Balloon Happy - Color Throwdown #600

~

Hello and happy Wednesday!

For this week's Color Throwdown challenge we have this great generic color combo:  Red, White, Green, and Black.

~

~

I would LOVE to try one of those popsicles, wouldn't you?

For today's card I needed a birthday card (we have a LOT of July birthdays in my family) and I wanted it to be bold and bright like these colors.  What better way to do that than to use big bold balloons!  So here is my card:

~

~

I love these one-liners Happy dies from PTI but have not used them in a long time.  Very bold and graphic! I used my Taylored Expressions Blender Brushes and Distress inks to give the Simon Says Stamp Balloon die cuts the bright colors.

Now we would love to see what you create with these colors!  Just link up at the CTD blog, but be sure to check out the wonderful designs from our team here:

Enjoy - Color Throwdown #599

~

Happy Wednesday, everybody!

It's time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge and this week our generic colors are Pink, Yellow, Blue, and Green.

~

~

I made a birthday card using only dies and watercoloring.  

~

~

I used the Altenew Fantasy Floral dies and a retired Papertrey Ink sentiment die, for a clean and simple card.

We'd love for you to play along with us!  Check out the challenge details at the CTD blog and visit with the other designers here:

Happy Father's Day with Power Poppy

~

Happy Friday, y'all!

Today I have a card I made for Father's Day using the Take a Deep Breath digital stamp set from Power Poppy.

~

~

This is the first time I've used this image, and now I'm wondering why I waited so long!  I love it!

I printed the image on X-Press It paper and colored it with my Copic markers.  The sentiment was a generic font I printed with the image.  I die cut it, and while it was still in the die I air brushed it with a Copic marker.  I added some Glossy Accents too, but they are really hard to see in the photo.

Keeping it simple since it's for a guy!

Be sure to check the Power Poppy blog to see which other designers have posted cards today!

With Sympathy - Color Throwdown #598

~

Happy Wednesday, y'all!  It's time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge!  This week our generic colors are Pink, Aqua, Gold, and White.  (And you can use any other neutrals that you wish.)

~

~

I used a lot of gray in my card this week, but that's because it's a sympathy card and also because I wanted my gold sentiment to show up better on the darker cardstock.  Isn't this image beautiful?  And it's so easy to color!
