Daffodil Delight for Colour Me...!

Weee, it's that time of the month again - Monochromatic week!! I love Monochromatic week at Colour Me...!. I'm always so fascinated to see how so many people can use the same colour and have the projects look so different.

I've been wanting to try the stained glass technique with the Blendabilities for a while now, and finally got tried it out on this card. 

I brayered the background in Daffodil Delight. The flowers were embossed with White on a piece of vellum and then cut out. The back of the vellum was coloured with Daffodil Delight Blendabilities and then popped up on the background.

Though faint, the sentiment reads "With Sympathy".

Check out the challenge this week and be sure to pop over and see what the rest of the Design Team has created, and say hello to our Featured Designer for September!

Thanks for stopping by today!

It's getting spooky around here!

Good Friday morning, friends!

I'm so looking forward to Thanksgiving this weekend... I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve! I just love this holiday. So with Thanksgiving just around the corner, it seems slightly odd that I'm skipping over it today and showing you a Halloween card!

This week at The Friday Mashup, Amanda has a fabulous sketch for us and has asked us to make it spooky! I don't have a lot spooky, so I had to make due with what I had.

I punched out the two different sized butterflies and then reinserted them into the Fancy Flower punch to 'chop' off the bottom.

For the background, I wanted to give the illusion of mist, so I made sure to pour the embossing powder over the panel quickly after I did the brayering. It turns out it looks a bit like snow instead of mist ;)

Check out the Mashup this week:

1. Create a project using "the Sketch"
2. Create a "Spooky" project
3. Or Mash it Up and create a "Spooky project using the above sketch"

Love & Sympathy

It's time for another new challenge at Dynamic Duos and this week, you get to pick one of the colours. We've gone ahead and pick one colour for you - Perfect Plum - but go nuts with #2 ;)

For my second colour, I've selected Soft Sky. I recently got the seam binding ribbon in an order and just couldn't wait to try it. 

I used the Framed Tulips for my border and brayered over them with Soft Sky. I LOVE the look of brayered embossed images! The flowers are from Fabulous Florets, stamped in Soft Sky and Perfect Plum. I cut them out and popped them up on dimensionals.

Some pearls for a little extra touch, et voila.

Check out the challenge this week:

We would love it if you stopped by and checked out what the rest of the DT has done, and play along with us!

This weekend, we are going through the huge step of moving our two boys into a room together and making an 'office' out of Jack's old room. And by 'office', I kind of mean 'craft room'... :) I currently craft in the basement, and there are have been one too many run-ins with spiders (and a cricket!) for my liking. I'll take pictures along the way to share!

Thanks for stopping by today!
