Reverse Confetti / Color Throwdown

Hello!  Today is my last post as a guest for the Color Throwdown Challenge!  

These colors are so tranquil.  I pulled out an older but awesome Confetti Cut from Reverse Confetti called Sand Dollar.

My background was created by loosely watercoloring Peeled Paint and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks over Tim Holtz watercolor paper.  I also added some flicks of the same color.  I die cut the Sand Dollar in white cardstock and blended in Pumice Stone Distress Ink at the edges.  

I stamped my sentiment, from Hanging Blooms, in black ink and added some pearls for accents.  As a final touch, I added my panel with foam adhesive to a scored panel (every 1/4") of Iced Aqua cardstock.

 

Please join me along with the entire Color Throwdown DT with this week's colors and create!

Lil' Inker Designs / September Release Day 1 / Giveaway

 

Hello!  

Welcome to Day 1 of the Lil' Inker Designs September Release!  This release is FULL of amazing dies and stamps for fall and Halloween......are you ready?  Guess what??  The whole new release is now available and can be found HERE!!!

Shop now......HERE!

Fall Foliage will be a fast favorite!  This set is filled with gorgeous blooms, leaves, and buds.  After white heat embossing all the images onto Bristol Smooth cardstock, I ink blended Dried Marigold, Worn Lipstick, Festive Berries, and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks over the top.  After arranging them over a white panel cut with the Stitched Woodgrain Cover Up Die, I picked them up with Press 'n Seal to be able to add some dimension to parts of my arrangement.  A simple 'thanks' die cut word, from Bouquet of Roses Die, was inked up in the same Distress Inks and added to my card.  As finishing touches, I added some white gems from Pretty Pink Posh.

Supplies:

Fall Foliage

Fall Foliage Dies

Stitched Woodgrain Cover Up Die

Bouquet of Roses Die

Color Throwdown / The Stamp Market--Petal Patch

Hello!  

I am so honored to share a card as a Guest Designer for the Color Throwdown Challenge!  These colors are sure to get you inspired!

Again this week's colors are fall inspired and gave me a chance to use this beautiful layering stamp set from The Stamp Market called Petal Patch.

Actually, to create this card, all the supplies are from The Stamp Market!  I stamped a kraft panel using the Just Checking In stamp to create my own background paper.  I added a kraft die cut frame using Oh Happy Day Shaker Die.  I stamped and die cut my florals from Petal Patch and arranged them in the lower left corner.  My sentiment is 'thankful' from Lots of Leaves (yes, I used this last week too! It's that good!) and partial stamping from Friendly Bunch.  

Please join me along with the entire Color Throwdown DT with this week's colors and create!

Color Throwdown / Lots of Leaves from The Stamp Market

 

Hello!  I am so honored to share a card as a Guest Designer for the Color Throwdown Challenge!  These colors are sure to get you inspired!

This week's colors are fall inspired and are what drew me to use this new stamp set from The Stamp Market called Lots of Leaves.

I stamped them in red and orange inks and added the patterns in black ink.  I layered them over a blended area of Broken China/Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.  A stacked sentiment stamped in blue finishes out the colors for this challenge.  As an embellishment, I added a twine bow and some gold gems.

Reverse Confetti / Birthday Sale!

 

Hello!  It's Jen's birthday and the Confetti Crew is celebrating by showing off some Reverse Confetti!  What's better yet???  A 20% SALE!!  Time to go shopping!  But first, I wanted to wish my friend Jen a very Happy Birthday!!!

To help celebrate, I used some older stamps Boxes 'N Balloons and Elemental Stripes.  I stamped the wavy stamp in Iced Aqua, Piggy Bank, and Grape Soda Premium Dye Inks from Reverse Confetti.  Next , I stamped 'Happy Birthday' balloons in the same coordinating inks and die cut with the Boxes 'N Balloons Confetti Cuts.  I added some die cut bows from the same sets as well.  To finish, I added some sparkling clear confetti.

My color scheme came from the current Color Throwdown Challenge:  

The last of the sketches........

So, I had challenged myself to use all of the Viva la Verve sketches this month.  There were 5.  Here is the last one and last day to submit them to SCS.  I especially liked this sketch with all it's layers!

I have to say that these Verve sketches are very addicting!  You will be seeing me use more of them for sure!  Here I've used the newest set from Verve:  Making a Statement.  My friend, Jen, and I fell in love with this set.  I love the sentiments, the flowers, the birdies, the coordinating dies!  My color scheme is loosely based from this week's Color Throwdown #157.

Thank you soo much for stopping by today!  Your comments are so appreciated!!

Another Valentine??

No, I don't have another LOVE card for you today although I have been enjoying making them!

When I saw the current color challenge for Color Throwdown,

I knew I needed to create a holiday card with these colors and get back into the season!

My flowers were die cut on the red cardstock and discarded.  The Joy flower is stamped on

white cardstock behind the red layer.  Fun technique!

The red layer was also ran through my Big Shot with the Linen Impression Plate

for just a little bit of texture but it's hard to see here.

Going to keep this short .........got lots to do today!!!
