PaperSmooches Sparks and Retrosketches #151

I’m playing along with Retrosketches #151 and Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge. I couldn’t resist a vase of bright flowers to chase away a dreary overcast day!

Colour Me #56 Playful

Today, I’m sharing a card made for the Colour Me Challenge with Penny Black supplies.

I went back and forth on the colors, trying to decided which element should be which color, especially the yellow and orange. Although the elements are well-suited for Valentine’s Day, they’d work for any season! In this case I was thinking about spring.

I used Penny Black’s 51-100 Tree of Love as a branch on which to place the bird, cut with the 51-094 Tweets die. The frame was created with the 51-057 Polaroid die onto which I heat embossed a sentiment from 30-269 So Very Much.

It’s o”fish”al!

Today, I’m sharing an ocean-themed card in tropical colors with another punny Reverse Confetti sentiment paired with Confetti Cuts.

To begin, I cut the waves with the Doin’ the Wave Confetti Cuts set in three cardstock colors and layered them together. The heart was cut with Love Note. (I cut a string of hearts with the die then put the cut piece back into the die and cut again, which cleanly cut off one of the hearts.) The fish were cut on my Silhouette. The heart and fish are attached to the waves with dimensional adhesive.

ColourQ #277

I’m playing along with ColourQ #277 with a Reverse Confetti sentiment stamp and RC Confetti Cuts.

I’m a big fan of red and gray together. The addition of the pink and coral was a combination I’ve never considered!

I combined one of the sentiments from the Reverse Confetti Sugary Sweet Sentiments set with a soda bottle shape I cut on my Silhouette and embellished with hearts from the Donut You Know Confetti Cuts set. The large heart on the bottle was cut with Love Note. I cut a few hearts with the die then put the cut piece back into the die and cut again, which cleanly cut off one of the hearts.
