New Baby Card using Neat and Tangled Balloon Duos Stencil

Hey!

It has been a while since I did the Color Throwdown Challenge

 but I am so excited to get back into it.  

The CTD #480 colors are lilac, green, gray and white. 

A friend of mine is having a new baby. 

We don't  know the gender so I thought these colors would be great for a neutral baby card. 

I used the Neat and Tangled Balloons Duo stencil to create the background. I ink blended with Distress Inks in Weathered Wood, Wilted Violet and Mowed Lawn.

The sentiment is from the Honey Bee Hooray! Honey Cuts. 

I popped the piece onto a gray striped pattern paper from my stash 

using SSS Big Momma Foam Tape.

The inside sentiment is from the MFT Welcome Baby stamp set. 

Thank you so much for stopping by to check out this card and I hope to see you next week for another Color Throwdown Challenge.

Color Throwdown #448 using MFT Beautiful Blooms

Happy Wednesday!

Today I have the card I made for the Color Throwdown Challenge #448.

The colors this week are Purple, Hot Pink, Mint and Teal.

I wanted to use my new floral builder set from 

My Favorite Things called Beautiful Blooms to make a thinking of you card for my mother in law. 

I hate even calling her my mother in law....shes my Mom.

I used Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Cracked Pistachio, Wilted Violet and Broken China.

I stamped using the inks and then went over them with a water brush to fill in. 

When all done I used Black Soot Distress Ink to add some splatter. 

I die cut the piece using the rectangle die from the MFT Blueprints 13 Die-namics.  I matted it onto black card stock.

The sentiment came from the same set and I white heat embossed it onto some black card stock. I then popped it up with some foam tape. 

I used the same flowers to add onto the envelope. I then added some Glimmer mist onto the card and envelope to add some sparkle. I admit I was a tad heavy handed with it on the envelope. Luckily was the envelope and not the card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and 

I will see you next Wednesday for another Color Throwdown Challenge!

Color Throwdown Challenge #446 using the MFT Sketchy Flowers Card Kit

Happy Wednesday!

Today I have my submission for The Color Throwdown Challenge #446.

The colors for this week are Green, Yellow and Coral.

I have been playing with the My Favorite Things Sketchy Flowers Card Kit a bunch lately and just had to use it for this challenge.

I watercolored the flowers with Abandoned Coral, Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio and Mustard Seed Distress Inks. 

I also used Black Soot Distress Ink to do the splatter.

I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and popped up a couple with some foam squares.

The sentiment banner, sentiment and You is also from the card kit. 

The wood pattern paper is from a Joannes. It is from ms. sparkle & co. wood paper pad. It is a great pad and only $1.99!

I also used a white gel pen to add some dots to the flowers centers. 

You can't tell in the pics but I used a Wink of Stella  glitter pen on the flowers and the YOU. 

Thank you so much for coming by and I will see you next week!
