CC437, FLLC, Hummingbird...

This card was made for the color challenge.  Karen really picked some awesome ones too.  They are the new in colors - strawberry slush, pistachio pudding, and baked brown sugar.  The "dessert" was to create your own designer paper.  I used the lovely Hummingbird set from Flourishes.  The top panel with the flowers was watercolored.  I used dimensionals and a new embellishment that goes with the new in colors.  I enjoyed this challenge and am happy with how my card turned out.  Thanks for looking!!  Please join us in the color challenges every Tuesday on SCS.  :>)

CTD251, CAS, SUO, Pansies...

This card was created for the color throw down - #251.  It is CAS and it used SU products only.  I used the new pansy blooms and the punch that goes with it.  The bg uses the itty bitty bg set.  The sentiment is one of the short and sweet ones with the punch that goes with that.  I used some ribbon and a brad.

CC435, New Beginnings...

This week Becky chose are colors for us.  They are cantaople crisp, baked brown sugar, wisteria wonder, and vanilla.  I used colored pencils to color my image.  I used an embossing folder and popped up that bg panel.  I used a corner punch, brad, and sentiment in my corner.  It was interesting for me to work with these new soft colors.

CTD250, 5 year anniversary, Flower Explosion...

We are celebrating the 5th anniversary of the Color Throw Down.  This is the 250th one.  The colors are melon mambo, so saffron, Bermuda Bay, and crumb cake.  I simply stamped my flowers in the colors and used the crumb cake as my main card base.  What an awesome challenge this has been.  Thank you to the ladies that are involved with this and keep it running.  You're awesome!!

CTD250, 5 year anniversary, watercolored flowers...

This card is for the celebration of the 5 year anniversary of the color throw down.  How exciting!!  I recently purchased this Penny Black stamp.  The colors for this challenge are so saffron, melon mambo, Bermuda bay, and crumb cake.  I watercolored the flowers and stems, and then used the crumb cake as my bg with the En Fracais stamp from SU.  I attached a seam binding bow.

MIX22, Red, White, and Blue...

What a fun challenge this was.  I used direct to paper ink and then blobbed some white acrylic on it and scraped it with a credit card.  I added some glittered spots and used a few stamps to make a collage of sorts.  Thanks for looking!!  Give this a try if you want to have some fun!!  :>)

CC433, Happy 4th...

Today was my turn to hostess the color challenge on SCS.  Since we are so close to the 4th of July, I decided it would be fun to use red, white, and blue.  I made the dessert to make a patriotic card.  My stars are designer paper, the stripes I created with a striped embossing folder.  I stamped my eagle and colored his eye and beak with colored pencils.  I then added a little ribbon threader with some red ribbon.  There you have it!  Hope you have a fun and safe 4th of July!!  :>)
