Two More to Share

Hello - Two more cards to share this weekend. First is a simple one layer card (for One Layer Simplicity Challenge - Multitude of Gratitude) using the Brushed Off set which I stamped in the various ColourQ challenge colors along the bottom. Simple sentiment from Thank You Kindly and scattered a few enamel dots along the bottom. 

My next creation is a wine bottle tag I am looking forward to using during the upcoming holiday season. Always nice to have these on hand to add to a last minute gift of wine. I was inspired to make to play along with Tracy McNeeley's 25 Days of Christmas Tags festivities. So much fun stuff going on there! I was inspired again by Laura Bassen's wreath tag HERE.  For my tag, I created an outline using an image from Spruce & Sprigs and added a few berries. It ended up being similar to THIS card I created the same night. I die cut the top portion of the wine bottle tag in red and attached it to give more color and reinforce it. I plan on writing the to/from info in the center of the tag when I decide to give it. Colors inspired by the Colour Me....Striking challenge. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Sunday Recap

Sharing a couple of projects I created today while catching up on some shows. It was 14 degrees outside today and WAY too cold to go anywhere. First up is a wine bottle tag inspired by the Tag You're It! inspiration from Donna Mikasa. 

I cut a wine bottle tag out of black card stock and layered a smaller white tag on top. On the white tag I stamped these colorful medallions (from Round Repeats) and layered a die cut sentiment (Wonderful Words Thank You cut in two) on top.

For the next project, I created a one layer card. Card design inspired by CAS(E) This Sketch challenge. I used my new Clear Scraps Spiral stencil on the bottom corner and blended Summer Sunrise ink starting dark in the corner and working my way out. I'm getting the hang of blending inks now and love the effect.  I added a hot air balloon from Up, Up, and Away and colored it with Copics. 

Entering this into this month's One-Layer Simplicity challenge. 

Hope you are enjoying the long weekend! Thanks for stopping by! 

Colour Me....Anniversary!

Hello friends!

It's a big day of celebration today....not only is it New Year's Eve but also the 1 year anniversary of the Colour Me....! challenge blog which I've had the honor to be a part of these last 6 months.

This anniversary challenge this week is to pick any of the fabulous color combinations from 2014 and create something new with it. Here's what I made using some new goodies that came in from Santa this month....

I used this fun colorful palette with the new Sending Hugs set. Wanted something bright and happy for this 'just because' card. 

I added the rest of the sentiment on the inside. 

And surprise surprise, I created a wine bottle tag with this beautiful color combination and the PTI December freebie, Pretty Petals. 

Hope you will check out the Colour Me...! blog to see all the anniversary fun going on.  

And an another note, if you are looking for some inspiration and planning help with all of your crafty & scrapbooking resolutions and goals for 2015, check out the Start Fresh workshop at Simple Scrapper this week. I've got lots I want to accomplish this coming year and am excited to get it all organized. 

Happy New Year....may 2015 bring you peace, happiness, and lots of time to create! 

Colour Me....Striking! #46

Happy Wednesday!  Its time for a new Colour Me.....Striking! challenge  and this week we are using the fun combination of navy and orange. You are welcome to create anything with these colors and add in neutrals such as black, gray, white, kraft, and vanilla.

I created a fun wine bottle tag using these colors paired up with kraft. I cut the Notched Star banner in Enchanted Evening and have Orange Zest peeking through the stars and placed that piece on a Wine Bottle Tag cut out of Kraft. 

Before I adhered the top piece I stamped random dotted stars on the Kraft for added interest. Its topped off with a double ended banner in Orange Zest.

I hope you will play along at Colour Me this week. The Colour Me...! team has made some fabulous cards for your inspiration this week so head on over their blogs and check them out.
