Just Us Girls #695 - Color Week

Lisa E is our host this week at Just Us Girls and the colors she picked are Apricot and Aqua. 

I stamped and stenciled an image from Altenew's Delicate Garden in Altenew inks and layered it three times.  A white panel was cut with a Waffle Flower frame die, leaving the inside plain and using the Altenew Dotted Sunburst Debossing Cover Die on the outside.  Another frame was cut from aqua and inset into the panel.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

For inspiration, the Design Team has some wonderful cards in these colors.  If you make a card and are chosen the winner of the challenge, you made be a future guest designer.

Color Hues #69, Inkspirational # 295 and Double D/Altenew

I haven't made a card in a while.  With all the combined birthdays and bridal shower activities, family visitors and great weather for lake fun, I have been too busy.  Most of what you have seen lately was made long ago for my design teams.  After all this time it's hard to get back into cardmaking.  

I did jump in yesterday for a card for several challenges.  The color of Color Hues, the stenciling of Inkspirational and the Altenew collaboration with Double D all combined for this card. 

The flower is from Altenew's Delicate Garden, stenciled with their inks from the Golden Sunset and Sweet Dreams sets.  The sentiment from Dazzling Dahlias was stamped in Galactic Stream and die cut with an Altenew Label Die.  The image was layered three times before adding it to the Dotted Swirls debossed background.  These colors look so wonderful together I may do the same with other images in the set. 

I'm so glad you took the time to drop by today.

The Flower Challenge #72

Who doesn't like a little sparkle?  That's what The Flower Challenge would like to see on your cards this month.  

I'm not really an embellishment girl so I added sparkle with glitter paper.

I made my flowers from Altenew's Craft-a-flower Cistus which is a layering die. I added them to a panel that was cut with Altnew's Dotted Swirl Debossing Coverplate and popped up with cardboard.  Here's a close up of the sparkle.

Not a very good picture but you get the idea.  It really does shine more IRL.

Donna Mikasa is our guest designer and you won't want to miss her beautiful card and those of the rest of the Design Team.  Head on over to The Flower Challenge and check them out.  I'm sure you'll be inspired to make a sparkle card of your own.
