All About Color

Sharing two more cards with you tonight, and both of them were for color challenges. 

First up was Color Throwdown's challenge.  The color inspiration is below with my supply list.  Here is my card . . .

 For this card I used one stamp and some splattering to create a background on watercolor paper.  It was a fun background to create using distress inks. 

For my second card, another color inspiration, only this one from Colour Q, which you will see with my supply list below.  

What was fun about this card is that it started with a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, and ended with a floral piece that just had hints of white.  This could not be darker!  I love how it turned out. 

This was a fun card to create, and I would definitely try it again.  It's a different look for sure, but I really love it.  

 Some really fun techniques.  I hope you found some time to create over this past weekend . . . and if not, schedule yourself for some creative time.

CASology and Freshly Made Sketch Inspired

A couple of cards to share with you today.  First up is a card for CASology whose cue card this week was "dream".  Here is my card . . .

This stamp set reminds me of the adult coloring books, and in fact, I think that was what Simon Says Stamp was going for when they released this one.  I stamped it both on my card base and on my pattern paper background.  

For my second card I used a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. 

It's a little busier than my usual card.  I used fun foam for that sentiment, and I love that the die matches that pattern paper. 

The brown circle is actually the card base showing through the circle window of the pattern papers on top.  

 I hope you were able to find some time to create today!

Pigments and Dye Inks and Embossing

A little something for Seize the Birthday challenge which was "anything goes" for this last two weeks.  Here is my card . . .

 I made a card similar to this one before, but with less pizazz, and it was long time ago.  I think there is something about this little bunny that just capture my heart.

I just love the texture of the balloons, which you can see in the picture below.  It's a result of dye inks mixed with pigment inks mixed with embossing powder.  Just love the textured look.  

My hope for those who are crafty is that they find some time in their day to create.
