Color Hues #117, Addicted to Stamps and More #500 and NBUS #78

I was playing with my NBUS Honey Bee Vintage Roses when I realized my card would work for the Color Hues Challenge - orange and green.  All I had to do was change the flower centers from yellow to dark brown.

The pieces were cut from white cardstock and colored with Altenew inks in Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades and Evergreen for the leaves and Pastel Sunrise, Canyon Clay and Burnt Red for the flowers.  The Burnt Red looks more orange IRL.  It's all on a panel of SB Fern which is also what the Altenew sentiment is stamped on. 

Congratulations to Addicted to Stamps and More on their 500th challenge.   What a milestone!  Ten years ago I was honored to be on their design team.  They are looking for Die Cuts/Stencils so this card qualifies. 

I'm also sending my card to Darnell's NBUS and to her IDEAS where ink is the word of the week. 

I'm so glad you dropped by.  I love your visits and your comments.

Freshly Made Sketches #693

I had a little time to make a card for Freshly Made Sketches before my company comes. 

The weeds are a mix of Honey Bee's Autumn Bouquet and Fall Foliage, all cut in white, colored with Altenew inks, and arranged on a panel embossed with HB's Burlap.  The Altenew sentiment is in a wood look frame from WF. 

Thanks for dropping by.  This sentiment is meant for all of you.

Addicted to CAS #285 and Krafty Chicks #773

I was lucky enough to win the Addicted to CAS Floral challenge with this card, and as it is my policy, I made a card for the subsequent challenge - water.  This one was more of a . . .challenge.  😅

Once I knew I could make a scene with Spellbinders Coastal View Escape I tried several versions before I came up with my final card.  The background was inked with Caribbean Sky and placed behind a panel cut with MFT's Wonky Peekaboo die.  The trees and island were cut from cardstock and shaded with Altenew inks.  The sentiment is from Altenew. 

I am also sending this to Krafty Chicks for their CAS week challenge.  

Thanks for dropping by.  I do hope your day is fabulous!

ETA: I just noticed that AAA Cards is having a CAS challenge.  I'm sending this without the twist.

Perfectly CAS #17

While commenting on cards, I saw that someone had posted a card to Perfectly CAS and since I often do CAS cards I figured I'd make a one for their current challenge.

The image from Altenew's Poppy Garden was stamped and gold heat embossed on watercolor paper.  I used Altenew watercolors to paint the flowers and added a gold heat embossed sentiment.

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope your day IS fabulous!
