Creative Colors Challenge #29

Hi bloggers and crafty friends!  Today, I would like to share with you a card I created for the Creative Colors Challenge.  I would also like to invite you to participate in the challenge as well, check it out here:
Creative Colors Challenge

For this challenge, here is the inspiration photo:

We had to use pastel pink, pastel yellow, and pastel blue plus use design patterns from the photo.
The sponsor for this challenge is DRS designs 

 I used their awesome digi image as the focal point of my card.  Here is what I made:

I loved this image of Rosie the Riveter, so decided to give her a shabby chic make over.  I love that she symbolizes female empowerment too!  For the background, I layered pastel pink, then pastel blue and white striped Teresa Collins paper, then a floral print card stock, then a die cut made from white and pastel yellow card stock and finally added a white paper doily that I stamped polka dots on before adding the image that I colored ( and adhered with foam tape for dimension).  For the embellishments, I added small pink crystals throughout, yellow organza and pastel blue and white gingham ribbon to Rosie's bandanna, glued pastel blue flower trim to the sides and added some small pink flower buds to the bottom with more ribbon.  I layered the stamped sentiment in various card stocks and used foam tape to give it dimension.

I hope you like my card, thanks for stopping by and looking!  Have a wonderful day and don't forget to play along in this challenge with us!

Creative Colors Challenge

We had to use pink+blue+white and add flowers and a sentiment.  Here is what I created:

The wonderful tea cup digi that I used was donated from our generous sponsor:
Robyns Fetish

I layered blue and pink paper and then clear acetate with a damask pattern from my personal stash to make the base of my card.  I colored the image with colored pencils and adhered it to the card with foam tape for dimension.  I hot glued some white beads in the centers of the roses and a pearl on the handle of the tea cup.  I then stamped my sentiment and added the word tea in blue and applied foam backed tape to that as well.  I then glued some pink tulle and white and pink flowers from Secret Garden.  Lastly, I used a piece of white lace behind my sentiment from Creating With Details.

Creative Colors Challenge #26

Hi bloggers and crafty friends!  I am coming to you today to share my latest card for the Creative Colors Card Challenge.  We would love for you to play along with us, here is where to find it:
Creative Colors Challenge

As this challenge is the last for the year, our palette consists of holiday colors.  We had to use vintage green, deep red, white, and add glitter.  Here is the inspiration photo for our color palette:

Our sponsor for this challenge is DRS Designs and I picked a very pretty digi of a berry wreath.

Here is my card:

I layered printed card stock from The Paper Studio, 2 of the same Sissix die, white paper doilies, and then  two of the images from DRS Designs.  One was adhered directly to the card and the second was put on top of it with foam tape for dimension.  I colored some of the berries deep red and then added red stickles from my personal stash on top of them.  I used glossy accents on some of the berries and used Barbara Trombley's Ultra Fine Glitter #26 Angel Dust on top of those.  I added 2 small pieces of white lace in the corners and added white resin snowflakes on top of them. I glued white braided trim around all four corners and sprayed that with Tattered Angels Caper Green Glimmer Mist.  I made the bow with hunter green gross grain ribbon, a piece of lace that I sprayed with Tattered Angels Chalkboard Medallion, some ivory seam binding that was also sprayed, and a twig with white berries. I added 2 red buttons and three pieces of snowflake rhinestone and pearl bling to the underside of the bow.  The flowers are from the Secret Garden and were white, I painted them with Radiant Pearls Crimson Nights, added glitter when they were wet.  When dry, I sprayed them with Tattered Angels Barn Red Glimmer Mist.

I hope you enjoy my creation, please feel free to leave me a comment.  I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season!  Thank you all for the support you have shown me, and I look forward to sharing more with you from the Creative Colors Challenge in January!

Your CCC Designer,

Creative Colors Challenge #25

Hi bloggers and crafty friends!  I am sharing with you today another creation that I designed for the Creative Colors Challenge.  For this challenge, this was our inspiration photo:

We had to use holiday green, holiday red, golden, and use embossing.  If you want to play along with this challenge, you can find it at: http://creativecolorschallenge.blogspot.com/   Please join us!

The sponsor for this challenge is: http://robynsfetish.com/shop/  I love her digis!

Here is what I came up with:

Here is a close up of what I did with the digi of the presents:

I started by layering green and gold polka dot paper, then gold shiny paper, and then the printed gift paper.

I stamped the words Merry Christmas and embossed with red glitter embossing powder.  I used foam tape to give it dimension when I secured it to the gold paper.  I then used vintage red ribbon under that.  I added the red bow with gold beads, white marabou feather trim, and a big red flower to the top of the card.  On the bottom, I colored the digis with markers using colors to match the printed paper.  I added pearl trim, pink bling,brown  ribbon, a red wheat spray and tiny red flowers as embellishments. 

Most of the items I used were from my personal stash, but the following are from:

Small Red Flowers- Secret Garden

Big Red Flower- La liberi

Printed Paper- Kringle and Co.  Gift Wrapping Room by American Crafts

Red Wheat Spray and Marabou Feathers- Creating With Details

 I had a great time making this one and hope you like it!  Please leave me a comment and play along in this challenge.  

Creative Color Challenge #24

Hi bloggers and crafty friends!  I have another card I created for the Creative Color Challenge to share with you today.  These color challenges are great in that they open me up to working with colors that I wouldn't ordinarily choose and I end up overcoming my apprehension in creating outside of my comfort zone.  I know it is a busy time with the holidays quickly approaching, but I would love if you played along with me, you can check the challenge out here:  Creative Colors Challenge

Here is the inspiration photo for this challenge:

We had to use 4 color sachets plus use a small envelope.

Here is my card:

I used this gorgeous digi image of roses provided by the sponsor of this challenge, 

AuroraWings

I started with layers of peach, metallic green, and green and white print card stock.

I used a peach trim of small circles around all four corners of the card.

I added the image of the roses (which was colored using colored pencils) with double foam tape for dimension.

then I added two layers of lave trim to the bottom of the card, the first layer I hit with a spray from Lindy's.  I attached a white lace applique, peach lace collar (that I cut in half) and then the white roses and peach flowers from

The Secret Garden.  I added some pearl bling, peach ribbon, white lace and a vellum mini envelope (ink distressed) behind the image.

I hope you all like what I came up with for this challenge!  Please leave me a comment and thanks so much for stopping by!

Creative Colors Challenge #23

Hi bloggers and crafty friends!  Today I am sharing with you another card I made as part of the design team for the Creative Colors Challenge.  Our palette this time was yellow, brown, and green, and we had to use at least two layers.  Here is the inspiration photo:

This is the card I created:

I layered an ink distressed doily, green and brown card stock, green and brown mulberry paper, yellow polka dotted card stock and burlap for the foundation of the card.  A light brown spray was applied to the entire card.  Then, I painted the image with pearlized paints and added Twinkle Dust to the green fairy wings, which I attached with foam tape for dimension.  Mulberry paper yellow roses and green leaves were attched and added yellow and green seam binding that had been sprayed with a light brown in addition to brown chiffon ribbon and a brown metal acorn bell.  The green leaves also have some Twinkle Dust on them for a whimsical feel.  The fairy also has a tiny peal in the middle of her collar. Hope you like it!
