Colorful Options - Brown

  It's time for a new challenge over on Colorful Options.

This month the color theme is BROWN and here's
a mood board created for your inspiration . . .

 

 

Remember, this is a MONTHLY challenge so you have until the 28th
at 8:00 pm (CST) to join in the fun.
Not a fan of the color BROWN?  Well then you have the option
of creating something in rainbow colors.

This is NOT just a CARD challenge, you can create anything you wish
as long as you follow the theme of the color BROWN or Rainbow.

 

 Being inspired today by the various shades of brown in the mood board, this panel of 'wooden planks' caught my eye so that was my starting point.  This panel of designer paper came from a  Prima 'Amber Moon' paper pad which was gifted to me by my BFF Diane.  Thanks girlfriend!!

Products used are:

• Paper and sentiment panel from the paper pad identified above.
• Tim Holtz distressing tool
• Scrap of dark brown card stock.
• Stampin' Up corner punch.
  

 

I hope you'll come check it out and play along!
Thanks for stopping by!

*** We also have a new YouTube Channel ... name is: Colorful Options TV ***

Two Old Bats Challenge Time

 
Hello friends and thanks for stopping by today!

It's time once again for a new monthly challenge over on the
Two Old Bats Halloween Blog!

Just wait until you see what the team has created ... OMG!!  And to help us get our mojo going, Diane (yep, my Old Bat partner) has created this fabulous inspiration board. . .

 

 Inspired by the word BOO and the little ghost, I came up with today's card.
For my background, I have used a die from Tutti Designs called 'Stitched Web Frame' (562).  The word BOO and the little ghost come from a die set by Impression Obsession called 'BOO'.

 

An easy peasy card but effective none the less!  

 Just to refresh your memory ... here's a recap of how things are done on our blog.

Four Seasons Challenge - FALL

 

 Hello Friends

Over at the Four Seasons Challenge Blog,
it is time to switch seasons.  So, today our theme is ...

Anything Goes FALL

check out this fabulous inspiration board Diane has created for you . . .

BFF Diane (Nellie's Nest) was kind enough to share part of her Crafter's Companion 'Sunflower Collection - Nature's Garden' papers with me recently and they worked out just beautifully for today's creation.  When you have beautiful papers like this, all you need is a sentiment and your card is ready to mail!  I chose one of the Creative Expressions Wordies Sheets (Inspiration) for today's sentiment.

OH and want to mention that it is our ONE YEAR Anniversary since we began Four Seasons and it has been a HUGE success thanks to all of you that have joined in our fun and made it what it is!!

Can You Handle The Pressure - Sentiment as Focus

Hello Friends, thanks for stopping by today!

We have a new challenge starting today over on our new Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge Blog and the TWIST theme is 'SENTIMENT AS FOCUS'.  Remember, the twist is optional but you MUST use an embossing folder on our projects to qualify for the prize.  Heat embossing is also permitted but only in conjunction with an embossing folder.

 Here's what I've created to inspire you today. 

 

Today, I have used a Quick Kutz Frame embossing folder (dry embossing) then added my Inkadinkado birthday sentiment using Versamark watermark stamping ink & Moon Glow embossing powder then heat set it (wet embossing).

I haven't wet embossed in literally years and must confess not very good at it ... always make a boo boo somewhere along the line as I did today ... hence the Nuvo white crystal drops to hide that mistake.

Talk about a fast birthday card!   WOW why have I waited so long??

I do hope you'll come check out our new blog and play along.
AND yep ... we will be offering prizes at our challenges ... that's always a fun surprise!

Here's today's prize offering . . .

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
I appreciate it more than you'll ever know!!

As always . . .
