Just be YOU, with scribbled flowers

 

This card was inspired by the colors given at The Color Throwdown #747, which are aqua, yellow and red:

A year ago, CTD had a very simmilar color combo, and I was their featured stamper. Then I made two cards, and you can see them HERE and HERE.

This time I didn't want to make a 'Disney' themed card, and oftef for a floral one.

I used scraps for this one (my goal to reduce the ammount of scraps running around here!). I die cut several scribbled flowers in white, adhered them to scraps of cardstock in the challenge's colors, and aranged them on the white backgroun, adding some outlined leaves in blsck.

I run the background cs through my Big Shot with a dotted leaves plate, and before adhereing the flowers and the leaves, I stamped the sentiment.

The small black dots are also from scraps of cs.

It also goes for the SimonSays Wednesday challenge, which is 'Lots of Layers'.

Three flowers bouquet birthday card

 

Today I'm sharing with you a birthday card I made in lovely colors, one of my fav color combos - green, pink and gray.

The three flowers bouquet was made with stamps (first layer) and two die cuts, that I colored with inks in green and pink (the 2nd and 3rd layers). The sentiment was stamped with gray ink

The white panel with the bouquet was double matted with olive green cardstock and gray cardstock, and then adhered to the white basis.

I also added some gray enamel dots for more interest.

An orange butterfly for a birthday card

 

A Cut Above at The Paper Players

One of the Top Few Runner Up

at Color Hues

Do you know the feeling when something is very challenging for you, and once you struggle with it, you start to like it?

Well, that's what happened to me with the challenge at Color Hues... LOL.

The combination of orange and slate grey was very challenging for me at first, but after I made my card for the challenge (you can see it HERE), I began to like this color combo so much, so I made another card!

I stamped the butterfly's wings (My Favorite Things 'Brilliant Butterflies' stamp set) in two shades of orange (dried magigold distress oxide and Pinkfresh apricot). The lacy wings and the body were stamped with Ranger's watering can ink, and so was the sentiment (Waffle Flower 'Elegant Sentiments' stamps and dies set).

I adhered all the elements to the slate grey cardstock with foam dots, and added some enamel dots in orange, a translucent gem in orange in the middle of the body, and some clear dots. 

The whole panel were adhered on the white basis.

Challenges:

Less Is More #483 - Spring, as spring is full of butterflies all around:

The Paper Players - Clean & Simple, one image only:

Inkspirational #290 - moodboard:

I was inspired by the different shades of orange and the butterfly.

I believe my next card is going to be totally different...

A birthday card, with a vase and flowers

 

'Birthday Honours' at

Sieze the Birthday

Happy Monday to all my crafty friends!

Today I'm sharing a floral birthday card I made, using Pinkfresh Studio 'Floral Vase' stencils and dies.

I followed the colors from Color Throwdown #743, given by Broni.

I always loved the combination of green and pink.

First, I made the vase, with some greyish inks, die cut it and stamped the sentiment.

Then I made the bouquet, playing with the strength of the ink blending, to create some dimension to the leaves. For the flowers I used 3 different inks in shades of pink.

I added some lime enamel dots around the bouquet, and some clear dots to the vase.

I matted the white panel with lime cardstock and adhered to the white basis.

Challenges:

Color Throwdown - lime, pink and white:

Seize the Birthday - I went with the anything goes birthday theme, not using the topping:

The flower challenge - pretty pastels:

With Love card - only solid cardstock

 

One of the Top Three

at Try Stamping on Tuesday

Every now and then, I like to make cards using my solid cardstock scraps, and when one has some (many...) great dies, it gets very easy to make the cards.

This time I challenged myself to use 4 of the colors from Sunday Stamps challenge, although I could use only 3 of them (I didn't use white...):

I used nesting dies, and a script sentiment die in the middle, which says, in Hebrew: 'With Love'.

I added mat dots on both sides, and that's it!

I followed the sketch from Try Stmping On Tuesday:

Celebrate - in orange and slate grey

 

A Fabulous Favorite

at CAS Colours & Sketches

I rearly make square cards, but since this was the request at CAS Colours & Sketches, plus the sketch, I took the challenge...

I also challenged myself with the color combo at Color Hues, which is orange and slate grey:

This color combo was quite a challenge for me, and I opted for subtle hues of orange, stamping the fireworks stamp with different shades of the color.

The sentiment, TH die, was die cut from a very dark grey cardstock, the same one I used for matting the panel.

I added some slate grey enamel dots, and adhered to the white basis.

I really like how this card turned out! And with this color combo, it can fit both for feminine and masculine recipient.

Good Luck on your new way - a card for a new recruit

I needed a card for a young person, who is dear to me, that is a new recruit.

As it's a card for a male, I wanted it to be as simple as possible, without flowers or any embellishments.

I used nesting dies and stamped the image in black and the sentiment in blue. The sentiment says, in Hebrew: 'Good Luck on your new way'.

I adhered the stacked dies on a pp with a very gentle pattern, also in blue hues.

Challenges:

Paper Craft Crue - sketch:

The Male Room challenge - use stencils and/or dies. I used only dies:

Birthday Wishes in green and yellow

 

I loved both the color challenge at Color Throwdown, and the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, so I combined them into my birthday card.

I stamped the flowers using two yellow inks, so I got a tone on tone look. The center of the flowers were stamped with blackk ink. I die cut them with the coordinate dies (Papertrey Ink Pop-up Florals set).

I stamped the sprigs,on a white cs, using two different SU stamps set (Heavenly Hollyhocks and Sending Smiles), in mint and dark green.

I then aranged the flowers on top of the stamped sprigs, using foam dots for the bigger flower. 

I stamped the sentiment (SU Sending Smiles), and adhered it to the flower and the panel.

I matted the white panel on a dark green cs, and then adhered it on the white basis.

For the final touch, I adhered some mint dots.

It also goes for the 'Garden' challenge at Addicted to CAS:

Flowers for an all occasion card

One of the FAV

at Happy Little Stampers

 

An all occasion card, made with dies only. No stamping, inking or masking this time. I only added some glittery enamel dots to the center  of the flowers.

The sentiment says, in Hebrew: Mazal Tov, and it's an all occasion blessing, so can by used for birthday, anniversary, wedding, etc.

For the flowery frame and the background I used Graphic 45  pp from 'Portrait of a Lady' collection.

For the sentiment and it's matting I used some white and kraft scraps.

Challenges:

Color Hues #61- peach and kraft:

TimeOut #235 - photo inspiration:

My inspiration was the wreath hanging on the window, with it's kraft/brown, peach and white colors, plus the script letters.
