Splashes of Watercolor

Such a Blessing - Color Throwdown 615

~

Yay, it's Wednesday again and time for a new Color Throwdown challenge.  This week our colors are Orange, Black, and Kraft.

~

~

And here is the card I came up with using this great combo:

~

~

Not a Halloween card, which is what you would expect with the color combo, but it definitely works for Fall/Autumn.  I used the Blessed Blooms stamps and dies from The Greetery.  I also used Simon Says Stamp Floating Leaves stencil for the background, blended in ombre shades of orange using Taylored Expressions Blender Brushes and distress inks.

Come play along with us!

You Aren't Normal - Color Throwdown 614

~

Hey y'all!  It's Wednesday, Hump Day, the day we start a brand new Color Throwdown challenge!  This week our colors are Purple, Green, and Khaki!

~

~

Pretty cool inspiration photo, huh?  But I didn't go the cool watercolor route because I needed a card for a fun young man; so I went with a "punny" card using Toadstool Garden dies from The Greetery.  And a super cool sentiment from the You Aren't Normal set from Technique Tuesday.

 ~

~

The inside of the card says "You're really awesome (then again, so am I)!  LOL!!  Same sentiment set.

We hope you will play along with us this week!  Please check out the details at the CTD blog and visit with each of the DT members here:

Pumpkins and Pears

~

Happy Friday!  

Today I have a fun card for you featuring Pumpkins and Pears from Power Poppy.  It's an Autumn image, but I'm using bright summery colors.  Yes, I'm still trying to hold on to every last inch of the summer!

~

~

What do you think?  Too bright and cheery for an Autumn card?

If you head on over to the Power Poppy blog, you can see which of the other Bloom Brigade team members are sharing creations today!

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Autumn Birthday Wishes - Color Throwdown 613

~

Hello, all!  It's time for another Color Throwdown challenge and this week I am the hostess.  With the days getting a little cooler, I've resigned myself to the fact that summer is officially over.  So this week I've chosen some rich beautiful Autumn colors - Red, Orange, and Purple.

~

~

I had just received the new to me Sizzix thinlet dies called Cut Out Leaves.  They are so cool and I couldn't wait to use them.  Because the actual open areas were not very big I knew I wanted to use vibrant colors that would shine through!  So I pulled out my little-used alcohol inks and had a lot of fun playing around until I was happy with the color distribution.

Here's my card:

And here are the 2 top layers before they were put together:

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

Now it's your turn to play along with us!  All the challenge details can be found at the CTD blog.  And please visit with and leave some love for the talented design team members:
