Big Balloons - Color Throwdown #689

~

Happy Wednesday, y'all!

It's time for our latest Color Throwdown challenge and this week our colors are Orange, Pink, and Green.  Such a happy combo!

~

~

I wanted to go with a simple design this week and used my new-to-me MFT Big Balloon stencil and Essentials by Ellen Big Scripty Happy Birthday die for a very happy birthday card!

~

~

I die cut the stenciled top panel with my SSS Wonky Rectangle die, drew on the balloon strings, added a few sequins/jewels and called it done!

Now we're hoping you'll play along with us.  The details are on the CTD blog and beaucoup of inspiration can be found here:

The Little Things - Color Throwdown #685

~

It's time for another new Color Throwdown challenge, folks!  This week the colors are Orange, Green, and Tan.

~

Cool carrots!!  Of course, that's not the direction I took!  I wanted a simple and fun floral card so I pulled out my Ellen Hutson Organic Elements.

~

~

I love the whimsical style of the images and the shaker elements are super fun too!

Please come on over to the CTD blog and play along with us.  Here are links to some great inspiration from the design team members.

Live in the Sunshine

~

Hello, friends.  I know I don't usually post on days other than Wednesday, but I've made a few birthday cards lately and would like to share them with you.

Today's card is one for a dear friend who loves the beach/ocean/seashore as much as I do!  So a mermaid-esque card seems appropriate!

~

~

And I just love the colors so I know she will too!

I used the Scrapbook.com Scallop stencil and some of the Catherine Pooler Life of the Party mini ink set, along with my Taylored Expressions Blender brushes to create the mermaid look.  The sentiment is from the Technique Tuesday Bring on the Sun stamp set.

So that's my birthday card of the day!  I'll have another for you tomorrow and one on Saturday too!

Thanks for dropping by!
