Cards 4 Guys #366

There's a sketch at the Cards 4 Guys Challenge and this is what I did with it.

I have a paper pack with a lot of backgrounds that I bought for masculine cards and used three of them on my card today.  The circles and stars are dies from Sizzix cut with graphite foil from Concord and 9th.  The sentiment from PTI was silver embossed on the same paper used for the strips connecting the center section to the background.

Inkspirational #335 and NBUS #71

Inkspirational has a beautiful mood board for challenge #335.

I saw hyacinths but since I don't have any I thought lilacs would work as well so that's the direction I took.  It's the first time using that die so my card is also going over to NBUS. 

The lilacs are from The Greetery, cut from white PTI cardstock and colored with Altenew inks.  The background is The Greetery's Shiplap Builder.  I've had it in my Bits box for quite a while after trying a technique I saw Betsy do on You Tube.  I can't remember exactly how I did it so I'm glad I have the video saved to try it again.  You may want to try it too. 

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a great day!

AAA Colorful #13

Today's brightly colored card is for the AAA Colorful Challenge.

I got this Erin Lee Creative tie dye stencil a while ago and have made several cards with it.  This time I changed it up a bit to include the entire rainbow of colors.  While the sentiment looks black, it's actually indigo.  It's from Gina K and came with my Intri-cut.  

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you have a colorful day.

Color Hues #104 and NBUS #71

I thought I'd try out a new die set from Altenew called Fresh Flowers for the challenge at Color Hues where my friend Bonnie (their newest team member) has chosen Coral and Yellow.  

I picked out PTI Melon Berry and an unidentified yellow cardstock and added dimension to the flower centers with a darker shade of ink.  The leaves are cut from PTI Soft Stone and the background embossing is an Altenew folder called Always Sunshine. I really like this set and can see making the flowers in a variety of colors. 

Since this is the first showing of this set I'm also sending my card to Darnell's NBUS challenge.
