Color Throwdown #457 & Addicted to Stamps and More #256 Anything Goes

 

Wow, we didn't get a lot of card making done today.  First of all we went for our morning walk and then both of us had a massage, which felt great.  My shoulders and lower back have been giving me some trouble.  I think from lifting my dad up.  Then we decided to sit in the sun for about an hour and that felt really good too.

After that we came into the craft room to play and this is the card I made  for Color Throwdown

CAS Watercolour August 2017 using Salt

 

Another card for CAS Watercolour 

 

This was a small piece that I used salted water on and didn't think I could make anything out of it, but decided to cut a couple butterflies and it worked perfectly.

CAS Mix Up August Challenge using Alcohol Inks

 

Finally got a chance and some mojo to create another card with the some of the papers I created with Alcohol Inks.  I started out making this for CAS Watercolor, but the background wasn't right for the color of the butterfies with the salted technique.  So I looked through AI papers and thought this was perfect for the BG.

I loved the bright summer colors of this challenge

The Paper Players #317 Clean & Simple Leaf with Nance

 

I guess I really was thinking Spring or Summer, no turning leaves.  It's just I've made several cards lately in the oranges & yellows that I was ready for another color. 

I am entering this on The Paper Players

PTI Meadow Greens, Turning a New Leaf in Green Parakeet, Aqua Mist, Green Parakeet pattern paper,

I used the leaves above to make the card below as a stencil for a technique on MIM this week by Melissa (see previous post).

 These were left over leaves and I liked how they came out so thought I could use them for another card and enter in The Paper Players.

Thanks for stopping by.

The leaf in the middle is what I used as one of my shapes that I sponged around.  I loved how it turned out so decided to use it on my card. 

Melissa Cards are so soft and beautiful.

CAS Mix Up October -2 Ghosting

 

A second card for CAS Mix Up 

Really like how this one came out.  I sponged on Distress Ink and spritzed water on the Altenew Peony Bouquet stamp and stamped.  Tried several times but wasn't getting a crisp image.  Finally figured I need to wipe it with a paper towel before it spread too much.  The reason it is cut like it is because the top flower had spread too much so didn't want to re-do again.

Thanks for stopping by.
