Color Hues Challenge #69

NBUS #53

The Color Hues #69 colors immediately brought these Waffle Flower (Orchid dies & stencils) NBUS supplies to mind, so I pulled them out and got to work. I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Color Hues Happy Birthday

I love these colors and am so happy I had a little time to play in my craft room today. I smooshed 3 orange Distress Oxide inks on to a piece of watercolor paper, then sprayed it with Color Shine. When dry, I die cut it with Concord & 9th's Potpourri Die. I cut it a second time from SU Basic Gray and glued the two together slightly askew. I glued the die cuts to  Basic Gray card base and added a foiled, die cut sentiment from my snippet box. To finish I glued some bling from Gina K and my card was complete.

Joyous Wishes

 

I just got this beautiful Altenew Mistletoe Wreath stamp, die, and stencil sets and the matching embossing folder. I made this card using the colors for Just Add Ink Challenge #628

and lo and behold, I missed the deadline! Oh well...

I really love the way it turned out using 2 shades of pink, 2 shades of turquoise and a dark purple. I foiled a greeting from Spellbinders in rose gold, and I also used the Detail Ringlet Plate from SSS to give the background a little texture.

Trick Or Treat?

A new challenge starts today at Can You Handle The Pressure? where the theme is always Anything Goes with an Embossing Folder and an optional twist. Heat embossing is welcome, but not required. An Embossing Folder must be used. For this challenge, the twist is "orange/black". The challenge goes from October 8th - 19th.

My background is embossed with the SSS Cute Ghosts EF on black card stock. I die cut the rick rack with an unnamed die set from my stash, and added the stamped and die cut circle from a long ago retired set from Waltzingmouse Stamps called Midnight Feast.

Please head over to the Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge? blog to check out the Design Team inspiration projects. You are sure to be impressed (pun intended)! Then dive into your embossing folder collection and join us with or without the twist! Just be sure to use an embossing folder on your creation!

Time Out #219 begins today. This time it's a Photo Challenge.

The challenge runs from Thursday, July 28th  to Wednesday, August 10th. We are generously sponsored by Varada Sharma who sells digital stamps and cut files in her shop HERE. She is offering a prize of two $15.00 gift vouchers: one randomly drawn prize and one for the winner chosen by the Design Team.

My card was created with supplies from various companies.I started by blending a variety of Distress Oxide Inks to create the water and sky. I splattered the sea portion with water and dabbed it with a paper towel. I stamped one of the images from Chocolate Baroque's Seaside Dreams with Versa Claire Nocturne Ink on the bottom (in the water), and the sailboat and flock of birds from the Hero Arts June 2018 My Monthly Hero Kit on the horizon and in the sky. The scalloped frame is from Pretty Pink Posh's Stitched Scalloped Frames, and the sentiment is from Picket Fence Studio's Mermaids of the Sea, heat embossed with white EP.

You're In My Thoughts

 

Less Is More #465 starts today. We are challenged to create a CAS card with a a rainbow theme.

To create my card, I used the wreath from Pinkfresh Studio's Rainbow Floral Washi that was die cut with the matching die. This snippet was gifted to me by a dear friend along with the other washi images from the roll. Thank you, friendy! I simply popped up the wreath with SU Dimensionals and added a sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio's Forever In Our Hearts that was heat embossed with white EP on black card stock. Super simple, easy peasy.

Always Lifting You Up

 

I am so excited to be here as a new Design Team Member for Can You Handle The Pressure? where the theme is always Anything Goes with an Embossing Folder and an optional twist. Heat embossing is welcome, but not required. An Embossing Folder must be used. For this challenge, the twist is flowers. 

To create my card, I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder that I have had in my stash for ages called Grace's Frame. I love the simplicity and elegance of it, and thought it would be the perfect stage for these beautiful floral Washi die cuts made with Pinkfresh Studio's English Garden Washi Tape & Die Set. I arranged several of the die cuts and popped them up on the embossed panel. I popped up the embossed panel with fun foam, and adhered it to my card base. To complete my card, I stamped a sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio's Always Uplifting stamp set with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink and heat embossed with WOW clear embossing powder.
