Peace and Love

When I saw the challenge photo at Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge, I immediately thought of the Let the Good Times Roll set in my stash.  Barely used!  I brought out some colors and got busy.  

And where would this card be without some Liquid Glass?  Hard to see in the photo, but the windows and headlights needed some serious glass!

I would drive this,for sure! I hope it's not too retro looking.

What I Love . . . by a Graph for Color My Heart

Sharing a card inspired by this mood board at Color My Heart Color Dare . . .

And here is the card I created . . . it's a bit of a graph . . . of me . . . cuz it's all about me, my loves and likes.  And I used those paper strips from the CTMH pattern papers.  

Made this card for my husband.  The graph shows he is above puppies (just barely).  

Hope you find some time to create.

Two Birds and a Dog for CASE this Sketch and Color Dare Challenges

Happy Wednesday! Appropriate that as I created these cards last night.  As I was creating a card with a dog and a card with some birds, my dog was barking at doves in our backyard.  We have lots of different bird species that visit our feeder, but she has no tolerance for the doves.  She will tolerate the finches, the tufted titmouse, the chickadees, the cardinals, the sparrows . . . but she goes berserk the minute a dove shows. 

I have two creations today.   The first is for CASE this Sketch.  Here is the sketch . . .

And here is my card . . .

 I couldn't wait to create a card with this bird cage die, which was this month's club set at The Stamps of Life.  Adorable little dies . . . and that "tweet" sentiment! 

And then second was the Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge.  Here is the color palette . . .

And here is my card . . .

These were some new sets in my collection of CTMH stamps.  I used the five colors across that border stamp, and then matched up the colors with the balloons.   There is an actual break between those two white panels, which has a recessed band of Black Shimmer Trim.  Love some sparkle! 

Now, go get inky!

One Layer/Color Dare/Photo Inspiration

Three challenges were the inspiration for this card.

First and foremost, a one-layer card for Less is More.  I struggle with one-layer cards, so this was going to be quite a challenge!  I found out later that the real challenge for me is in reading the actual challenge.  It wasn't just a one layer challenge, it was a one layer challenge with "two of something."  This is what happens when you have four hours to create, you take your inspiration from challenges, and you dive into the fun part before actually reading the challenge.  (Well, the personal challenge of a one layer card was awesome for me, so it was a win-win situation). 

Second, a Color Dare from Color My Heart using Close To My Heart Goldrush, Honey, Crystal Blue and Pacifica. 

Third, photo inspiration from my go-to place for inspiration, StampNation.

Here is my card . . .

White cardstock, ink, a stamp set and some rhinestones!  My favorite element of this card is that white border at the bottom.  I masked off the bottom and used the bottom of one of the tree stamps to create the ground.

Fun stuff!
