Color Throwdown #454 using Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs and Crazy Talk

Happy Wednesday!

Todays Color Throwdown Challenge #454 hit close to home. The inspiration pic was of a Jack Russell. 

My little pup Luna is a Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix so I had to make a card featuring her. 

The colors this week are Green, Kraft and White. 

Since I knew I was doing Luna , I did her on the obvious of grass to incorporate the green. 

I blended Lucky Clover Distress Oxide and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks  

and then die cut using the MFT Die-namics Grassy Fields. 

I wanted clouds but didn't want to add in blue so I just die cut out of some white card stock  using the Avery Elle  Pierced Clouds Dies.

I used the Crazy Talk stamp set to add the sentiment into one of the clouds and heat embossed it with some clear embossing powder. 

I colored Luna using Spectrum Noir Markers and then added some glossy accents onto the eyes and the tag on her collar. I then attached it to a white card base. 

Thank you so much for joining me today and I will see you next week for another Challenge!

Color Throwdown #443 using MFT Bundle of Baby Clothes Dienamics and Welcome Baby Stamp Set

Happy Wednesday and welcome back to another Color Throwdown Challenge.

Unlike last week, I knew exactly what I wanted to use when 

I saw that the colors were Turquoise, Grey, Yellow and White for challenge #443

.

I have been waiting for Simon Says Stamp to get the Bundle of Baby Clothes Die-namics set back in stock and like fate..the package arrived today. 

The background was made with Distress Inks

Clouds: Avery Elle Pierced Clouds Die set & Tumbled Glass Distress Ink

Grass: Mowed Lawn Distress Ink 

Sun: Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink and Tim Holtz Rays Layering Stencil 

I die cut all the baby clothes and line using the MFT Bundle of Baby Clothes Die-namics and my random stash of pattern paper and card stock.  I also used some glossy accents onto the stars.

The sentiments on the inside and outside were stamped with Versafine and I used Recollections Clear Embossing powder for the one on the front of the card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and hopefully I will see you next week for another challenge!

MFT Forever Friends for the Color Throwdown #442

Hello There!

I am back with my second time trying my hand at the Color Throwdown Challenge. 

The challenge colors are Kraft, Aqua, Gray and Yellow. 

The card is cute but I am not sure how great for the challenge it is. 

I had gotten my first cloud dies and I really was dying to use them. I also had the MFT Forever Friends stamp set and figured I would combine the two. 

I knew the sky will complete the aqua bit and the bear would be the gray, 

I ink blended mustard seed and a tad bit of twisted citron distress ink. 

I was trying to stay in the guidelines with yellow but now i think it looks like dying grass instead of like a field or pasture which is what I was going for. LOL 

Sky: 

Avery Elle Pierced Clouds Die set

Tumbled Glass Distress Ink

Bear:

Green Gray, Light Gray, Light Carmine Zig Clean Color Markers

Bird:

Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Inks

I stamped a sentiment for the CZ Design Simple Sentiments stamp set in versafine and colored a heart with a Zig Clean Color Marker in Green Gray. 

I matted it onto the kraft card stock then popped up with foam tape onto a white card base. 

I think it is cute though uber simple even for me but I really liked how the clouds came out.

Thank you for stopping by and have a awesome day!!
