Just Us Girls #665 - Color Week

Lisa E is our host for this week's color challenge at Just Us Girls and she has chosen these:

It looks like a soft color palette in the gallery this week.  Won't you join us?

The Mondo Sakura from EbyE was stamped, heat embossed and painted with Altenew watercolors.  A panel was cut with Reverse Confetti lacy rectangles and backed with Desert Storm.  The sentiment was heat embossed on the same color.

The Flower Challenge #51 - reminder

I'm sure you're all busy but there is still time to make a card for this month's The Flower Challenge.   

I don't often use embellishments but I do have a few and chose sequins to add to my die cut card.

I used the NBUS Craft-a-Flower Poppy from Altenew, cutting it from paper that my daughter used for an art class project.  It has a rather chalky finish but there are so many fabulous colors and she's not using it anymore so it became mine to play with.  The rectangle from RC lets the cardstock of a similar color show through.  The sequins, sentiment ink and flower centers are all dark gray.

Helen is our guest designer this month and she and the rest of the Design Team have some fabulous cards to inspire you.  I hope you can take the time to make a card and join us.

AAA Card Challenge #136

Gasp!  I didn't do the Spring option at the one image AAA Card Challenge .  That's not like me but I found a tag I had made over a year ago and it inspired me to make this card.

The rose is an old Penny Black stamp that I colored with Polychromos.  I added some red behind the RC lacy rectangle and stamped the sentiment from CB for an anniversary card.

I'm trying a new way to take my photos and I think they are looking a little better.  HP Orbit popped up on my computer the other day and gave me a way to link photos I take with my iPhone to my computer wirelessly.  The upside of that is they are already on my phone to post to Instagram.  That means I may post there more regularly too.  I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. ;)
