Color Hues #315

Any color pops with black and the challenge at Color Hues is yellow with black.  I took advantage of Frantic Stamper's closing sale to get a few things including this Altenew Poppy.


It's stamped in Altenew Citrus Burst and Fresh Lemon.  There is no stamp to color the leaves and I like it that way on this card.  The plaid background is from an Altenew paper pack and the sentiment is from The Ton.

Freshly Made Sketches #741

Not having a lot of supplies is really stretching my creativity and such was the case for Narelle's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I must have gone through my stash three times trying out things and finally settled on this.


The flowers are from Penny Black's Love Blooms, stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Distress Inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed and Rustic Wilderness.  The frames are from their Frame It, watercolored with Scorched Timber.   The background is SU Timeworn Type and the sentiment is a BetterPress.

Just Us Girls #828 - Mood Board Week

Denise has chosen a colorful mood board for Just Us Girls this week.


I love flowers and have so many stamps and dies that it would be difficult to choose just one so I did a technique that includes several.


This is the Blackout technique on Altenew's Lush Garden embossing folder.  The flowers were colored on the debossed (indented) side of the panel and black ink swiped across to cover the background.  I did see black in the background on the mood board. ;)  The sentiment is a BetterPress from SB.

If you have flower stamps and/or dies, and who doesn't, I hope you'll enter our challenge this week.  The Design Team and our guest Kellianne have outdone themselves with beautiful inspiration.

The Paper Players #790

I was honored with a win at The Paper Players last week with this card and I'm here to play in this week's challenge.  Christy's colors were perfect for my Tropical Friends from Spellbinders.  We only needed to use three of the four colors but they all worked. 


He's on a panel cut with MFT's Wonky Stitched Rectangles and the sentiment is from BetterPress.
