Color Hues #140 and NBUS #90

I took advantage of a couple of sales and used several of the items for Color Hues and Darnell's NBUS.


The NBUS flowers are Penny Black's Refresh colored with Stormy Sky Distress Ink.  The same ink was used to edge my new Flower Puff embossing folder from SSS.  For the brown, I used Frayed Burlap on PB's Ascending.  The sentiment is from SB Just Add Cake.

Freshly Made Sketches #753

Karren had the perfect sketch for me to break out my Altenew Clematis for Freshly Made Sketches.

I should have brought my color swatches so I could tell you the actual colors I used for the die cuts and background.  The flower was cut from light pink, inked in the center with Saltwater Taffy DI.  The light green leaf was shaded with Altenew Parrot. The patterned paper is from Honey Bee's Vintage Love and applied to soft gray cardstock.

Just Us GIrls #840 - Word Week

 The Word of the Week at Just Us Girls as chosen by our host Ina is


This can mean just about anything but I decided to go with bold colors from a paper pack from A Colorful Life. 


I needed something simple to go with it so I cut the MFT Roses in Bloom die from black and then used Neat and Tangled Everyday Labels for the sentiment.  EZPZ.  Both the die and label stamp have been languishing in my stash for quite a while.  

What direction will the word 'bold' take you?  For inspiration, please check out the Design Team and our guest designer Julia Aston.

The Paper Players #802

The Paper Players has a candle challenge this week and I made a card


What do you think of this for a bright and happy birthday card? The dies are from SB's Just Add Cake kit cut from scraps.  The sentiments are from MFT.  I added some Nuvo drops to the flames and Pico Embellisher to the cherry for a bit of shine.  The background is embossed with the Tasteful Textile folder from SU and the frosting with SB Crackle Paint.
