Make it Monday and Color Challenges

This week's Make it Monday MIM#66 has a great tutorial by Ashley about making felt flowers from border dies.  There is also quite a bit of good information about how she puts her cards together from sketches, so have a look when you get a chance.

I made two cards using this technique, one for each daughter.  I was fortunate enough this week to see two color challenges that each seemed perfect for one of my girls.  Both of my cards were inspired by (OK, copied from) a card I saw this morning by Kara.

This first card uses this week's ColourQ CQC#137.  I interpreted the colors as Amuse Slate, PTI Winter Wisteria, Simply Chartreuese, and Hawaiian Shores.  I used PTI Vine Die to create my rolled flower out of Hawaiian Shores felt.  The flower looked a little small after rolling just the cut vine portion, so I used the cut away piece and rolled that part around as well.  This card is for my youngest daughter.

My second card uses this week's Color Throwdown CTD192.  I interpreted the colors as Amuse Slate, Sweet Blush, Orange Zest and Hibiscus Burst.  I used the PTI Heart Border die to make my flower out of Hibiscus Burst felt.  My older daughter will get this card.  She loves pink (and smooches).
