Color Hues #133

Tracey has a lovely color combination over at Color Hues and it was fun to make a card using her bright colors.

Altenew's Japanese Anemone is easy to color with a stencil and their Enchanted Garden inks for the purple and greens from Spring Bouquet.  Organic Linen for the background embossing and a BetterPress sentiment finish it off.

Freshly Made Sketches #737

Jen B has a basic sketch at Freshly Made Sketches which should be easy except when you have limited supplies.  It makes me wish I'd brought other stamps but also makes me think creatively and that's a good thing to keep this old brain working.  

I started with the Double Frames from Penny Black, using the smaller one.  Next I got out the Spring Birds from Honey Bee.  I don't think I've made their version of a Robin before and I had to research because our Robins don't look like this.  It's actually a European Robin.  For more color, I inked the background with Tumbled Glass DI and added a branch from Honey Bee's Spring Greens.  The frame was originally cut in white but that looked washed out so I changed it to this light gold/tan color and popped it up.

The Paper Players #786

I checked The Paper Players before I left for the lake for the summer and threw in my C9 Garden Grown set at the last minute so I could make a card for Ann's CAS Food challenge.   

I think I bought the set because of its fun and punny sentiments.  Kraft cardstock was placed behind the cuts in the carrots and some Altenew ink was used for shading.  EZPZ  QACAS

Just Us Girls #824 - Mood Board Week

Carol Mc is the host at Just Us Girls this week and this is the Mood Board she has to inspire you.

You can take the shapes, colors, items, whatever draws you in to make your card.  I was inspired by the colors and the white framed geometric pictures on the wall. 

I started by stenciling PFS's Garden Trellis with CP inks in Tiki Torch, Party Dress, and Something Borrowed. Lisa Horton's gold was used for the center squares before adding the white die cut on top. I needed a simple sentiment and found this one in a set by SSS and CZ Designs called Good Greetings.

Need more inspiration?  Check out the Design Team and our guest Kerry to see how they used the mood board for their cards.

Freshly Made Sketches #736

I really need more masculine cards so I went in that direction for my card at Freshly Made Sketches.

I started with Tie-Dye paper from Honey Bee and cut it with Hero Arts hexagons.  The background and Dark Teal cardstock are cut with Starshine from Spellbinders.  The sentiment is from Better Press.
