For Always

I made this card using the colors from Play Date Café and the sketch from Pals Paper Arts. CTMH doesn't really have a neon yellow, so I used Honey, the closest we have.

I think it turned out really nice. I used the My Stickease for the sentiment circle.

Materials used:
Cardstock: White Daisy
B&Ts: For Always
My Stickease: For Always
Embellishments: For Always Assortment
Other: pattern scissors

Whaley Good

The second card I made today (before watching 3 episodes of Downton Abbey), is a water-themed card for these challenges:

Heart 2 Heart - water, water everywhere
Sweet Sketch Wednesday
The Pink Elephant Challenge - Monochromatic Colors

My monochromatic colors on this card are Lilac Mist, Heavenly Blue (both retired), and Outdoor Denim. The sentiment says "Have a Whaley good time." I used my "tiny bubbles" embossing folder, stamped the sand dollar on the canvas button, and trimmed my milepost star to look like a starfish to add to the oceany feel of the card. I had so much fun with that!



Materials used:
Cardstock: Lilac Mist, Heavenly Blue, White Daisy, Outdoor Denim
Stamps: Under the Sea, Footloose WOTG
Ink: Lilac Mist
Other: Outdoor Denim Chevron Ribbon, Canvas Badge Buttons, Milepost Shapes, Prisma Glitter

Apple of my Eye

I wanted to make several cards this morning, but I only got around to making two. I just had to watch some episodes of Downton Abbey. This was the first one. I am participating in these challenges:

Freshly Made Sketches
Color Throwdown
Simon Says Stamps - Summer Food/Drink
Pile It On - Just because/thinking of you

I thought the colors in the Color Throwdown inspiration picture looked an awful lot like our Viva exclusive paper pack that we got at convention. I just had to throw some pink in there, and it was perfect. So I used Hollyhock as my card base. The apple was stamped in second generation Juniper. So the colors I chose (Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Slush, and Rich Razzleberry) are Juniper, Sunset, Hollyhock, and Smokey Plum.


Materials used:
Cardstock: White Daisy, Hollyhock
B&Ts: Viva (convention exclusive)
Stamps: Mayberry WOTG
Ink: Smokey Plum, Juniper
Other: Sunset Baker's Twine
