Just Us GIrls #678 - Color Week

It's Color Week at Just Us Girls and our host Nancy has chosen these lovely colors for us.

I went in an entirely different direction from my usual florals.  

I rarely use this set from MFT and thought it was time I got it out.  Plus I need the alcohol marker practice. I cut her with a scalloped oval from MFT and placed it on a stitched rectangle with the Concord and 9th Celebrations turnabout on it in the challenge colors. 

What do you think of when you see these colors?  I hope you'll show us with a card for our gallery.  We are welcoming Claire Apostoloff as our guest this month.  She and the rest of the Design Team have some wonderful inspiration for you.

Color Throwdown #617

After seeing some of the other entries for Color Throwdown, I hesitated on actually posting my card. I spent time getting the C9 turnabout to do what I wanted and then ruined it by cutting apart the sentiment.  No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to look straight.  I mean even my T ruler is crooked warped.  Well it is a handmade card after all so here goes.

Thanks for taking a look.  I thought I'd make more of these since the turnabouts make it easy and I do have two more backgrounds with the colors in different ways but they're headed for the recycle bin.  I'll try again later. I also did the sentiment on vellum which made them straighter but the sand embossing powder looked more like gold and the required color is kraft.  I'm glad I didn't struggle with all the cards I made yesterday.

Time Out #155

This is the quote that Time Out has for our inspiration.

It was the end of the quote that caught my attention.  I bought a kindness set from Hero Arts a while ago and wanted to use it.  I also recently got the polka dot turnabout from Concord and 9th and this is what happened.

I used primary colors of HA ink, cut the panel with MFT's wonky stitches and mounted it on GinaK Lemon Drop cs. I stamped and cut around the sentiment but in retrospect I think the font is thick enough I could have stamped right over the confetti and would have liked it better that way.  A few hearts in the ink colors reinforce the sentiment.

I'm glad you dropped by.  It warms my heart when you do,
