Just Us Girls #732 - Mood Board Week

We're back with Mood Board Week at Just Us Girls and Carol M has this one to inspire our cards.

There's a closer look below or over on the blog post.

The minute I saw the picture in the lower right corner I remembered a stamp set from Concord and 9th called Blooms Fill-in.   When I pulled out the set there was already a panel stamped with just the color I wanted for the background although I'm not sure what it is.  There is a die with the stamp that cuts out extra flowers that I lightly washed with Kitsch Flamingo, using the same ink to stamp the centers.  The sentiment is from Altenew.

You can be inspired by the colors, images, the general feel of the photo or a card made by our Design Team and our guest Jane Taylor.  We hope to see you in the gallery.

Color Hues #52

Even though I have an order on its way, I'm going to try to use more of my older stamps. 😁  I did just that for the challenge at Color Hues.

The stamp is Blooms Fill-in from Concord and 9th, stamped in CP Aquatini and Tiara.   I die cut one image from the background stamp and layered it up three times.  The sentiment is from The Ton.

Krafty Chicks Challenge #505

There are 5 Thursdays in April so I got to make a fifth card as a guest designer for Krafty Chicks Challenge.  The fifth week is always Anything Goes and since I need more Easter cards that's what I made.

It's not a very Easter-y Easter card but I thought the Spring colors would work well for one.  I used the C9 Fill-in Bloom stamp and although it looks blue here, the background is actually HA Soft Lilac.  The rest of the colors are from Altenew, the sentiment from Jillian Vance and the die cut from The Greetery.

I want to thank Nance and the rest of the Design Team at Krafty Chicks for having me as their guest this month.  It's been a great experience and introduced me to a new challenge that I will be playing in whenever I can.  How about you?

Color Throwdown #535

If I don't have an image almost immediately of what I want to make, I usually don't enter a challenge.  I find if I force myself to come up with something, I'm not happy with it.  I knew right away what I wanted to do for the Color Throwdown.

I stamped the Concord and 9th Bloom Fill-in with CP Shea Butter then added the blossoms and leaves in Altenew ink.  The sentiment from PB is on an oval die from PTI.  It look me longer to decide on the sentiment than it did to make the rest of the card.

I'm off to my daughter's today to spend Spring break with her.  I'll have my Chromebook so I'll be able to comment but won't be doing any posting.  Anything you see crop up will be a post that was scheduled.

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you have a great week.

Time Out #105

Time Out is celebrating their fourth birthday so I made them a birthday card.  They are being sponsored by Concord and 9th and I thought it fitting to use one of their stamps.

Their theme includes sunshine and so I made my Fill-in Blooms panel in yellow.  I'm glad this calls for rather loose stamping and if it doesn't I did it anyway.  Sometimes I just can't line up certain stamps.  The sentiment from HA is heat embossed on vellum and I think it says it all.  Thank you for a great challenge Time Out and I wish you many more years to come.

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope your week is off to a great start.
