Color Dare #88

It's been a while since I've been able to participate in a card challenge.  As I was working on cards for my April  card workshop, the idea for this card for the Color Dare challenge popped into mind.  It was inspired by Toni Hinchcliffe's entry in the CTMH April Stamp of the Month Blog Hop, Ballloon Talk.  The stamps were placed backwards on the blocks to achieve the color blocking.   The word "Hi!" and the flowers are from CTMH retired stamp sets.  Thanks, Toni, for the color blocking idea.  This was fun.

Friday Mash Up Challenge 

Well, here's another card that came together rather quickly using the sketch from Friday Mash Up.   I used paper from the new CTMH Lollydoodle paper pack.

The stamp set is from the CTMH Artiste collection and the sponged hearts are from the Art Philosphy cartridge.   I used the larger of the two hearts to sponge the background hearts on white cardstock.  The colors are Cotton Candy and Slate.  Cotton Candy polka dot washi tape was also used.

Here's the sketch I used.

Color My Heart - Color Dare Challenge #78 

Working with various card challenges over the past few weeks has really made card designing a lot more fun for me.  I am using my stash of supplies and lots of ideas I have been seeing on Pinterest.  For this color dare I was able to use some really "vintage" CTMH B&T paper from my first years of being a consultant (almost 10 years now). 

Hollyhock and Indian Corn Blue have always been some of my favorite colors, but I haven't used them too much lately.   So this was fun.    See the link for this challenge here http://colormyheartcolordare.blogspot.com/

Atlantic Hearts Challenge Sketch #39

I've been looking through my cards and realized that I could use more cards that might be appropriate for those who aren't the floral or fancy-fussy card type.  So I played with the colors suggested in this week's Color My Heart Color Dare#77 and the sketch for the Atlantic Hearts Challenge #39.  Several colors would not have been the choices I would have put together, but I do like they way they look here.  (CTMH colors: Smokey Plum, Cranberry,  Sunset, Honey,  Juniper)   I was too late to post to the Color Dare Challenge, but I enjoyed playing with the colors.
I will be offering this as a card to make at my February 11 card workshop.

Mojo Monday Fun

This week it was fun to play with my CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge (pp.31 and 65) and a Valentine theme to follow the MOJO Monday #329 sketch.  I love the shimmer of the black glitter paper and the texture of the hearts.

This is a card that will be available at my February 11 card workshop.
