The Dare to Color Challenge over at Wee Memories challenged us to use a MINIMUM of four colors on a card. EEK! This did not fit in with my 2-3 color scheme stamping agenda...but I LOVE IT now!!! So, thanks ladies for an awesome challenge! Here is my main submission for this challenge:
I love this card for four reasons: 1. It's bright and summery, 2. It was really quick and easy to do, 3. It helped me utilize one of my favorite forgotten stamp sets, and 4. It uses one of my new favorite techniques--color blocking! :) What do you think? I love it--I'll be making more of this one!
My second card for the Wee Memories challenge, and was intended for the CASual Friday challenge, 4"x9" CAS style card, before it was too late, also utilizes the same forgotten set...I need to get into my cabinets more often! ;D
Here it is:
I LOVE the sentiment, it's actually one of my absolute favorite quotes. Here it is closer up so you can actually read it:
I am also linking up with a NEW challenge I found: PCJ Challenge #16: Photo Inspiration! all the colors inspired me! :) Here is the photo inspiration that was given:
And, finally, here is the third and last card for today. I am submitting this one for Wee Memories and also for Make My Monday: Things With Wings (Butterflies or Dragonflies). This card turned out amazingly better than I imagined! I used colors that I normally do not use and black and white. Here it is:
This is yet another forgotten favorite stamp set. I LOVE this sentiment! Here is a close up of it so you can read the whole thing:
Isn't that wonderful?! And here is a better picture of the butterfly popped up:
Oh, how I love this card! I stamped the butterfly images using the baby wipe ink pad technique and used red, yellow, green and blue reinkers to create the palette. It worked marvelously when I accented everything with red!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope I've inspired you to create something new today! Happy creating!
