Hello and happy Friday. I was so lucky to find myself in my craft room many times this week, and I thought I'd better post, before the challenges I am playing along with close.
First up is a trio of cards using the Hero Arts MMH kit from September 2018. I pulled out the kit, die cut and colored a bunch of images, and then just started putting some cards together. I made 6 cards in all, and am sharing the first three here today.
I am entering both of these cards at CAS on Friday #216: Autumn and Addicted to Stamps and More #416: Make Your Mark.
This card also was made using elements from the same kit. I used gold heat embossing on the stamps, with a bit of distress oxide ink blending. I am entering all three of these Hero Arts cards at Stay Crafty with Hero #28: Fall Colors, Retro Rubber #169: Anything Goes (stamps are from 9/2018), Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Fall Mood Board, and Shopping Our Stash #456: Autumn.
Next up is a Christmas card, inspired by the challenge at PTI: The Great Cover Up, Addicted to Stamps and More #416: Make Your Mark, and Retro Rubber #169: Anything Goes (stamps are from October, 2012)
I was inspired by the color challenge at Less is More #453: Purple and Yellow for my next card. I never think of these two colors together, but really like this combo. I used PTI Blooming Thoughts stamps and dies--and have to say that until I splurged and bought the dies, I found it impossible to imagine how to layer and line up the layers of stamps. I added a few sequins to this card and am entering it at PTI What Do I Do With This Challenge: use sequins, as well as AAA Cards #200: Celebrate and WCW326: Occasions.
Aren't these mice from Colorado Crafts just adorable? I love the style of the illustrator, who I remember from when my kids were little. I was inspired by the colors at Color Throwdown #664, and am also entering them at Addicted to Stamps and More #416: Make Your Mark.
Thanks for Visiting
There can be no calling of favourites here, because I love all of them! I am so glad you added so many of these to the Make Your Mark challenge, as your colouring is impeccable. And your CAS use of the Colorado Crafts stamps make me want to take yet another look at them.
