You Color My World

Hello again!

This simple little card will be entered into the Challenge at Simon Says Monday, Make A Rainbow.

Truly this is an easy card to make.

 

 

A little water colored background and simple stamping process.  Nothing fancy!  The stamp set is A Life She Loved  by Taylored Expressions, which happens to be an AWESOME stamp set! 

 

Check it out:

 

 

Fantastic, right???

 

 

 

 

Although I do like the idea of this card, I don't think I executed it very well.  I should have kept the colors lighter.....brighter.....the blues and greens on the right are too dark, it's hard to see the image.  Maybe I should have colored them all in in black.  Hmmm.....perhaps I will try again.

 

Thanks for peeking in!

 

Enjoy~~

Good Morning!

This card will be entered into the Challenges at Paper Smooches, Rainbow and ScrapyLand, Anything Goes!

 

 

Die cut leaves from Paper Smooches, Foliage 1 set.  I cut out water color paper and then proceeded to 'paint' with my ink pads and a water brush.  I love the rainbow effect of colors I got.  I then cut them out of Pure Luxury Black card stock and placed the colorful leaves back in.  They really POP against the dark card stock.  

 

MFT's Cross Stitch Rectangles die set, panel placed 'wonky' for some added interest.  Stamped and colored the sentiment from A Life She Loved, by Taylored Expressions.  

 

This card measures 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches.

 

Thanks for popping in.....here's to a colorful day!

Hello Again!

This card will be entered into the Challenge at the Mod Squad, hosted by my online BFF, Judy Woodland.  The Challenge is appropriately titled Magazine Madness. 

O. M. Gee!

My card initially started with flowers.  They were crumpled up and tossed.  Then I went with starfish and seashells......yup they also were crumpled up and tossed. 

Color....I just went with color! 

 

Using Papertrey Ink's Hexagon Cover Plate, I cut out a black frame and then all the different shades of colors in pink, yellow, orange, green, teal, blue and purple.  Then I glued the black frame and all of the little hexagon colors onto chipboard to give it a little more oomph!

 

The sentiment is from A life She Loved, stamp set by Taylored Expressions.  Stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, background lightly colored with a BG10 Copic Marker, Cool Shadow.  The word COLOR also uses Copic Markers and is topped off with a bit of Dazzling Details from Stampin' Up!  Their 'brand' of Stickles.  I poked 2 holes to add some plain white knotted ribbon and also left the inside a blank white, thought the contrast might stand out.

 

This was very challenging for me.....but I think I am happy with my result.

 

Thanks so much for coming by.

Beautiful Things

Good Morning!  Everyday we grab the shovel....that is all about that!!!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenge at Just Us Girls, To Make Your Sentiment The Focal Point.  Lots of beautiful inspiration from the Team and the entries look just as amazing! 

This was fun to try, looking through my stamp sets I came across this perfect one from Taylored Expressions, The Life She Loved set......LOVE it!!!

 

 

I used GKD Pure Luxury card stock in Ocean Mist, Black Onyx, and White.  Bermuda Bay and Tuxedo Black inks, black and white gingham ribbon and a few black enamel dots.  The die is from My Favorite Things, Vertical Frame.  The card measures 5.5 x 3.25 inches.

Good Afternoon!  I trust you all enjoyed the long Holiday weekend!  We had an extra guest, Arthur....thankfully he didn't bother us too much, just a nice long downpour, crazy winds and a few little branches down.  The Cape was super lucky!

Today's card is a mini, measures just 3" x 3".  I am entering it into the Mod Squad Blog Challenge, Marvelous Minis, to make a small card measuring 2.5" x 3.5" or a 3" square, which is what I have made.

I used a sweet little stamp set by Taylored Expressions, A Life She Loved.  Image colored with Copic Markers.  Added a bunch of adhesive rhinestones, a little ribbon tab and 2 corner punches.  Base card stock is Blue Raspberry by Gina K Designs. 

And that's all she wrote.....(another Nana-ism  ;)  )

Thanks for stopping by, appreciate it!

Love The Life You Create

Powerful words.....Love The Life You Create.....or.....Create The Life You Love.....I think I could stop my post here and just let you all talk amongst yourselves!  Ha!  But I won't.

I saw a card made by Dina Kowal with this fabulous stamp set from Taylored Expressions,  A Life She Loved.  When I saw it I KNEW I had to own it.  Ordered it on a Thursday and it was in my mailbox on Saturday.....AND by Saturday afternoon it had ink on it!  Life is good (knock on wood!)

So today's card is just one made for the sheer JOY of making a card with a fabulous stamp set!

Just one of those sets that makes your heart beat a little bit faster.  The Designer Paper is by Authentique, Gathering Collection.  Image colored with Copic Markers.  A little ribbon, 2 ribbon tabs, and adhesive rhinestones added as accents.  I LOVE this!!!  I hope you do too.

Here's a look at the complete set:
