Washi Tape

I had a major score at Michael's this week, $4.50 for a tube of 8 rolls of washi tape.  I need more washi tape like a hole in the head, but I am loving the color orange right now, add in some great purples and reds - I couldn't resist!  The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. 

I am sharing this the House of Cards challenge based on this image:

Blending Colors

This the color inspiration this week at the Color Throwdown:

Here is my version:

The background stamp and sentiment are from the Lovely Notes collection from Stamp of Approval.  I heat embossed the background in clear, and then used Distress Inks Stormy Sky and Scattered Straw.  Not sure I love the twine, though.  Too thin, maybe?

Jingle Belles Red Challenge

The Jingle Belles challenge this week is to make a card that is predominately red.

Love the contrast and impact.  Ohhhh!!!  I think I need to try this in navy, and in black, and in green, and.....  Stampendous image heat embossed in white.

W2CB #32: A Single Step

This month's challenge at Words 2 Craft By is:

The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.  ~~ Lao-Tzu

I live on a cul-de-sac with only 7 houses, and 3 of our neighbors are moving.  That means we have to say goodbye to 3 families, and hello to 3 others. 

 I broke out my beloved Fashion Statements stamps, and colored this one with Derwent watercolor pencils.  Show us how you take the first step at our Words 2 Craft By challenge!!!

Bordered Sentiment II

This week's Mod Squad challenge is to use a bordered sentiment without flowers. Here is another take on the challenge:

I have a lot going on here.  The delicate circle die is from my Lovely Notes box, the centers were from another die cut I inked with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink and used on another project.  The vertical sentiment is from Unity.  The dotted background was made using a stamp from Lovely Notes and stamped with Chipped Sapphire. 

Thinking of You

The inspiration image is:

 

 I love this color combo!

I used Versamark ink and a stamp from the Lovely Notes box from Catherine Pooler and to add some interest to the rounded squares.  The sentiment is from Fiskars. I am also sharing this with the Creative with Stamps Geometric challenge.  The next Words 2 Craft By challenge starts August 10!!
