MFT Wednesday Sketch + The Color Hues Challenges

 

I created this punny card for two current challenges:

My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge

 The Color Hues Challenge   

 

I started with die cutting navy and lime green strips then stamped images using Memento Tuxedo Black on X-Press It Blending Card and coloring with Copics. 

STAMPS: Sweet Succulents (My Favorite Things).

INK: Memento Tuxedo Black; Sapphire (Pinkfresh Studio).

PAPER: Sour Apple, Blueberry (?) - MFT; Stampers Select White (PTI); X-Press It Blending Card.

DIES: Master Layouts 08 (Gina K Designs); Sweet Succulents (MFT).

COPICS: E08, E97, YR14, YG21, YG17, YG13, R11, R21, Y04, Y15.

 

Thankfully it's Friyay! Another snow storm and frigid cold temps are forecast for the weekend, so that meant a quick trip to Target for stocking up on some staples (bread, milk, snacks, etc.).  ~Wanda

 

SSS Wednesday Challenge

The new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is happening and they are asking us to create a CAS design. Hero Arts is the sponsor and I have very few products from that company. I went with an old chrysanthemum die and layered it over a color blended background.  

The hello sentiment from Papertrey Ink was die cut twice to add more dimension.

INK: Bright Buttercup, Orange Zest, Amethyst Allure (PTI).
 

That's a wrap for today. Thanks for stopping by.  ~Wanda

Word Art Wednesday

 

Welcome to a new Word Art Wednesday challenge! This time Karen has chosen a verse from Psalm 119:50 which is so supportive for someone going through a difficult time! I computer-generated the sentiment then layered up a favorite Into the Blooms: Wreath die set.

Our sponsors for this challenge include Scrap 'N Stamp (based in Canada) and Newton's Nook (USA). Play along with us for a chance at winning a $50 GC from Scrap 'N Stamp and a $20 GC from Newton's Nook.

STAMPS: None. 

INK: Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, Berry Sorbet, Limeade Ice, New Leaf, Bright Buttercup (Papertrey Ink).

PAPER: Stamper's Select White, Lovely Lady (PTI); Black & White Basics 6x6" pad (My Favorite Things).

Color Throwdown #825

Happy hump day! It's time again for a new Color Throwdown challenge and this week we have a yellow, pink and blue palette. I immediately knew I wanted to create a baby card using some older stamps and dies from My Favorite Things. I couldn't help it and had to add some "neutral" green leaves - haha! 

 

STAMPS: Beautiful Baby (My Favorite Things).

INK: Blueberry Sky, Enchanted Evening, Lovely Lady, Bright Buttercup, Summer Sunrise, Green Parakeet, New Leaf (Papertrey Ink); Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Stamper's Select White, Lemon Tart, Lovely Lady (PTI); Flower Market 6x6" pack (Lawn Fawn); Silver metallic.

DIES: Beautiful Baby, Baby's Bib, Oh Baby (MFT).

OTHER: White enamel dot.

We'd love to have you play along with us!  Remember... challenges occur on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month rather than weekly!                                            ~Wanda
