Color Hues #134 and Krafty Chicks #823

I finally got a card completed for the Color Hues challenge.  I was having a problem with ink smearing when using my Ohuhu markers so I ordered a different ink to see if that would make a difference.  It may have been the stamp because I still got a little smear so don't look too close.

The flowers are Pen Sketched from Altenew.  The stem in the center was my trial run but I needed it to fill out the arrangement so I cut off a mis-stamp at the top and finished the coloring. The background is Dotted Lattice from PFS over turquoise paper.  The sentiment is from BetterPress.

It's birthday week at Krafty Chicks so I'm sending my card to them too.

Freshly Made Sketches #739

Flowers would have worked well with Karren's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches but instead of going with the expected, I went in a totally different direction with this fun card.

The dies are Birthday Brew from Spellbinders Just Add Cake kit.  I decided to go non-alcoholic and make root beer.  The sentiment is from the kit and the background is from a Honey Bee paper pack.

Just Us Girls #826 - Die Week

Carol is the host for Die Week at Just Us Girls and she would like to see a butterfly die used on our cards.

I'd like to welcome Kellianne from In My Stamp Room as our guest designer this month.  She has some softly colored and beautifully designed  cards on her blog that you'll want to take a peek at.  

As for me, my card is fairly clean and simple.

I've had this Memory Box butterfly for quite a while.  One cuts the detail that's done in Graphic foil from C9 and the other the background that is colored with Mica Sprays in Snowflurries and Winterfrost. The same colors are on the border cut with HA Rounded Rectangles. C9's Swirls Die adds a little flight movement to the main panel.  The sentiment is from The Ton. 

Now it's your turn.  For inspiration, please check out what the Design Team and our guest Kellianne have made.  They're sure to give you ideas.

The Paper Players #788

Joanne made a fun Tic Tac Toe board for us over at The Paper Players.  I picked the right column down - die cut, stenciling and layers. 

The stenciling is on the Hello Beautiful flowers from Altenew then die cut and layered.  There are more layers with The Color Block Accent Arches from the Spellbinders Just Add Cake kit.  It happens that Waffle Flower Nested Domes are the same size as the arches so that was cut in black and the accent cut in white.  The sentiment is from The Ton.
