Color Throw down #468

 
My grandmother was an awesome quilter and I wanted to try working with quilt patterns in some of my cards. I started with a die from Gina Marie Designs and the colors from this week's challenge at Color Throwdown. I found a beautiful paper with fall leaves from Paper Studio to add interest to my "quilt". The inside sentiment is by Stampin' Up and it reads, "Thinking of you at this time of year, and though we are miles apart, may the special love that's sent your way keep us close at heart." I think I will be sending this to my mother who lives a long distance away. TFL

Paper Players #370 & Inspired By #72

  I have always admired cards with a white on white color scheme and have been wanting to give it a try so this week I combined these two challenges to create this card. The first layer has craft foam behind it to give dimension. I embossed it with a snowflake folder by Darice. The next layer is also popped up with craft foam to add another slight shadow in the white on white colors. I diecut the word Joy and adhered it to the stitched mini scallop circle. Each snowflake has glitter added with the wink of stella pen and tiny pearl beads have been added throughout the snowflakes. It turned out very pretty and I was happy with the end result. Hope you'll join us in these fun challenges. It is definitely helpful in encouraging me to try new things. http://inspiredbyallthelittlethings.blogspot.com/ http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/

Mittens

For Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #236 Just in time to make the midnight deadline for this sketch challenge. This one was a little bit on the technical side for me to figure out the size and placement of the stripes. I placed white strips down and then added striped washi tape on top. Adding the mittens on a square and finishing them with black matte brads from Bazzill. The stamp is from Hot Off the Press.

Atlantic Hearts #238

  My supply of sympathy cards is quite depleted so I thought I would use this week's challenge sketch to create something simple and yet soothing using a yellow and white color scheme. This card began with an embossed layer by M'press with a round frame in the middle, I then added a stamped greeting by MSE and surrounded it with varied yellow flowers by Prima. I put Ranger liquid pearls in the center of each flower. I decided on an additional thin layer of black behind the white embossing to help ground the black lettering in the center. Hope you'll play along with us as the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  http://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.ca/
