Color Throwdown is a challenge blog I enjoy playing along with.
Today my card is for the Color Throwdown Challenge CTD741. I have created it in very muted colours using a watercolour technique on watercolour card, giving it a bit of vintage/shabby chic feel I think. I love the texture of the card.
Today I am entering my card into the AAA Birthday Challenge Blog and this month’s challenge is Game #49 Balloons.
I have used the brand new Stampin’ Up! set Beautiful Balloons for my card.
This is my first entry into this challenge blog, Retro Rubber Challenge and this week it is a Sketch challenge RRCB205.
The idea is to use a rubber stamp more than a year old. The one I have used here is the first Stampin’ Up! stamp set I bought back in 2008/2009 and is called Heartfelt Thanks, and is still a favourite of mine.
This week’s challenge with Just Add Ink #650 is Large Letters or Numbers.
I love this quote from Helen Keller, and I truly love this flower from the Art Gallery set from Stampin’ Up!
How lovely to have the opportunity to create a card for a special someone and with Mother’s Day just around the corner! That’s the challenge at TGIF Challenges this week with their Inspiration Challenge #TGIFC418. I created a floating circle and added a floral piece which I stamped and die cut to finish it off.
I did something today that I haven’t done for ages and realised how much I enjoy it, even though it’s messy and left my beautiful white table looking like it had the measles! I used to do watercolour wash on my cards and ink splattering a lot and will do more of it again. When I find an ink splatter shield 😂
My first entry to this challenge blog, Color Throwdown #739.
These are not my usual colours, but it was fun making it for this #colorthrowdown and I love how bright it is.
I have made this card for this week’s Global Design Project #GDP309 which is a Sketch Challenge, one of my favourites, and combined it with this week’s Just Add Ink Challenge which is a Colour Challenge #649.
Another entry into the Sketch Saturday Challenge, Sketch #724. This was a fun one to make, again using mostly scraps. They accumulate so quickly and I don’t like throwing them away.
I am again entering the TGIF Challenge, this week it’s a technique challenge, Partial Die Cutting. I have not had success with this technique in the past and was reticent about joining in, but I do love to learn new things and was determined. I am so happy with how it came together (after several failed attempts!) I used Shaded Summer set of stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up! and a piece of scrap designer series paper.
