Color Hues #142

Good morning, Happy Monday!  I'm back with another fun card for this week's Color Hues challenge!  I knew right away that I wanted to make a kid's card, and the first thing that came to mind was a lion.  So, that's the route I took!  

For the polka dot background, I used a very old designer paper from Stampin' Up! called Patterns Pack.  For the lion's hair, I used a digital paper from my files.  I thought it matched perfectly with the Burnt Red color as shown above.    

Supplies:

Paper: Polka Dot Paper (Stampin' Up!); Lion's Hair (Digital Paper)

Stamp: Itty Bitty Birthday (MFT)

Ink: Black Licorice (MFT)

Accessories: Lion cut with the Cricut Maker

Color Hues #140

Hello, friends! I’m back with another card for this week’s Color Hues Challenge.  I had the window die on my desk from using it last week, so I decided to use it again, along with the branch and bird die that I remembered having in my stash.  I thought it was the perfect addition to the window.  I also remembered having some old Stampin' Up! designer paper from many years ago that matches the colors, so I decided to incorporate that as well.  I love giving some of those older supplies in my stash a little love!

Supplies:

Paper: Designer Paper (Stampin' Up!) 

Stamp: Sending Smiles (Hero Arts)

Ink: Black Licorice (MFT)

Accessories: Nestled Bird and the Madison Window (Poppy Stamps), Woodland Branch (Memory Box)

Freshly Made Sketches #749

Hello, friends!  I had some time last night to create a card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches .  I dusted off an old set of flower dies from My Favorite Things called Stitched Blooms and went with the dies that look like daisies.  I know daisies aren’t usually blue but the color matched perfectly with the blue gingham washi tape.

The Paper Players #798

Hello, friends!  I’m back to share a fun card for this week’s The Paper Players Challenge.  Stef gave us a new color challenge, and I immediately knew what I wanted to create - a doggie card!  I’ve had this idea in my head of creating a card with a doggie holding a balloon, and these colors were perfect for it.  I used some teal twine to mimic the doggie holding the balloon.  I love how this little pup turned out! 

Supplies:

Paper: All from my stash

Stamp: Sending Smiles (Hero Arts)

Ink: Black Licorice (MFT)

Accessories: Teal Twine (Home Goods), Images cut with the Cricut Maker
