Painted Petals Colour Me Catty ~ CMCC71 & CTC29

Hello!  It's Colour Me Wednesday again!  This week is the yummy combo of Melon Mambo and Pear Pizzaz.....mmmmm, doesn't that sound delightful!  Anyway, our design team has come up with some pretty amazing creations to inspire you!

I also used the sketch from CASEing the Catty #29.  

I kept it pretty simple....just some pretty flowers, a couple butterflies and some black to make the brighter colors pop.  

Make sure you check out the Colour Me DT blogs!

Whale Thanks! ~ DD53 & RS64

This card is for Dynamic Duos 53 Black Tie Challenge using Pacific Point and Black & Retro Sketches 64.

 

I havn't used my little whale as much as I thought I would, so when I saw this color challenge I figured it would be the perfect time to pull him out.  I browsed around for a sketch to use and settled upon Retro Sketches.  I struggled a little with incorporating the banner/ribbon peice on the side, but finally came up with this silver cord and placed the anchor on the bottom of it.  Otherwise, I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out.  I had some punched silver glimmer circles laying on my desk from a previous project, and used them up placing them here and there over my embossed background.

 

 

 

Here's a list of my supplies....

Stamps: Oh, Whale

Paper: Black, Pacific Point, White, Silver Glimmer

Ink: Pacific Point, Black

Accessories: Braided silver cord, circle punch, scallop border punch, bitty banners framelit, big dots EF, Clouds EF, Whale die, Corner rounder punch, Sponge dauber

Fun Thanks

It's another happy Saturday and time for the latest Dynamic Duos color challenge!  This week is the soft and subtle combo of So Saffron and Certainly Celery.  I did not have any Certainly Celery left in my stash, so I subbed in Pear Pizzaz.  My jumping off point was the color combo of course, but I mixed in the sketch from Try Stampin' On Tuesday.

I thought the cute little trike from the Moving Forward set would be a nice fit for this cheerful color combo.  I also found some fun designer paper from Floral District and Pawsatively Prints II to get this card going.  I stamped the trike in Pear Pizzaz, cut it out with a labels die and layered it on a hand cut label.  Sometimes the next size up die is to large for layering on a project, so I traced around the outside of the same die I used on the trike and did some hand cutting.  This makes a nice little layering piece.  I added the punched flowers for a 3-D ellement.  The one below the basket is placed there because of an ink smear.  I was happy to find a way to cover it up!  The little frog layered on punch circles brings a little more whimsy and fun.  The last thing   I did was add some glitter glue to the frog's hop trail, and the trike.  

Make sure you pop on over and visit the blogs of the other design team members!  They have all delivered tons of inspiration!
