Color Challenge May 24

happy Wednesday!!!! I tried several times to post yesterday but Blogger was freaky? Anyway....

A unique,soft, pretty color challenge is up at The Outlawz

Majestic Violet, Dynamo Pink & Pineapple Soda Mahvelous May: Add flowers!

Here is what I saw looking at this palette.



I used my Cricut and "Forever Young" cartridge to make the girl and the title. I'm so happy it's warming up and beginning to feel a little more like summer every day. I am truly a summer girl. Can't stand being cold! Flip flops are my favorite and I love girly summer dresses : )

Maybe if you are feelin' the heat you'll make a "cool" card too!

I'm thinking lemonade right about now :)

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Color Throwdown #139

I'm so excited about the colors at the throwdown this week!!!!

http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/

Here is what I made with them. 3-4 colors were required an I used all of 5 of them!


I finally ordered the Top Note die from SU (Thanks, Mo!) I made a card base using the die-don't cut all the way up on the folded cs. The cricut cart used is Graphically Speaking. I forgot how cool this one is with its "jumbled" word feature!
Hope ya like it!

Color Throwdown #137

It's time for another Color Throwdown !!!! I love these challenges sooo much. It's for fun and not a lot of pressure to make it happen when the inspiration colors are so awesome!

Here are the colors:



Here is the card set I made:

It's hard to make just one card when you have all these supplies in front of you : ) I get carried away but loooove it!

A mini card embossed with swiss dots. I punched out the heart and let yellow shine through!
Added a hanging heart to the bow/
Lil' Ducky riding the wave! Standard card size.
I made this yellow flower out of canvas. The frayed edges were easy just pull away strips until you get the achieved look you want. I sewed in a pearl to the crocheted flower center and tied with thin string to keep it delicate looking. Satin ribbon as a stem. The teal frame is embossed but you can barely see it-they are inverted instead of popping up!

A slim simple card with 3 random flowers. I love the little bee n the last one! It was a button and I cut the shank off to attach it.
This felt flower was easy peasy! I just attached it! It's Dear Lizzy by American Crafts. I used embroidery thread to make the stem and leaf.


I hope you play along too and submit your project so we can all see your craftiness :)

Have a great Sunday : )
Thanks for looking!
