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.

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.

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

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

Freshly Made Sketches

 

The good thing about frigid weather is that I don't venture outdoors much! Instead, it's a great time to get creative in my crafty space, so I went with creating a card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Karren has a really fun sketch for us this week!

SSS Wednesday Challenge

 

Simon Says Stamp: Get In Shape featuring Altenew... the new SSS Wednesday Challenge over on the Simon Says Stamp blog! I'm also entering this into the Sunday Stamps challenge with a color palette to follow (using at least 3 colors) and also at Seize the Birthday challenge to use something new.

One of my newest stamps/dies/stencils is a collection from Altenew called Zero-Waste Chocolate Flowers. Four layering stencils give you a square sheet of many florals and leaves which you die cut using one huge die that cuts them all at once! It's a genius concept!

I wanted to use the largest banner die for the card base and cut out 3 white banners. The bottom panel was scored about 3/8" from the top then adhered to the front panel using Score Tape. It then is able to stand like an easel (sorry I forgot to photograph that view).

STAMPS: Chocolate Flowers background set (Altenew); Sentiment Suite: Birthday (The Greetery).

INK: Winter Wisteria, Vintage Jadeite, Ocean Tides, New Leaf, Lemon Tart, Bright Buttercup, Harvest Gold, Melon Berry (Papertrey Ink); Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Stampers Select White (PTI).

DIES: Zero-Waste Chocolate Flowers (Altenew); Sentiment Suite Basics (The Greetery); A2 Nested Pendant Etched (Photoplay Paper); Cover Plate: Quilted (Papertrey Ink).

OTHER: Satin ribbon; Brad.
