ColourQ Challenge 148

The color combination this week for the ColorQ Challenge #148 said 'flower' to me.  I learned how to make the flower on my card at SU! convention this year and love them!

 I used the criss-cross card technique using Tangerine Tango and went from there.  This card is really cute, I just can't mail it very easily because of the 3D flower, so I will have to hand deliver it to someone special!

Fun Flower Vase

This was a fun and easy project to make.  I saw the idea from a gift and made my own version to give as a gift!  I used the Everyday Enchantment DSP, ribbon, and brads from the 2012 Sale-a-Bration catalog.  The glass is filled with dried garbanzo beans, which went well with my color scheme and added a fun texture. 

Summer Boating

I haven't posted anything or done any challenges for a long time. (Almost a year!)  I was looking around and was inspired by the Stampin' Celebration Inspiration Challenge #56 so I thought I would give it a try! When I saw this I immediately thought of the boat stamp from the "Moving Forward" Stamp Set.  I chose the colors Marina Mist, Pumpkin Pie, and Whisper White for my card.  

I love the Polka Dot Parade DSP, which is shown here in Pumpkin Pie. I tore fabric strips from the Essentials Designer Fabric and twisted them together to create the 'ribbon.'  

Hope you enjoyed my card!

Twin Layouts

I used the same layout for these two cards but made them completely different with the color and picture choices.  I really like them both!

Boxed In

This card is simple and neat- I like how it almost has a rustic feel to it!

Little Flower Boxes

I love using little flowers on cards.  I made these two cards exactly the same just with different background paper- which one do you like better?

Mermaid

The girl I babysit turned 6 and she was having a mermaid themed birthday party, so I wanted to make her a mermaid card.  Using punches this is what I created!
