CutCardStock Day

I'm beginning to acquire lots [LOTS] of colored card stock from this terrific company.  That said, I used many of the colored card stock to make today's card.

The best part is, I am thrilled with the end result!  I used the following card stock:

Bright White 130# for my card base

Pearlized Textured Jet Stream Blue

Aqua

Gold Glitter

For the different flowers I used:

Solar Yellow

Wild Blueberry Navy

Blue Calico

Raspberry Ice

Red Maple

Gum Drop Green

Bonsai Green

Lots of colors for a fun Hello card!  I hope you like it~  See you next Monday.

Addicted to CAS Challenge #276 - Friends

 
 
I had a few ideas for friends, but then I went literal with friendship.  Yep, friend is in there :)  I find myself with a lot [a LOT] of colored card stock.  That said, I will be trying to use colored card bases so I can use it!  I used the Dark Teal from CutCardStock.  [My favorite color needless to say.]

I do love a geometrical card [thanks Pinterest].  They work perfectly for a unisex card, and they look fabulous.  I have been seeing gold embossing of images, and really like the look - hence, my embossing on this card. 

I'm also seeing a lot of "use what you have" [rather then buying] on the internet, so, I used some Stampin Up images, and even the sentiment is SU.  Can I say these are at least 25 years old!  [Yep, I'm a stamp hoarder - just can't move them on!] and, the card stock was mentioned above.  Joining in this trend is easy for me, and I am totally on board!

Your turn!  Come on over to the Addicted to CAS Challenge #276, and show us your creation~

The Male Room Challenge #195 - Monochrome


This challenge works well for a masculine card - especially if the right color is chosen.
 
I opened my card stock drawer to look for a color that would work, but also, one I haven't used in long time. I went with a sand color. 

To make this card a little more interesting, I made it a shaker card too.

 I'm happy with this one!  Masculine with some fun.  Yep, that works!

Your turn.  You have all month to join in over at The Male Room #195.

CutCardStock Day

 

Thought I would brighten up your day with this very bright, and fun card.

This is a new color combo for me actually.  I rather like it.  I used Raspberry Ice, Indigo Blue and Bonsai Green.

That's it for me today~  I'll be back next week with another CCS card.




AAA Birthday Challenge #70 - Ink Smooshing

It's my choice for this month's challenge.  Ink smooshing is fun, I hope you join in!

I went really [really] subtle!  I created a smooshed panel [using green and blue oxide inks], dried it, and stamped it, using Dare 2B Artzy, BEEutiful with matching dies.

The sentiment is is from [Laura's box] Simon Says Bold Smiles with matching dies.  The textured background is from STAMPlorations Circles All Over Cover Plate.

Okay, your turn!  You have all month to join in over at AAA Birthday #70.
