Timeless Tuesday #218

Hi all!  Ally is our hostess for this week's Timeless Tuesday challenge and she has a really fun one for us; one where depending on your birthday month, you have a different set of elements to add to your card/project. Hop on over to the FTTC blog for all the specifics and I hope you can join us.

Here's my little 4.25" square note card using a sentiment from Old Fashioned Florals:


My birthday month is July so my challenge was to add banners and buttons or brads.  The banners are up on foam tape over the twine and I added some pale yellow heart brads.

Color Throwdown #239

Hi everyone.  Barbara is our hostess for this week's Color Throwdown and she picked some very soft, springy colors for us. Check it out...


Here's my card...

 

The sentiment, die-cut grass, and kite are from MFT stamps; the clouds are from Lil' Inker Designs.  The kite was stamped onto the peach patterned paper, then I stamped a second one onto Barely Banana, cut it out and popped it up on foam tape.  I added some pink twine bows and adhesive pearls to the kite string.  The clouds are also up on foam tape.

Color Throwdown #238

Hi everyone. It's Color Throwdown time and Wanda is our hostess this week. Check out this FUN, colorful shoe she picked as our inspiration...


Love it!  Here's my little 4" square note card...


The sentiment is from Verve's Starlight Starbright Remixed set, the star dies are by Spellbinders, and the "shooting star" trails were made using the rainbow and clouds die set from Lil' Inker Designs.  The yellow star is up on foam tape and the plaid paper is Farmhouse Fair Skies.

Timeless Tuesday #216

Hi all! Cindy is our hostess for this week's Timeless Tuesday Challenge and the challenge is to add a frame to our projects.


The main image is from the newly released Garden Gate stamp set.  It's stamped on classic white CS in Memento tuxedo black and colored in with Copics (Leaf Green, Cool Neutral, Water, Burnt Orange, and  Buttercup Collections as well as an E00).  The lacey Spellbinders frame is up on foam tape over the main image, and the stamped sentiment is also up on foam tape.  Papers are Farmhouse Fair Skies.

Color Throwdown #237

Hi all! It's Color Throwdown time and Tammy is our host this week. Here are the colors she picked...


...and here is my card...


Dies and stamps are by Lil' Inker Designs. I'm so excited to finally have the rainbows and clouds dies, and I think I'll get a ton of use out of the balloon dies....I'm always in need of birthday cards. In my opinion, pretty much EVERY stamp set on the market should include at least one happy birthday sentiment. Every. Single. One.  JMO though.  Some of the balloons and clouds are are on foam tape for dimension.

Timeless Tuesday #215

Hi everyone!  Broni is hosting our Timeless Tuesday challenge this week (FTTC #215) and her challenge is to include something on our projects that we would find anywhere in our "house."  Here's my card...


I used stamps from Tulips for Friends, colored the main image with Copics (Poppy Collection plus an R22, Leaf Green Collection, and C1/C3/C5 from the Cool Neutral Collection), die-cut both the sentiment and main image with lacey circles dies, added some Bangkok Red Poppy seam binding, adhesive pearls, and popped the sentiment up on foam tape. My household item is the red glittery OPI nail polish....works just like Stickles! If you click on the picture above, it'll enlarge and you'll be able to see the sparkle a little better.  The layout is Deconstructed Sketch #96.

Color Throwdown #236

Hi all. I'm back to share my Color Throwdown card for this week.  Lynn is our host this week and check out this cool pansy image she chose...

 

Here's my card...


I used Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry, Orchid Opulence (oops, I *thought* I used Orchid...now that I'm looking at my card along with the other girls at the CTD, I think I goofed and pulled the wrong color...sorry, girls), and I changed out Artichoke for Certainly Celery because I didn't have artichoke.  The stamp is by Magnolia and it's called Tilda with Eggs and Chicken.  I used Deconstructed Sketch #95 again for the layout.

COPICS:
Hair and Boots:  YR21, YR24, E33, E35, E37
Skin: E00, E11, E13
Dress and Purple Egg: BV000, BV02, BV04
Basket: R81, R83, R85
Chick and Yellow Eggs: Y00, Y03, Y08
Green Egg and Grass:  G21, G24, G40

Timeless Tuesday #214

Hi everyone!  It's my turn to host the Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC214)! The challenge this week is to layer two or more ribbons together.  Take a wide ribbon and layer a more narrow ribbon over top of it, layer two or more colors of twine together, etc.


For my card, I used stamps from my Strawberries set, which is one of my favorites!  I layered some sheer ribbon over some white crochet lace.  The image is stamped on Classic White CS and the scallop oval is up on foam tape. Papers are Pebbles Seen and Noted, and the layout is Deconstructed Sketch #95.  Oh, and I added some Stardust Stickles to the center of the flower and all around the image.  Copics used: BG000, BG10, BG11, G21, G24, G28, G40, R20, R22, R24
