You, Me, & Tea Throwdown

This week there are some fresh and fun colors at the Color Throwdown, hosted by Lynn!

 

I used adorable lemony flowers from Pigment Ink Company!

A mix of products including stencils, stamps, and dies from the “Hello Beautiful” collection, “Dashing Sentiments,”Tea Cup,” “Blooming Teapot,” and “Tea Baggie Fillers!” The “Essential Arch” die is from Ellen Hutson.

Come play along with us this week and post your creations on the Color Throwdown blog. Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Pea Sketch

Playing along with Freshly Made Sketches this week with this sweet one from Jen Mitchell!

I cut down The Greetery’s “Curio: Divider and Details” die for my card…

I used The Greetery’s adorable new “Baby Face: Sweet Pea” dies with coordinating “Baby Face Stamps,” along with a bit of “Ribbon Maker: Daisy Chain.” Took a dive into the vintage closet with the watering can from Papertrey Ink’s “GreennThumb,” the “Broad Stripe Backgrounder,” from Cornish Heritage Farms, and teeny flower pots and blooms from Memory Box!

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Cabbage Rose Throwdown

Lori Tecler chose the coolest inspiration photo for the Color Throwdown this week…featuring pink, green, and rust!

It immediately made me think of some of the Bongo cabbage rose print jeans I wore in high school in the 80’s! …And this card was born!

I 

I used an 80’s mix tape of products, too, including “Petal Perfection “ and “Petite Painted Posies” from The Stamp Market, “Farmer’s Market Florals” from Papertrey Ink, and the “Spring Meadow Background” and a sentiment from “Opposites Attract” from The Greetery!

It’s so much fun to try color schemes that you would never think up on your own! Thanks for stopping by! 

Bitty Bouquet Sketch

Playing along with Freshly Made Sketches this week with this fun on by Jennifer Timko!

I kind of zigged and zagged from my original plan but here is what I ended up with!

I had a PinkFresh Studio “Simply Diamonds” die cut piece leftover so I added an oval in the center. Stamped some Papertrey Ink “Bitty Bouquets” to match a background stenciled with The Greetery’s “Tartan Builder Diagonal” stencils and created a sentiment with a tiny phrase from “Birthday Blooms” and “Let’s Have a Word: Spring.” I love creating with this color scheme!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Inspired by Carrots

This week at the Inspired By Challenge  was this amazing carrot bouquet…!

I tucked my “BotaniCuts: Carrots” from The Greetery behind a little vintage sign…

My sign is created with a die cut from Papertrey Ink’s “Forest Floor: Spring” set, then stamped words from “Fall Farmer’s Market” and “Farm Fresh Trees.” The “hello spring” is from The Greetery’s “Curio: Labels,” along with a background made with the “Leaves All Around” stencils and a few sprigs from “BotaniCuts: Wildflower Mix!”

So much fun to create…thanks for stopping by!

Mini Tulips Throwdown

I love the soft spring shades that Lisa Henke chose this week for the Color Throwdown Challenge …yellow, sage green, gray, and white! 

I made a card with the “Simply Diamonds” die and “Pop Out: Diamonds” stamp set from PinkFresh Studio!

I inked the little tulip stems with Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Ink, then wiped off the tulip portion and colored it yellow with a Tombow marker. 

The sentiment from The Greetery’s “Everyday Labels” was heat embossed with white powder on an acrylic sheet then cut out with the “Handmade Labels” die. Note… if you back white embossed sentiments on acrylic with white cardstock… all of your stray powder/embossing mistakes magically disappear! 😂

Thanks so much for stopping by!

So Excited! …Throwdown!

I am playing along at the Color Throwdown Challenge  this week…but this time, I am THRILLED to say as a new member of the team! I cannot even put into words how excited I am! As you know, the Color Throwdown is my favorite weekly challenge, so I am beyond grateful for this opportunity. Thank you to all of the team members for their warm welcome ❤️!

I got to play with a really fun and unique set of colors chosen by Susie for this week…blue, brown, and rust! 

I knew I wanted to make a spring card, but what images to choose with these warm colors? Well, nothing is warmer (or snugglier) for spring than a bunny! So, out came a favorite set of mine… The Greetery’s “Bunny Hop Wreath!”

I actually made that background with The Greetery’s “Square Dance Stencils” quite a while ago! It was perfect with the stenciled bunnies, flowers and a sentiment from the “Springtime” stamp set, and those glorious “BotaniCuts: Pussy Willows” that are so much fun to make …and fuzz-ify with white Fun Flock!

I can’t wait to see what everyone makes this week! Thanks so much for stopping by!
