Autumn colors card

 


One of the Top Picks


As soon as I saw the current challenge at Color Throwdown, I knew I just can't resist those colors! So so beautiful.

I used several distress inks and distress oxide inks - aged mahogany, spiced marmalade, dried marigold and festive berries, with leaves stencil (Creative Impression).

I cut the leaf steam (SSS) from a golden cardstock, and put some of the cut leaves back inside, adhering it to the colored panel.

I die cut a small tag for the sticker sentiment, and added a red twine, and adhered it to the panel.

I then matted the panel with an orange cardstock and adhered it to the maroon basis.


Challenges:

Color Throwdown #579:

Freshly Made Scktches #602:

AAA Cards #248 - add a tag:


I loved the colors and the autumn leaves on the street.

Butterfly birthday wishes, in merlot and navy

 


Today's card was inspired by 4 challenges - colors, sketch, theme and a tic tac toe game.

I really loved the colors from the current challenge at Color Hues, which are Merlot and Navy:


I followed the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, only instead of a small horizontal rectangle, I used s large sentiment:


I used Creative Expressions stencil with Hero Arts 'Raspebrry Jam' ink as the wide vertical panel, and matted it with a navy pp.

I adhered a 'Maja Design' pp in distressed dark blue on top.

For the butterfly I used My Favorite Things 'Brilliant Butterflies' stamps and dies set, with the Rasperry Jam ink and Hero Arts 'Navy' ink.

The sentiment is from Waffle Flower 'Happy Birthday Duo Sentiments' stamps and dies set, and I used the navy ink.

This color combo is very striking, don't you think?

AAA Birthday theme is Butterlies:


I also played with Tic Tac Toe challenge, and took the middle row - layers, CAS and stamping.

A floral crescent moon birthday card


I purchesed Sizzix die set on a sale, called Floral Moon Crescent Frame, and used it in this card.

I was inspired by the pastel colors from Global Design Porject challenge - lemon, green and pink:


I die cut the moon crescent from gold cs, the main flower in pink, the small flowers from a yeallow cs and the leaves from a green one.

The die set comes with a tiny dots die, and I used it to the flowers center and as decorative dots here and there.

The sentiment is from Waffle Flower 'Elegant Sentiments' set, and I stamped it with Ranger's archival ink 'vivid chartreuse'.


It also goes for the following challenges:
