AEI♥U Challenge #25 – Rainbow

It’s time for another AEI♥U Challenge! The theme this month is Rainbow.

Here’s my take on the AEI♥U Challenge Rainbow Challenge:

AEJune2015JM

I stamped the lanterns and sentiment with stamps in the Bunting set and cut the lanterns out with their coordinating Elle-ments dies. The strings and ribbons were also die cut with the Bunting Elle-ments set. For a little more color, I added stars cut with dies from the Finished Frames Elle-ments set.

There’s no limit to how you can interpret rainbow for this challenge!

Check out the inspiration from the rest of the Design Team over on the AEI♥U Challenge Blog!  You’ll also find the InLinkz tool to link up YOUR take on the challenge – we’d love to see your beautiful work in our gallery! There are two $25 Avery Elle Gift Certificates up for grabs for the two best entries!  You have until 12:01 AM on June  26, 2015 to link up your take on the challenge!

Supplies:

ColourQ #292

I created a CAS Thank You card created with die cuts for the ColourQ #292 Challenge.

CQC292

I cut the letters with the Lawn Cuts alphabet dies and placed them onto the colored squares, cut with one of the smaller square dies in a Spellbinders Nestabilities set. I cut the letters from all four of the colors and played around with combinations of letters and squares until choosing this one. The stitched rectangle was cut with a Lil’ Inker die.

Supplies:

CAS(E) this Sketch #125

I’m playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch #125 using Reverse Confetti stamps and dies.

Here’s my take on the sketch:

The sketch was perfect for pairing the “Thanks” from the Fancy Words Confetti Cuts with one of the sentiments in the Fancy Word Coordinates stamp set. I used the Triple Chevies Confetti Cuts die to create the chevron elements. The sun was cut with a die in the Sun ‘n Clouds Confetti Cuts set.

Penny Black Butterfly Garden

Today I’m sharing a spring-themed card combining Penny Black die cuts and stamped images.

I cut the butterflies with one of the dies from the #51-132 Flights of Fancy set and colored them with Copic markers. I inked the #40-282 Twirls stamp with Memento markers and stamped it onto white cardstock. The sentiment from the #30-283 Snippets set was heat embossed. I dry embossed the background to add texture.
