Color Throwdown #235

Hey all! It's Color Throwdown time!  I'm your hostess this week and here are the colors I picked for us...


Here's my card using another new (to me) Whimsy stamp I recently bought...

 

The stamp is called Amy by Whimsy Stamps....love it!  It's stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics.  The sentiment is a Penny Black sentiment from one of my clear sets.

Timeless Tuesday #213

Hi everyone and happy Tuesday. Maki's Timeless Tuesday Challenge for us this week is to use sewing or stitching technique on our projects.  If you don't like to sew, faux stitches are also welcome.  :)

Here's my card using Flourishes' Inside and Out Hello...


The sentiment is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on Flourishes Classic Ivory CS. The die-cut oval is up on foam tape. Papers are Farmhouse Fair Skies, I embellished with some crochet cotton ivory lace (no longer in the Flourishes store...sorry!), twine, an ivory button, and adhesive pearls. Machine stitching was added to the embossed Swiss dots panel as well as the red DP panels. The cool layout is Deconstructed Sketch #94.

Be sure to stop by the Timeless Tuesday blog for all the details of the challenge and, of course, you can find even more inspiration by hopping around to see what the rest of the FTTC girls have created for you....

Color Throwdown #233

Hi everyone.  It's Color Throwdown time and Lori is our hostess this week.  I love her choice this week, as it has pink and orange (love those two colors together....so girly!). Check it out...


Here's my card...


I recently bought some new stamping toys and I couldn't wait to use them so I put them right to use with this week's CTD.  The "hi" die-cut letters are from Taylored Expressions, the cute cat is from Whimsy Stamps, and I finally bought the "seeing spots" embossing folder and Spellbinders lacey circles (both have been on my "I want it" list for so long).  The lacey circle is up on foam tape and the cat was colored with Copics.  The layout is Retro Sketches #54.

Timeless Tuesday #211

 

Hi there. :)  This week's Timeless Tuesday is being hosted by Deborah and her challenge is to feature GREEN on our projects.

Here's a birthday tag I made...


The sentiment is from Inside and Out Hello and it's stamped on classic ivory CS.  I just bought the Spellbinders lacey circles (they've been on my list forEVER) and the Farm House patterned paper.  The lacey circle and the die-cut sentiment are both up on foam tape.  I added some sponging around the sentiment with Memento bamboo leaves and the ribbon at the top of the tag is moss green seam binding.  The layout is Deconstructed Sketch #92.

Be sure to stop by the Timeless Tuesday blog for all the details of the challenge and, of course, you can find even more inspiration by hopping around to see what the rest of the FTTC girls have created for you....

Color Throwdown #232

Hi there. I'm back with a card for this week's Color Throwdown.  Here are Joan's fun colors...



I found this really cool layout by Stephane on Pinterest that I just had to CASE.  You can click HERE to see the original card, and here's mine...


I made two cards. The one in the front uses this week's CTD colors. The one in the back is the same except I used Island Indigo.  Stamps and dies are by Verve.  The two butterflies are each up on foam tape and so is the scalloped square.
