Color Throwdown #704

 

Hello friends! Another Wednesday means another new Color Throwdown is happening. Amy Rohl is hosting this week and chose brown, green, black and white for our colors...inspired by this throw in the photo. I immediately knew these colors would be perfect to use the camouflage stencil set from Erin Lee Creative for a masculine birthday card. Generally, it takes me a good bit to decide which direction to take, but this time it was a quick and easy decision!

There are 3 stencil sheets so I used Frayed Burlap, Rustic Wilderness and Black Soot distress inks for the different layers. I used an older die - Phrase Play 5 by Papertrey Ink - for the sentiment and embellished with stars from the PTI Patriot die set. I added some moonshine sequins to finish it off.

STAMPS: Vintage Postage Sentiments (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Frayed Burlap, Rustic Wilderness, Black Soot distress (Ranger).

PAPER: Bristol Smooth Surface.

DIES: Patriot, Phrase Play 5, Border Bling: Skinny Star (Papertrey Ink).

OTHER: Moonshine sequins (PTI); Camouflage stencils (Erin Lee Creative).

 

We'd love to have you play along with us! Happy stamping!  ~Wanda

Freshly Made Sketches

 

I'm coming in under the wire for the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I wanted to try out a new camouflage stencil from Erin Lee Creative and it was so much fun! Our 6 y.o. grandson loves "camo" clothes and he likes to "craft with Nana", so this will be fun for him to create with as well! This was my first attempt and I didn't get the 3 stencils lined up very well...but...will do better next time - haha.

STAMPS: Mashup Birthday (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Antique Linen, Peeled Paint, Frayed Burlap distress inks.

PAPER: Vintage Cream (Papertrey Ink).

DIES: Mashup Birthday (PTI); Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-Namics (My Favorite Things).

Thanks for stopping by...have a wonderful day!   ~Wanda
 

Seize the Birthday

Birthday cards are the #1 occasion for which I create cards! I needed a masculine card and decided this tie die stencil would be a perfect fit. I am entering this into the Seize the Birthday challenge with an "Anything Goes" theme. 

The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Perfect Pairs Essentials stamp/die set which I use over and over because it fits most all occasions! I cut out the birthday die 3 times so it would have more dimension. Some moonshine sequins topped it all off!

STAMPS: Perfect Pairs Essentials (Papertrey Ink). 

INK: Crackling Campfire, Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron distress inks by Ranger. 

DIES: Stitched Squares ('Lil Inker Designs), Perfect Pairs Essentials (PTI).   

OTHER: Stencil by Erin Lee Creative; Moonshine sequins by PTI. 

 

Happy 4th of July and happy stamping!   ~Wanda

Color Throwdown #644

Happy hump day once again! It's time for another Color Throwdown challenge and this week Amy Rohl is hosting and has chosen yellow, gray, black and white for our colors. I thought it would be perfect to try out a new tie dye stencil I recently purchased from Erin Lee Creative and I totally love it!

My card base is 5 1/4" square and I used Bright Buttercup, Weathervane and True Black dye inks by Ink to Paper.

I cut two yellow sentiments and one white sentiment to add dimension then topped it off with some clear sequins.

DIES: To Die For Sentiments: You Brighten My Life (Ink to Paper).

We'd love to have you play along with the challenge! For more inspiration from the rest of the design team, head over to the Color Throwdown blog and check it out!  ~Wanda
