Krafty Chicks #825

I'm trying to get some Christmas cards done while the weather says stay in and craft.  Last week I made one for Krafty Chicks and thought I would make another one this week for their CAS challenge.

I love these darling Snowdrops from PTI and while they present them as a Christmas image they could be used for other occasions.  As you know I don't have any Christmas sentiments with me so that will come later.  I will also be making a few more that are not so CAS.

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.
