Color Throwdown 556-Healthy Wishes

Hello Color Throwdown fans! It's Lisa Henke and I have the pleasure of being your hostess this week for the new color challenge. I have picked a pretty combo of green, yellow, light blue, kraft.

I had a whole different version before I started but then changed gears when I decided I had to color up this awesome new release from Picket Fence Studios (scroll down to see the release post). It's called Leaf Picture Frame and I embossed in white and colored it up with my Polychormos colored pencils on some Sand card stock. I then used a circle die to cut out the center and created a simple shaker card. I muted the look with some vellum card stock. 

I added some strips of Spring moss card stock and stamped a greeting in Navy ink from Ways to Say Get Well. 

Check out the beautiful creations from the team this week! They are sure to inspire you, they always inspire me!! Have fun creating, we cannot wait to see what you come up with using these colors!

Reverse Confetti/ August Creative Blog Hop

it's the 8th! and that means great stuff on the web today with the Reverse Confetti Crew. It's our Creative Hop. This month we have a theme of  ABC! What's that, you ask? Well, it stands for anything but a card....so grab a cuppa your favorite beverage and join me to see what awesomeness the crew has for you. 

The Reverse Confetti Blog has all the info.

It's been an exciting few weeks for a few of my friends recently, as they each had beautiful baby girls born into their family's. I am waaaaay past the baby days, but my heart just bursts for joy when a precious gift from God enters this world. So needless to say, babies have been on my brain. So I picked up a pack of white little onesies and decided to customize them. It was easy to do with some Archival ink (TIP: give it extra time to dry. I was impatient and colored a little too soon. So wait. Just wait before you color with your Copics) Copics, and a handful of Reverse Confetti stamps. 

I pulled out a few darling images from my favorite new sets, Ice Cream Social, Party Animals, and Let's Shellabrate. I used sentiments from the same sets on two of the under shirts and then pulled in a sweet sentiment from Sentimental Sayings for the elephant one. I think it looks great in just black & white, but I decided to add some color. 

I placed a piece of scarp card stock between the shirt layers so the ink wouldn't bleed through. I used a light hand while coloring with my Copics. I used the same colors on all three Onesies so they would coordinate.

here is a closer look at each individual under shirt I stamped. 

Party Animals and Sentimental Sayings 

Let's Shellabrate

I used the bunny from Ice Cream social and sentiment from same set. 

I was also able to use my Misti to ink up the Onesie. Just in case I needed to double stamp to get a clear image. If you apply generous pressure to the stamp, you should be good though. I was . I then stamped a sentiment right below the image. I kept it simple. 

I decided to create a coordinating tag and colored up a elephant from the Party Animals set. I just love that sweet ellie. I added it to a Grid Stitched Tag. The detail on this tag, is just awesome! The sentiment is from the must-have sentiment set, Sentimental Sayings. I keep reaching for this time and time again and I adore the mix of fonts.  I tied it all up with some ribbon and twine.

Inspired By- Back to School

 Hello, it's Thursday and that means it's time for another beautiful

Inspired By Challenge. 

Below is is the inspiration photo,and as sad as I am that summer is coming to a close and school is starting being able to make fun cards helps ease the pain. 

Back to work for me next week and the boys go back to school the following week. 

I used a mix of Reverse Confetti products for today's card. I started with the ice cream truck from Ice Cream Social and turned it into a school bus! It was easy to do by simply masking off the banner and ice cream cone from the window and then colored it up with yellow copics markers. 

The background is another stenciled background using a cover panel. This time I lightly blended on Sand ink with the Bubbles Confetti cut. The clouds  and the sweet little bear from Honey Bear set. They were the perfect additions to my card. The sentiment is stamped in Midnight ink and it's from the fabulous set, So Many Sentiments. I finished off the card with a few strips of pattern paper. 

Thanks so much for hanging with me today. I have so much more to share. It's Creative Hop day with the Confetti Crew, so be sure to check back (or scroll down).

I needed a quick birthday card last weekend so I put the colors to use. I of course reached for my Reverse Confetti stash and pulled out an oldie but definitely a favorite of mine, Later Alligator. I colored him up with Copics and added a the fun mini cake to bring in the yellow and pink. I used the coordinating Later Alligator Confetti Cuts to cut out the pieces. 

 I pulled in the purple color with a stenciled background by using the Split Circles Cover Panel Confetti cut. I cut a scrap piece of card stock with it and taped it into place and used  my Life Changing Blending Brush and Wisteria ink to add the soft graphic background. I added the finished panel over some pattern paper from Under the Umbrella paper pack (all links are list below in my Link Deli list. Thanks for using my affiliate links-no charge to you!

Color Throwdown 554-Crabulous Day

This past Wednesday was time for another fabulous color combo for the Color Throwdown Challenge. My card is not so original, but I have been inspired by all my RC teammates and how they have been using the Bubbles Confetti Cut in the background and I just couldn't resist those adorable crabs. 

Welcome to Color Throwdown Challenge! Amy is this week's hostess, and I loved her somewhat neutral color combination with you including black, red, green and kraft.

I'm delighted that you're here and hope you'll have a chance to join us this week. We'd love to see your work in the gallery, so please link up below to your blog post, or use keyword CTD554 when posting in public galleries and hashtags #ctd #ctd554 on social media. Finally, please link your specific blog post when using the linky tool below. 

I started with some Sand card stock and the Bubbles Confetti Cut then used a Life Changing blending brush to darken up the edges. I also splattered on some white ink and some shimmer paint to add a little extra to the background. 

I pulled in the rest of the challenge colors with the adorable Let's Shellabrate stamp set. I used my copics to color the images and then the coordinating Let's ShellaBrate Confetti Cuts to cut out all the pieces. I decided to tuck in a few layers of torn vellum across the middle of the card and tied on a twine bow. The sentiment was stamped in Midnight ink. 

Check out the beautiful creations from the team this week! They are sure to inspire you, they always inspire me!! Have fun creating, we cannot wait to see what you come up with using these colors!
