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 #461 featuring Crazy Dogs stamp set

Hey All,

It has been a while since my last post and I apologize. My MacBook Pro is causing me to go crazy cause the screen is not working. I am using a Windows laptop till I can try to fix it and I am just not used to it.

I do tech support for cellphones as my day job and have patience all day. When it comes to me and a computer....I have none!

Anywho... here is my submission for this weeks Color Throwdown #461.

The colors this week were Purple, Green, Yellow and Orange. Those colors scream Halloween to me.

I used a Simon Says Stamp Diamond Circles Stencil and ink blened with Distress Inks, I used Carved Pumpkin , Wilted Violet, Mustard Seed and Lucky Clover.

All of the Elements and Sentiment are from the Stampers Anonymous Crazy Dogs, Crazy Things and Crazy Talk Stamp Sets. I colored all the images with the same Distress Ink Color plus Black Soot.

Thank you so much for coming by and see you next time!!

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!
