Today's color combo challenge was to use Real red, Glorious green and Night of navy. I can't say that I was crazy about this combo but I vowed to do all of the challenges this week. Here is the card that I came up with, but I'm not really feeling it. *sigh*
Supplies: Stamps- Bodacious bouquet, studio g. Paper- white, real red, glorious green, night of navy. Ink- night of navy, glorious green, real red. Accessories- paper crimper.
The challenge for today was to use layered ribbon as an embellishment. Since I've been in a little bit of a creative funk I cased this beautiful card by sparklegirl .
Here is my card. I changed the color from blue to sage shadow, used different stamps and added the ribbon layer to fit the challenge requirements.
Supplies: Stamps- Inkadinkado, TAC This is me. Paper- Chocolate chip, very vanilla, CC designer paper, sage shadow. Ink- Chocolate chip. Accessories- clear embossing powder, dimensionals, rhinestones, stardust gelly roll pen, stickles, paper piercer, ribbon.Sorry for the late post today. Now that the weather is starting to be nicer we've been getting out a lot more and spending lots of time outside! Here is a picture of my week in review. It looks like I didn't get to much done this week huh? My goal for this week is to do all of the challenges to get my mojo in high gear.
Card give away- Leave a comment on this post and I will use a random number generator to pick the winner. That person will get to choose the card of their choice (excluding the one on the bottom left) and I will send it to them.
Bonus- The person that was chosen as the winner for my cloud tutorial never e-mailed me her info so this RAK is back up for grabs. It contains- two cloud templates, four make up sponges and my tutorial card. Leave me a comment on this post and I will choose the winner later this week!
I love those decorated wooden shapes that you can find at JoAnn's and Michaels. They are so darn cute and so cheap! I buy them but then don't know what to do with them. Here is something that I came up with....
Supplies-
Decorated wood flower
Flower pail
Green acrylic paint
Wooden skewer or dowel
Floral moss
Picture (sized to fit in the flower shape hole)
Step 1- Paint the skewer with green paint.
Step 2- adhere picture to back of flower shape. I just used plain old masking tape.
Step 3- "stuff" the moss into the pail. The moss is going to help to steady the wooden skewer when finished.
Step 4- Trim the grass
Step 5- Adhere the skewer to the back of the flower shape. I found that hot glue worked great.
Step 6- Place the flower securely in the moss. If you want, you can cut out a leaf shape out of card stock and add it to the skewer. ( I just used plain tape adhesive but I'm sure that double sided sticky tape would be best for this.)
Thanks for looking, I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial!
I had so much fun using this set for the challenge earlier in the week that I wanted to use it again for today's challenge which was to use white and only one other color. I chose to use Groovy Guava for the other color but the lighting was bad when I took this picture so it looks more orange.
Supplies: Stamps- Studio G, Inkadinkado. Paper- White, groovy guava. Ink- Groovy guava. Accessories- Corner punch, stardust gelly roll pen, dimensionals, cloud template, makeup sponge
