and the background embossing is Time Worn from SU. 

The Design Team and our guest Christine L. have their favorite flowers to inspire you.  Won't you take a look and then join in the challenge?
