The Paper Players #772

Ann has a beautiful array of colors for the challenge at The Paper Players and I was inspired by DT Claire's card.

 

This die set from Concord and 9th is called Spring Print.  I usually make a template to know where the 'puzzle' pieces go by embossing the panel with the die.  After doing that I thought the background needed something but once I embossed  with Altenew's Crystal Wall folder the template disappeared.  I think I did a pretty good job figuring out where they go based on a previous card front I saved just for that purpose.  I have had those Altenew Enamel Dots for ages and they were the perfect color to accent the blooms.  The foiled sentiment is from Spellbinders.

Color Hues #91

Red and green.  Those are the colors at Color Hues and while I gave a thought to not making a Christmas card, I couldn't help myself.

The Honey Bee poinsettia was cut from red cardstock and inked in the center with Aged Mahogany DI.  The panel was embossed with Altenew's Poinsettia Cluster before adding the flower and a foiled sentiment.

Freshly Made Sketches #641 and NBUS #63

I have a card for Freshly Made Sketches.  

The Brushstroke Flowers from TH are new, cut from colored cardstock with the layers colored with Altenew Inks.  They are on the Leafy embossing folder from Spellbinders which is also new.  The foiled sentiment strip was colored with Pink Diamond to match the flower. 

All this newness means my card will also join Darnell's NBUS challenge.

Freshly Made Sketches #634

Hey there!  I'm glad you dropped by.  

With a lot of my Design Team work done ahead and 24 corn hole bags completed, I finally had a chance to make a card for a challenge.  Freshly Made Sketches had a rather easy sketch and led me to a Christmas card.

The DSP is from BoBunny and the greenery from TH. The sentiment from Spellbinders is foiled in pewter I think.  It was in my sentiment box and made a while ago.  The size of the paper let me make another one so I have two to add to my Christmas stash.  Yay!

Color Hues #53

Fortunately I had a card already made that fit the challenge at Color Hues.  Not many know that I had rotator cuff surgery on November 7 and can't use  my left arm.  It's killing me that I can't do any card making, or much else for that matter, but I did get all my cards ready to mail ahead of time so there may be a few I can enter in challenges.   

The backgrouond stamp is from PinkFresh Studio colored with Zigs. The foiled sentiment is from Waffle Flower.

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you Christmas card making is going well.

Stencil Fun October and Inkspirational #175

Did you hear about the new challenge in town?  It's the Stencil Fun Challenge.  Since stencils are all the rage now this should be a successful challenge.  Their optional theme is Halloween but I didn't go that way.  Stencils are also the prompt at Inkspirational so here's what I did for both of them.

The Pretty Pink Posh ornament stencil was inked with CP All That Jazz, for a soft, non-traditional Christmas color.  The decorative layer is Gina K Glitter Glitz Gel and the sentiment from WaffleFlower is foiled in silver.  Last year I made a bunch of cards with this stencil in different colors but without the Glitz.  That's new to my arsenal of crafting products.  What a wonderful shine it gives the ornaments.
