CC441, Bluebird thinking of you...

This card is for the 441 Color Challenge on SCS.  I have had the privilege of being a hostess on the design team for the last 4 months.  This is my last card - kind of sad.  Becky picked the colors night of navy, cajun craze, and soft sky.  The dessert option was to make a masculine card.  I used the Bluebird image from PSX.  I watercolored it.  I used the leaf embossing folder.  I found a twig in my back yard and then popped my bird up.  I enjoyed making this card and am pleased with how it turned out.  It's nice to have another masculine card in my stash.

Unity Color Challenge - Feel the Love...

 Unity Stamp Co. picked a beautiful color palette for their color challenge this week.  The colors are not labeled with names, but I took them as summer sun, more mustard, crumb cake, and sage shadow.  I used their stamp set called Feel the Love.  I first stamped on vanilla the image with various colors on it.  I then sponged my colors of choice, and then heat embossed the image and sentiment again.  I did a little dry embossing as well, and used an antique brad.  I just love these colors.  Thanks for looking!!  Don't be afraid to jump in on some color challenges this fall.

CC439 - Bright Sweetpeas...

I had the privilege of hostessing the color challenge on SCS this week.  I chose bright colors, as the summer is coming to a close.  They are melon mambo, daffodil delight, and old olive.  The dessert option was to use flowers either in an image, brad, die cut, or whatever else.  I used a Flourish image - Sweet peas and watercolored them.  I also used an embossing folder.  Thanks for looking!!  Come play with us!!  :>)

Color Throw Down 253, Bright Flowers...

 
This card is for another fun color throw down challenge. I used my flower shop set from SU.  I also used some fun washi tape I bought.  I added brads and popped up some of the flowers and layers with dimensionals.
