Hello My Little Friend - Color Throwdown #657

~

Hello, everyone!!  Are you ready for another new Color Throwdown challenge?  This week we have some bright, fun colors to play with: Red, Turquoise, Green, and Gray.

~

~

I know this inspiration is all about back-to-school, but I needed a birthday card for a cute little lady, so I went with a cute little image!  This adorable gnome is from the Hang Loose Gnomie stamp set from The Cat's Pajamas.

~

~

The sentiment is from the Chilling with my Gnomie set also from TCP.  He is popped up over a Reverse Confetti quick card panel (which is no longer available).

So now don't you want to play along?  Check out the details for the challenge at the CTD blog, and please visit with our designers for some awesome inspiration.

Vodka - Color Throwdown #652

~

Time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge!  This week's colors are so fun - Turquoise, Blue, Green, and Kraft.

~

~

And what a beautiful seaside inspiration photo!

But...I needed a birthday card for my son-in-law, and this just happened to be the perfect card for him. 😋

~

~

I used 2 retired Papertrey Ink stamp sets - Friendship Jar Fillers and Friendship Jar Summer Fillers - along with the perfect sentiment from the stamp set with the same name, This Could Be Vodka, from The Cat's Pajamas.

I stamped everything but the jar in colors and did a tiny bit of Copic coloring for the liquid.  I used some washi tape to ground the scene. A simple and fun card!

Now it's your turn to play along.  Please join us this week!

Better Latte Than Never - Color Throwdown 609

~

Happy Wednesday, y'all!  It's time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge!  This week our generic colors are Blue, Purple, and Green.

~

~

And even though I have a THING for succulents, I didn't use them today.  I chose to use a cute image from The Cat's Pajamas stamp set called This Could Be Vodka.  It's such a great set and I thought it would work perfectly for a masculine birthday card.

~

~

I made the tablecloth by coloring the plaid with a Copic marker.  A really simple, fun card!

We would love to see what you create with these colors.  Please check out the challenge details at the CTD blog and be sure to leave some love for all the designers here:

Better Late Than Never - Color Throwdown #566

~

Happy Wednesday!  Who's ready for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge?  I know I am.  This week the generic colors are Orange, Gray, and Cream.

~

~

I needed a birthday card (belated) for a dear lady and tried to create a "punny" card so she wouldn't hold my tardiness against me!  Maybe!  I love using this The Cat's Pajamas This Could Be Vodka stamp set.  Too cute!

~

Well, again, Typepad is acting up so I need to cut this post short.

This Could Be Vodka - Color Throwdown #426

~

Happy Wednesday, people!  We had the most beautiful, warm weekend here in the South and it seems to be continuing throughout the week with highs in the 60s.  Yay!

It’s time for another wonderful color palette from the team at the Color Throwdown!  Lisa is our hostess and here are the colors she’s chosen from her inspiration photo: Grey, Red, Kraft.

~

~

I love these colors together!

I wanted to use my new This Could Be Vodka stamp set from The Cat’s Pajamas.  It’s awesome and perfect for a birthday card for my nephew!

~

~

I stamped the image directly onto my card base and colored it with my Copic markers, adding some white gel pen highlights.  I stamped the sentiment and added a strip of adhesive ribbon under it.

For the “tabletop” I used some washi tape.  I taped it across the bottom of the image and traced the image through it, then removed it and cut the shape of the cup out.  Then I just added it back and used the same black pen to line the tabletop.  I also added some sequins as a finishing touch.

This is a one-layer card that I’ll be entering into this challenge:

Less is More challenge: One layer - Favorite Drink/Beverage theme

We hope you’ll join us for this week’s Color Throwdown challenge.  You can get all the challenge details over at the CTD blog.  Basically just use our generic colors for a paper-crafted project and give us a direct link at the bottom of our blog post today.

Be sure to stop by and see all the great creations from the team:

High Flying Bunny - Color Throwdown #186

~

~

Yes.  I'm still making Easter cards!  I think I'm almost through though.  This is the last one for the grandkids, but I still need one to send to my Mom.

Danielle is our hostess this week at the Color Throwdown challenge and here are the beautiful colors she chose:

~

~

I pulled out another The Cat's Pajamas image.  This time it's Take Off.  I know it's not necessarily an Easter image, but hey, it's a bunny!!!  I'm also using the new retrosketches #5.

~

~

ETA: I'm also entering this card in the Twisted Tuesday 2TC1 challenge - The Clouds are Coming!  Check it out!

I had the best time coloring this adorable bunny in his high-flying plane!

~

~

I hope you'll decide to play along with us at the Color Throwdown this week!  Here's some beautiful inspiration from my CTD sisters:

That's it for today!  Please check back in with me on Friday for another gorgeous A Day For Daisies image reveal!

Flower Bunny - for 2 challenges

~

~

Good morning, everyone!

Here's another card with the Kick Some Grass image, this time using the MOJO235 sketch.

~

~

I'll also enter this week's Basic Grey challenge 65 to make a card for Easter using Basic Grey paper.  I used Out of Print.

~

~

I'm still trying to complete all the Easter cards for the grandkids!  And it seems I'm running short on time!

See you tomorrow for another Color Throwdown challenge!

 

Kick Some Grass! - Color Throwdown #185

~

Hey there, everyone!  It's my week to host the Color Throwdown challenge and I'm so excited for you to see this color combo!

I found my inspiration photo on Pinterest and loved how it took me right back to my childhood….the bicycle AND the wall paper!  LOL!!

Here's the photo and the colors I've chosen:

~

~

Great, huh?

I decided to also use this week's Fall to Layout FTL183.  It's just perfect!

~

~

I pulled out this darling bunny from the Kick Some Grass stamp set from The Cat's Pajamas, keeping in mind that Easter is fast approaching and I have quite a few children to make cards for!  I'm sure one of them will adore this little guy!  This also qualifies for the TCPTUES202 challenge to use a grassy product!

~

~

I'd like to take a moment to thank my dear friend, Bev, for agreeing to be this month's Guest Designer.  It's much appreciated, sweet lady!!

Now it's time to hop on over to check out all the gorgeous inspiration from the design team:

Thanks so much for stopping by!  If you can, please come back on Friday.  I'll have a project using a new A Day For Daisies image (so fun!), and that's also the day for the next E-Team blog hop!!  Woo hoo!  This month we're doing Faux!!
