I have been meaning to play along at CAS-ual Fridays #158 since it was posted, and only got a chance to make my card this weekend.
I used my lightest shade of pink to stamp the Hope Ribbon die in a pattern all over my card front. I die cut 3 of these cute Memory Box Taylor Party Dress dies in darker shades of pink. The challenge is to use 8 of something, and I embellished the center dress with 8 tiny rhinestones along the hem.
I think this is my first time playing along at MFT Color Challenge #55, and think it will be the first of many. I really enjoy color challenges because I often have a hard time deciding what colors to use.
I used SSS One with Nature and some WPlus9 inks to make this masculine birthday card. I will also enter this card at Seize the Birthday Anything Goes.
Thanks for Visiting
Two sweet cards Joyce...love your beautiful pink card, so inspiring! And your birthday card with those gorgeous fall leaves/trees, so perfect for this time of year!
ReplyDeleteThey are both very pretty Joyce! The little touch of sparkle on the first is a nice addition to your delicate card!
ReplyDeleteYour hope card is so sweet, Joyce, and your leaves against that woodgrain e/f are so perfect for fall! Thanks for the reminder about the MFT Color challenge; I've forgotten about that one! Hugs, Darnell

Those pink party frocks have such great impact against the subtle ribbon stamping, Joyce ... especially with the one with the rhinestone hem! Cool, crisp and deliciously masculine trees ... perfect with the woodgrain texture! Hugs, Anita :)
