Just Us Girls #725 - Color Week

I'm the host of Color Week at Just Us Girls.  Here are the colors for you to use on your card.

I must have seen something in those colors that inspired me to choose them but when it came time to make a card I couldn't remember what it was.  No problem.  I had other ideas.

All dies are cut from white paper and colored with a variety of inks  The Coneflowers are Simon Hurley and the rest including the crate are from Honey Bee.  The background is a brick folder from Alltenew. 

The Design Team and our guest have lovely cards to show you using the challenge colors.  I hope they inspire you to make a card for the gallery.

Color Hues #39

The new challenge at Color Hues is Purple and Green and those are perfect colors for a floral card.

The Lavender from Altenew were stamped in their inks - one on the card front, one die cut glued as is and one with extra layers  The matching purple cardstock was cut with an old scallop die from a company no longer in business.  The sentiment from The Ton is layered.  This card will go to my granddaughter who just bought her first house.

 Thanks for dropping by.  I hope your week is going well.

The Card Concept #153

When I have just what I need to make a card, I'm impelled to make one.  Such is the case at The Card Concept. 

Lavender from PTI in a container from Penny Black with a little sentiment tag from My Craft Spot (oob) and my clean and layered card is done.

The stamps were colored with PolyChromos pencils. 

Thanks for dropping by.  I love it when you do.

Inspired By #117

I love the title of Inspired By's challenge.

Yellow does make me happy.   It's such a sunny color.  So I was inspired to make a card.

I know lavender is in it's name but I had to take artistic license and make one yellow, to look similar to the flowers? in the photo.  Some ancient patterned paper frames it.

Thanks for dropping by. 

AAA Card Challenge #135

The AAA Card Challenge was a little different this time.  Sort of like a tic tac toe but with a pie chart instead.   There is also a 'friend' option and (gasp) I didn't use it.

Now that I'm posting this I see I may not have followed one of the pie pieces correctly.  See if you can figure out what I did.

Yes, it says ONE matted layer and I have two. :(  Good thing I also stamped and die cut so with the colored pencils I have three pieces of the pie.  The lavender, tag and sentiment are from PTI.  I need more sympathy cards so went with that instead of using the friend option.

I'm so glad you dropped by.  Please leave a comment as I love reading them.
