ColourQ, MIM, Color Throwdown and One Layer Wednesday





Hi there.  I have a couple of cards for a bunch of challenges today.  I think I am finally getting the hang of combining challenges.  My first card is for this week's ColourQ cQc #178, where I have used glitter for 3 of the 5 colors, and this week's Make it Monday #105:  Glitter Trim.  Dawn used her Xyron in the video, but I adhered 1 inch wide scortape to my card stock, and ran that through my Big Shot with the Double Ended Banner Die.







My next card is for this week's One Layer Wednesday challenge OLW #129:  All in a Row-Create a Card with a Row of Anything.  I am also playing along with this week's Simon Says Stamp and Show to use a stamp you love but don't use.  This challenge has me digging out old favorites that haven't seen much ink.  I pulled out Garden Variety--a set I had to have at the time, but haven't used much.  And, because I am trying to use some of my older, forgotten inkpads, I inked the watering can in Brilliance Platinum Planet--a shimmery silver color that qualifies for this week's CAS-ual Fridays CFC91:  Hi Ho Silver.  It is a bit hard to see in this picture, but the center watering can is embossed with clear over the silver.





My last card for today uses the colors for this week's Color Throwdown CTD231.


All these cards will be entered into this week's Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes challenge.

  3. Love all those cards.
    the layout for the MIM card is awesome.
    I too had to have Garden Variety and use it very little. You have inspired me to use if for a late spring birthday card for my neice.
    The Fancy Folk Art flowers with the woodgrain impression is beautiful. I think maybe I need to take a second look at this set.

  4. They're all fabulous...
    love that sparkly glitter...
    but I am so not looking at that last card...
    it's gorgeous...
    but I am turning away because it could be the card that pushes me over the edge with this set...
    so I'm not looking! :)

  12. hmm, my comment disappeared before I was finished - not sure it this will be a duplicate, but I'll say it again LOL. Combining challenges can be tough, because you want to be true to the spirit of both - your first card really does this brilliantly! The last card is stunning - fabulous design.

  13. Joyce all of your cards are wonderful. I am so scared of glitter but your glitter banner are just incredible. Great job with the colours! Your watering can is so sweet, I should actually use that stamp sometime. Now Fancy Folk Art on the woodgrain embossing???? Brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing this week at the colourQ!

  18. Diggin' on your watering can card. It really caught my eye so I had to click on it over at the OLW challenge. Totally jealous of how good you are with the FAF. All the cards that you made with the set are amazing. Also, great technique using the banner die on the MIM card.
