CD 663 - Dandelion Silhouettes

Welcome to Colour Dare Challenge 663!

All three colours must be used - please see the graphic below for more information. 

I used three wide strips of cardstock to create the background - one of each required colour. I taped those pieces together and embossed the entire panel. I adhered that to black cardstock and then to a white card base. The dandelions were die cut and assembled on the front and the sentiment was placed over the stems. I added some black enamel dots around the card.

Pearly Sparkles August - Pull Tab Fish Card

 

Welcome to Pearly Sparkles and our August challenge!

The theme for this challenge is under the sea. 

I made a card like this several years ago but it was perfect for this challenge so I redid it with some differences. 

The rays on the background were stencilled and I inked the entire piece with various shades of blue ink and spattered it with water. The rays are barely visible, as if you were looking up to the surface from underwater. The seaweed and fish were stamped, coloured and die cut. I also stamped some other images onto the background. Once the scene was arranged, I placed the inked piece on a black mat and a white card base with foam tape. The orange fish is on a magnet, along with the pull tab. When the tab is pulled out, the orange fish slides along the water.

We can't wait to see what you create!

MTTCC 118 - 'Tis the Season Poinsettias

 Welcome to My Time to Craft Christmas Challenge 118!

The theme for this challenge is to use florals in traditional holiday colours. 

I chose a die set with a large poinsettia spray. The pieces were cut from red and green cardstock with a few small flowers cut in pink. The spray was assembled and I added clear Stickles to the berries and the centres of the flowers. 

I placed a piece of vellum that has a die cut pattern on it behind the first panel. The back of the card has the same frame die cut so the corners are open through to the back. The spray was adhered to a white front and I added a hot foiled sentiment across the bottom.
