#TCDCC10-Color Challenge_Paper Crafting

This week’s Color Challenge colors are Terracotta Tile, So Saffron, and Coastal Cabana.

#TCDCC10_Heal_Your_Heart_Color_Challenge_Lori_Skinner_This_Crafters_Dream

This card took me all of 12 minutes to get everything stamped, die-cut, and assembled. Superfast right! I paired up the Art Gallery Stamp Set, paper, and the Free Heal Your Heart Stamp Set. I love how simple and beautiful this card turned out. For more info on how I made this card and cardstock dimensions, use the link below. I do need to apologize in advance. I noticed my card has more colors than the challenge colors. I totally spaced out of that fact and was hyper-focused on Terracotta Tile, So Saffron, and Coastal Cabana…I got them—silly me. I will make an additional card only using those three colors and edit this post this week.

*Updated Post 1/19/2021

I promised to redo my card using only the three color challenge colors, and here you go. I have a Terracotta Tile cardbase that I stamped the large flower image from the Art Gallery Stamp set using Terracotta Tile ink, then added a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of So Saffron cardstock behind a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Coastal Cabana DSP. I kept the sentiment layer the same as the about card for the most part. The only change was that I used Terracotta Tile ink for the flower accent stamped image instead of the So Saffron ink.  You can use the same card instruction linked below to complete this card, and you will need to substitute the DSP with the Coastal Cabana one.

TGIF COLOR CHALLENGE – FLOWER & FIELD

Hello everyone. I am excited to share something new with you today. After creating the color challenges for my own blog, I have found myself wanting to participate in challenges as well. I did some searching and came across the talented ladies over at TGIF Challenges and thought I would give it a try. So, here is the card I am showcasing for the TGIF Sketch Challenge #298. I am in love with this card! Doesn’t it remind you of the vintage paintings on velvet?

Heal_Your_Heart_Flower_Field_DSP_Sorry_For_Your_Loss_Lori_Skinner_This_Crafters_Dream

This card has minimal stamping, if you can believe it. Only the sentiment is stamped with black ink. The flowers were all cut from the Flowers & Fields Designer Series Paper. Hard to believe, right. To create this card, I started with a Basic Black background that I glued down to a Shaded Spruce layer. I fussy cut the large flower cluster from the DSP along with a few other smaller individual flowers. I glued down the large flower bouquet to the black cardstock and added the Shaded Spruce sentiment layer directly onto the flowers. To finish the bouquet, I added a few of the single flowers using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Once I was happy with the floral layout, I stuck down the layers to a Basic Black cardbase to complete the card.

I had so much fun playing along with this week’s TGIF Challenge #TGIFC298 that I think I might participate a couple of times a month just for fun!

#TCDCC9 COLOR CHALLENGE – A TOUCH OF INK

Happy Monday, everyone! How was your weekend? I hope it was more exciting than mine. The hubby and I sorted out boxes from our shed that needed rebuilding. I should say I sat with my leg elevated while I told Brian where to put the stuff from the unpacked boxes. I could get used to that kind of unpacking.

It is time for the next installment of This Crafters Dream Color challenge! To play along, complete your project using the colors given in the weekly challenge and post your project to the comments on my TCD Facebook Page using the hashtag #tcdcc9.

I loved working with this A Touch Of Ink Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set! Achieving a beautiful card in just a few minutes was super simple. I like this stamp set because, at my house, I have a ton of Hummingbirds flitting around my front and back yards. I could watch them all day. Hummingbirds are one of my favorite birds!

Now it’s your turn to play with this week’s Color Challenge. Create your masterpiece using these colors and post your card to the comments of my #TCDCC9 post on my TCD Facebook Page. Friday, I will randomly pick a winner and mail my card as a thank you for playing along.
